Course Details
This interactive lecture is led by a lead researcher from the Climate Foundation, with a background in engineering from Caltech and over a decade of on-the-ground work in climate restoration, supported by the Gates Foundation, the NAFTA Commission for Environmental Cooperation, and other leading institutions.
Delivered in an inverted classroom format, the session blends peer-reviewed data, real-world case studies, live audience Q&A, and cross-disciplinary insights spanning engineering, marine biology, agronomy, public policy, and social entrepreneurship. It moves beyond the doom and gloom of mainstream climate discourse to focus on actionable, entrepreneurial, and gigaton-scale solutions to restore carbon balance, protect critical ecosystems, and ensure global food security.
The content is designed for students and practitioners in environmental engineering, climate policy, marine science, sustainable agriculture, and climate-focused entrepreneurship, with a core focus on turning climate science into scalable, economically viable action.
