New MOOC on Polycentric Climate Change Governance
The Open University has been leading the development of a new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) within a large European network of climate governance researchers. The MOOC focuses on the challenge of how we can govern climate change in the 21st century, as the world rapidly becomes more complex, connected, and dynamic. This is one of the most urgent problems facing human society, and one being tackled by the INOGOV network co-led by the Open University (Dave Huitema, Vice-Chair).

Content MOOC based on recent INOGOV book

This MOOC on Polycentric Climate Change Governance developed by the Open University is a key dissemination mechanism for mobilising novel insights and lessons of this action. It centres on the idea of 'polycentric' climate governance, which refers to governance involving multiple centres of authority both within and beyond government.

The MOOC has been developed based directly on the landmark publication of the INOGOV book Governing Climate Change: Polycentricity in Action? edited by Andrew Jordan, Dave Huitema, Harro van Asselt and Johanna Forster, Cambridge University Press (fully open access). The MOOC provides an outstanding opportunity to gain in-depth understanding of key ideas and topics covered in the book.

Customization of the MOOC possible

The MOOC will be open to anyone wishing to develop their knowledge of the emerging ‘polycentric’ global climate governance landscape or update their knowledge in line with cutting-edge academic insights. It will be delivered in several forms to meet the specific needs of researchers, university teachers, policymakers, and practitioners:

  • A short version (approx. 5-8 hours duration) that provides an introduction and overview of key concepts for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
  • A full version (approx. 50-80 hours duration) that provides a comprehensive learning experience for researchers and policymakers wishing to gain in-depth knowledge.
  • A package of teaching resources available to university teachers or professional educators for use in courses.

Launch and application

The short version of the MOOC and package of teaching resources will be launched by the end of May 2018. The full version of the MOOC is planned to run in a facilitated format for approximately 8-10 weeks during September-November 2018.

To find out more information, or register your interest to be advised of the launch of the MOOC in any of the above formats, please contact James Patterson.

About the INOGOV network

The INOGOV network is funded through an EU COST (Cooperation in Science & Technology) Action, that brings together leading climate change governance scholars from across 28 European countries (2014-2018).
