Online Learning Opportunities
In 2019, The Yale Center for Business and the Environment embarked on a pioneering venture, launching one of Yale University's first online certificate programs. It was a pilot, an experiment to understand what virtual non-degree bearing programs could become, and to showcase the transformative impact of online learning at Yale. Since then, we have launched a Coursera course in Connected Leadership with over 35,000 learners enrolled in its first six months. And, in January 2024 we will launch the Clean Equitable Energy Development online program in partnership with the Yale Center for Environmental Justice.
Our mission is clear - to inspire, support, and accelerate the transition to a just and thriving world. At CBEY, we believe in the power of connection, the synergy of ideas, and the mobilization of resources to foster innovative business and cross-sector solutions to the most pressing global challenges of our time. Our commitment to online education has made critical knowledge accessible to thousands and has helped build powerful networks of learners and leaders worldwide.

Financing and Deploying Clean Energy
Overview
This online certificate program is for working professionals who seek to accelerate an equitable transition to a clean economy.
The key objective of the Financing and Deploying Clean Energy (FDCE) program is to grow a powerful network of clean energy experts at the forefront of our energy transition, and help professionals understand the interplay of the financial, technological, and socioeconomic drivers in financing and deploying clean energy. The FDCE program builds understanding about this pivotal moment in our energy transition, makes sense of the complex landscape of clean energy, and, importantly, highlights key levers for change in various sectors and supports immediate implementation.
Clean and Equitable Energy Development
Overview
CEED is an online certificate program that equips participants to develop and evaluate clean energy projects that deliver tangible financial, social, and environmental benefits to local communities.
Participants will explore how developers scope, design, and develop clean energy projects while evaluating the justice principles and opportunities involved from the earliest stages of planning. This practical approach ensures that clean energy projects, or the policies that support them, will promote long-term community resilience and economic empowerment.
