00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.280 align:middle line:84%
Energy is critically important
for human development.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.150 align:middle line:90%
It has always been like that.

00:00:19.150 --> 00:00:22.964 align:middle line:90%

00:00:22.964 --> 00:00:27.400 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:30.910 align:middle line:84%
Current global energy use
is unprecedentedly high.

00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:33.150 align:middle line:90%
Climate change will hit us hard.

00:00:33.150 --> 00:00:35.760 align:middle line:84%
It will affect global
food production heavily.

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:39.100 align:middle line:84%
It will damage global
biodiversity heavily.

00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.780 align:middle line:84%
It will lead to
significant sea level rise.

00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:45.180 align:middle line:84%
And that, in turn, will
lead to loss of fertile land

00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:46.300 align:middle line:90%
but also mass migration.

00:00:46.300 --> 00:00:51.940 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:55.870 align:middle line:84%
It is still possible
to see futures

00:00:55.870 --> 00:01:00.240 align:middle line:84%
in which we develop and build
and implement other energy

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:01.360 align:middle line:90%
systems.

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:05.120 align:middle line:84%
But it is extremely complicated
because technological solutions

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.870 align:middle line:84%
depends on what is possible
in a certain region--

00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:10.425 align:middle line:84%
the potential for wind
energy, potential bioenergy.

00:01:10.425 --> 00:01:14.250 align:middle line:90%


00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.990 align:middle line:84%
This is, of course, about
energy technologies,

00:01:16.990 --> 00:01:19.530 align:middle line:84%
energy systems,
infrastructure, but also

00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:22.400 align:middle line:90%
economics, social science.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.750 align:middle line:84%
It is about planning,
governance, policy, and law.

00:01:26.750 --> 00:01:30.130 align:middle line:90%


00:01:30.130 --> 00:01:33.340 align:middle line:84%
All the science fields
need to work together

00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:36.890 align:middle line:84%
to provide answers to
these type of questions.

00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:39.900 align:middle line:84%
In this seven-week,
free, online course,

00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:43.220 align:middle line:84%
you will learn how this
complexity can be dealt with

00:01:43.220 --> 00:01:45.960 align:middle line:84%
and how those science
fields can work together

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:50.300 align:middle line:84%
to provide you answers for
those type of transitions.

00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:59.295 align:middle line:90%
