Swedish universities tasked with climate-transition education

Uppsala University to coordinate project to bring information and action to wider society

The Swedish government has allocated funding to nine higher education institutions to develop web-based education in support of society’s climate transition.

The universities will use the money to create so-called massive open online courses (MOOCs) that teach people to adapt to climate change and inform them about the latest trends. The higher education institutions chosen for the task are Uppsala University, Lund University, the Royal University of Technology, Linköping University, Umeå University, Luleå University of Technology, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Mälardalen University and Chalmers University of Technology.
