This action-oriented MOOC offered via the Coursera learning platform gives you the opportunity to learn about regional climate change impacts and sector-specific strategies to increase resilience and move towards a low-carbon future.

A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY, AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE
To belong
Sorry sir, that means it’s for those living in dschang??
Hi Nouchi Paulin,
Thanks for reaching out. The opportunity is for Cameroonians. Dschang town is just a preference, because our headquarter is located there and also because bringing along 20 plastic bottles or 1/2 kg plastic bags is another pre-condition to be eligible for the scholarship. If you can figure out on how to send us your plastic bottles, then nothing will stop you from gaining the scholarship if you are eligible.
How ever, we encourage you to register, while figuring out on how to meet up with all the requirements.
We hope your question is answered?
Sorry I have applied but am from Kenya. But my suggestion is that since we have an internet platform that can link all personnel in the entire globe, its brilliant if you could enhance eligibility we brainstorm together as climate issue has at higher percentage affected the entire world.
Thank you Robinson and thanks for your message.
We are brainstorming on the possibilities of enlarging the scope.
