What is the course
Climate change is a “wicked problem” for business and society. A low carbon transition is underway, but it’s not happening fast enough to prevent the earth's temperature from rising substantially in coming decades. The result will be a petri dish of business risks and opportunities. Physical impact risks, brand risks, regulatory and policy risks, liability risks, market transition risks, and systemic economic risks will become more material to more elements of the business community as climate change advances. The result is unparalleled business uncertainty and decision-making challenges. Business decision-makers need far more actionable climate knowledge than they ever needed before.

Thanks for publishing Your Climate Risk MBA. It's fantastic, and I've been thinking about the content constantly over the last few weeks. I've been aware of (and in some cases have actively worked on) climate change issues for over 30 years, and your course truly opened my eyes to the power of knowledge management.

Mark Trexler's Climate Risk MBA course covers all the essential elements for understanding climate change and how climate uncertainty is at the core of sustainable business decisions. His clearly stated explanations and insights cut through the confusion that engulfs most climate-risk considerations. From my perspective, Trexler’s work, as supplemented by the ClimateWeb resources, offers the most balanced and comprehensive basis for risk assessment and risk management available.

Mark Trexler is a knowledgeable and clear-thinking instructor on this issue, and there's no better resource out there for climate information than his Climate Web. This is an incredible perspective and value for the investment of time and money.

What is the course
Carbon offsets are a popular climate change mitigation options, but they are also frequently criticized. This course delivers an in-depth understanding of the history and evolution of carbon offsets, the challenges posed by “commoditizing” emissions reductions and carbon removals as offsets, where offset markets are headed next, how they can be improved, and whether you should buy them.
why take this course
The Climatographers, creators of the Climate Web, worked on the first carbon offset 35 years ago and have been involved with carbon offset markets ever since. They are widely regarded as experts on carbon offsets, the environmental integrity of carbon offsets, and scoring of carbon offsets. Take this course to leverage our decades of carbon offsets experience.

Dr. Trexler‘s comprehensive knowledge allows him to simplify a fairly muddy discussion. This is a huge plus for viewers. This is clearly an educational course, not a partisan viewpoint. Well done!

A comprehensive, well-structured, and clear course on carbon offsets. Surely a course to revisit, as it is packed with valuable information and charts. Don't miss it!

This was a very insightful course. It is great to get first hand insights from Dr. Trexler and to learn more about Climate Web. The course covers a lot of key topics, the no-nonsense overview of Permanence, Leakage and Additionality in particular was very useful.

What is the course
The Climate Web is built with a powerful personal knowledge management (PKM) software called TheBrain™. PKM is probably the most important skillset in today's world that you’ve never been exposed to in school or professionally. We all practice PKM at some level, but this course shows you how you can advance your personal and professional goals with personal knowledge management using TheBrain software.
why take this course
Most of us are deluged by information that is relevant to us today, or might be relevant to us in the future. But we have no way of easily organizing and retaining that information, and usually quickly forget it. A “digital brain” can solve this problem. This course shows you a wide variety of ways that people are using TheBrain software to create fit-for-purpose “second brains," including the Climate Web and Your Climate Change Search Engine.

This course is an excellent intro to PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) with TheBrain software. I've been using the pro-version of TheBrain for many years, but there is one feature I missed, and that's using pre-set search terms. That alone made this course worthwhile for me (and was the reason for buying the course). Thanks, Mark, for pointing that out!

This course isn't (and doesn't pretend to be) a how-to on using The Brain software. Instead, it provides a good intro to the capabilities of The Brain and the various ways you can put it to use, within the broader context of knowledge management.

The application of predefined searches is a powerful technique that I haven't seen applied in other areas. The contribution of all this information by Mark Trexler, including the download of the Climate Search Engine for addition to my own TheBrain, is a tremendous contribution to the pursuit of saving mankind from mass climate afflictions.
