<aside> 💡 CU's Mindful Approach: It is CU's responsibility to inform and to give Fellows the background information needed to form evidence-driven opinions and decisions addressing the climate crisis. To do this, we will devise the idea of "Carbon and Climate" into a three-pronged approach:
We believe that introduction to efforts made in these three fronts will strengthen overall understanding of the energy system, mitigation action, and climate adaptation. The lessons will not be all-encompassing; however, the goal of this Fellowship is to provide a principles first approach to the subject matter to better prepare fellows for their future engagements in the climate space. Further, the Fellowship will not be able to cover every topic within the climate crises. However, the theory of change supports why the selected lessons will allow for students to explore other topics post-Fellowship:
💡 Theory of Change If students are introduced to critical and foundational subjects in their early lessons, then they will be better prepared to emerge as leaders in more nuanced or cutting-edge issues within the climate crisis because a solid understanding of fundamental principles provides the necessary foundation for tackling complex challenges effectively.
👥 Skills to be strengthened throughout Fellowship: -Teamwork and collaboration applicable to local context and beyond

<aside> 💡 There are 5 types of capital needed to address the climate crisis: physical, financial, intellectual, political, and human. This Fellowship will explore and leverage all five. At a high-level, the curriculum aims to shed light on the intersection between tech-markets-and policy. The curriculum is broken into two parts over the course of the Fellowship: 1) Mitigation (6 weeks) and 2) Adaptation and Resilience (4 weeks).

<aside> ⏱️ Asynchronous reading and video material will not exceed 1 hour and 15 min. The readings are a combination of technical information critical, current or emerging policy initiatives and regulations, and forward-looking articles pushing the boundaries of innovation in the climate space related to the weekly concepts.
👥 Round Tables Sunday night lessons called, “Round Tables” to signal a seminar or inclusive discussion-based experience, focuses on a topic broadly belonging to the mitigation or adaptation conversation. Monday lessons are 90 minutes. The first 60 minutes are instruction and the last 30 minutes are discussion-based.
✏️ Lesson Selection The lessons adopt a micro to macro approach: introduce the science and data underpinning the concept and expand to learn about the application, regulation, or implications of set issue within a broader system.
