Recognizing our role as a leading research and education center in air quality and climate science, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) provided CE-CERT financial support to establish the Air Quality and Climate Research Training (ACT) Program. This was a series of professional development courses designed to prepare the engineers, scientists, technicians, and managers of today and tomorrow to address air quality and climate change challenges. Courses were developed using the most current cross-disciplinary subject material to address emerging trends in the transformation to sustainable living.
Some of the courses offered covered topics in Emissions & Air Quality, Air Pollution Health Impacts, Co-Benefits of Clean Air and Climate Change Activities, Sustainable Mobility and Goods Movement, Clean Air and Climate Change Policies, and Renewable Energy Generation and Integration.
