How Our Co-Founder Completed Terra.do's Climate Course
A 12-Week Journey into Climate Education
Julie Thibault-Dury, Clozist's co-founder, recently completed Terra.do's 12-week live climate course as a Women and Climate Hero. The program gave her a deeper understanding of the science, economics, and communication strategies needed to address global climate challenges.
What the Course Covered
The curriculum explored four core areas:
- Emissions & Global Carbon Cycle: The science behind greenhouse gases and how they warm the planet
- Global Impacts of Climate Change: How rising temperatures affect environments and communities worldwide
- Communicating Climate Change: How to talk about climate action in ways that inspire others to get involved
- Economics, Energy & Finance: The financial solutions and policies that drive the transition to a low-carbon future
Learning from a Global Community
One of the most valuable parts of the course was connecting with people from different backgrounds and countries. These conversations brought fresh perspectives on how climate solutions work differently across regions.
A particular moment stood out for Julie: a discussion about electrifying transport. Coming from France, where electric trains are standard, she hadn't realized how uncommon this technology is elsewhere. It underscored how global collaboration is essential to spreading sustainable solutions and closing the gap between countries.
Taking Knowledge Into Action
Terra.do's approach goes beyond just teaching climate science. The course builds a community of people committed to environmental change, creating connections that extend far beyond the 12 weeks.
Julie is now using what she learned to help Clozist continue its mission of making sustainable family living more accessible. If you're curious about climate change and want to explore how you can contribute to solutions, Terra.do's courses are a solid starting point for your own climate journey.
