Course Summary:
Energy is the single biggest contributor to global warming, but without energy, our economies and societies would not be sustained. Most of the world’s energy comes from non-renewable resources which pollute the air and land, and interest in cleaner,
renewable energy resources that can power the planet is growing. The hydrogen industry in Queensland is set to provide a source of energy storage which can be utilised nationally and internationally, reducing carbon dioxide emissions globally and
positioning Queensland as a sustainable energy powerhouse. Students undertaking this micro-credential will learn how hydrogen can support the world’s growing energy demands while reducing the global carbon footprint, as well as develop the STEM skills
relevant to participating in the emerging hydrogen industry.

Micro-credential Summary:
Delve into the complex and challenging environmental issues that we face today, and how we can manage or even solve them. Environmental issues affect every human being, and are a truly global concern. This micro-credential gives a comprehensive introduction not only to the current problems and threats to the environment but also to possible solutions and effective environmental management. You’ll start by learning about the nature of environmental science, resources, the basis of the world’s ecosystem, and the concept of the triple bottom line for sustainability.
With this strong foundational knowledge, you’ll be able to look at the other issues raised over the micro-credential. Not only will you understand them, but you’ll also see how to manage them and what solutions are possible. The term ‘wicked problems’ comes from the field of planning and policy. It refers to issues that are difficult or seemingly impossible to solve. For the rest of this micro-credential, you’ll be taking a close look at the wicked problems that sustainability and environmentalism are currently facing. You’ll unpack global climate change, generation of waste, fossil fuel consumption, and, perhaps most challenging of all, the impact of the human population explosion. You’ll also get to explore potential solutions, such as renewable energy sources, and how environmental impacts can be lessened with effective management.
This is a non-creditable micro-credential which is awarded a digital badge and Certificate of Completion which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify fundamental concepts in environmental science
- Investigate our earth's atmosphere and global climate change
- Explore the wicked problem of human demography and the ecological footprint we leave
- Compare types of waste and learn behavioural changes can help to reduce your impact on the environment.
