Going Green MOOC: During President Obama’s historic visit to India in January 2015, the President and Prime Minister Modi released a joint statement that included a mutual call to address climate change and better protect the environment. In the statement, our leaders recognized that global climate change is a profound threat to humanity and to the imperatives of sustainable development, growth, and the eradication of poverty. Both countries share a deep concern for better protection of the planet and understand that concerted action is needed on both sides. In order to inform audiences, particularly students, about the threat of climate change, environmental challenges, and options for greener development, the U.S Mission to India is searching for a grantee to produce a ten-episode, English-language massively open online course (MOOC) on environmental protection and climate change, using the expertise of Indian alumni of U.S. exchange programs. The MOOC also will inform U.S. audiences about environmental challenges in India and novel solutions being implemented by government and civil society. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the impact of fossil fuel use on global warming, water conservation, alternative energy, and deforestation. The content will be made available to students and across Mission India’s social media platforms.
