Ed: If you’re at a ‘lockdown loose end’ you might want to take the opportunity to study a short course. This one caught my attention. Future Learn is well worth a look – and many of the courses are free!

Earth Day has never been more important this year. Due to COVID-19, we’ve been given a brief insight into what a low-carbon future could look like due to lockdown being implemented across the globe. Now is the time to learn more about sustainability and learn what part you can play in tackling climate change with online courses made by top universities and institutions.

We’re proud to partner with the University of Michigan, where Earth day originated 50 years ago. You can learn about the past, present and future of Earth Day at 50 on their free online course, featuring an expert team of guest educators.

Get further inspiration to take action against climate change this Earth Day with our collection of online courses on reducing your environmental impact and saving the world, including:

• new Energy Technologies and Sustainable Development with Grenoble Ecole de Management
• learn about the Tipping Points of Climate Change and Society, the Science and Solutions with Exeter University
• explore the fashion industry’s impact on people and the planet, with Fashion Revolutions’ course Fashion’s Future: The Sustainable Development Goals.
