Our FREE ‘Live at the COP’ MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) remains open as a legacy resource until COP30 begins in November 2025.

Since its first iteration in 2021 for COP26, over 20,000 people from over 170 countries have taken part in this collaborative, facilitated learning opportunity.

The course ran during the United Nations COP29 Climate Change Conference which took place in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 – 29 November.

This course offers you an opportunity to examine what the COP process is, why it’s considered to be important and reflect on how you can add your voice to the call for collective action for a sustainable future.

Throughout the course, we shared ‘live’ insights into the issues being discussed at COP29, as well as responses to the conference themes from children and young people, community groups and ministerial bodies, both nationally and internationally. Using these ‘starting points’, we invite you to reflect on what you have heard, watched and read, and think about what these conversations and issues mean to you.

Course content from ‘Live at COP29’ will remain open, free and accessible as a legacy resource for school, community and individual use beyond the Conference.

It’s back! Join a worldwide learning community with ‘Learning for a Sustainable Future’
2025-03-10 08:00 - 2025-04-13 17:00
How to live a sustainable life affects – and connects – everyone and everything.

Climate change, gender equality, biodiversity collapse, health, social equity, and inclusion are issues that concern us all, impacting human and planetary well-being, and economic stability.

We’re delighted to announce the next ‘run’ of ‘Learning for a Sustainable Future’; our highly successful online learning opportunity, which has, to date, attracted over 20,000 learners from nearly 160 countries.

Developed in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and the British Council, we invite you to join a FREE, facilitated run of the course, from Monday 10 March to Sunday 13 April.

You’ll develop an informed personal response to major global challenges as you’re supported to take positive actions towards a sustainable future. You’ll learn more about current global issues and consider how we can all take action, personally or locally. The course has an additional strand for those working in formal or informal education, who want to bring some of the activities and issues covered in the course into their own teaching.
