The course offers basic and interdisciplinary knowledge of climate change in the Baltic Sea region and connects it to regional problems and solutions. The content chiefly focuses on regional perspectives, although global issues are also addressed to a lesser degree. The course is a collaboration between Uppsala University and fourteen other universities around the Baltic Sea Region and takes the student through six steps.

1. It's climate (understanding basic climatology)
2. It's warming
3. It's us
4. We're sure
5. It's bad
6. We can fix it
