War and the Environment: Online Course by World BEYOND War

We’re excited to announce our upcoming 6-week online course, War and the Environment, which will run from June 7 – July 18, 2021

This course will provide participants an opportunity to learn from, dialogue with, and strategize for change with World BEYOND War experts, peer activists, and changemakers from around the world.

• How does war contribute to the environmental crisis?
• How does climate change contribute to armed conflict?
• How can the peace movement and the climate change movement work together more effectively to optimise the impact of both?

These questions and more will be explored in the course.

Each week of the course will feature a guest facilitator from World BEYOND War’s team or its partner organisations. These guest experts will help you to explore weekly topics through an online chat room. Weekly content includes a mix of text, images, video, and audio. The course is done on your schedule, so there’s no need to worry about the timing of it.

We’ll dismantle the myths of war, and delve into its alternatives, concluding the course with organizing and action ideas.

A certificate is provided to participants who complete all written assignments.

Here is the course registration page.

Please help out by sharing this far and wide!

Yours in peace,

Phill Gittins, Education Director, World BEYOND War
