The quality of the modules taught at the Climate Leadership Program has helped me tremendously in structuring how to better educate the people at the grassroots in understanding climate change issues, policies being formulated and how their local solutions can help them in adapting to these changes.

Thank you for linking me with Agnes, that certificate is the key that made me an intern at REMA ( Rwanda environment management authority). Now I have officially started the journey of my career. I hope we’ll have more connection between us and many opportunities from you!! I want to grow in this career.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank you and AGNES for organizing this wonderful and addictive course. I learned a lot of things from the course facilitators (the experts) and as well our follow-up discussions. Surely, this was among the best online classes I’ve ever attended! Thank you Michael once again for your wonderful coordination.
