Program Overview

Program Description:

Let your learning run wild in the Costa Rican Cloud Forest

Welcome to the jungle! From your home base at CIEE's Global Institute in Monteverde - our eco-friendly campus nestled next to the cloud forest - explore careers, practical applications, and training for future professions in the field of climate change mitigation.

Live in a rural community, surrounded by forests, farms, and amazing wildife. Network with local activists and professionals to discuss the impact of climate change in the region and learn about effective mitigation strategies. Observe and experience firsthand, progressive community initiatives that strive to balance the three legs of the "sustainability stool" - the economy, the environment, and society - while implementing local solutions for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. By the end of this program, you'll be able to visualize concrete solutions in an original project of your own design, and envision what a career path could look like for you in that field.
