Les transitions énergétique & écologique dans les pays du Sud
L’Agence Française de Développement et l’ENS lancent la quatrième édition du MOOC « Transitions énergétique et écologique dans les pays du Sud ». Cette année le MOOC est proposé simultanément en 4 langues : · En français : Transitions énergétique et écologique dans les pays du Sud · En anglais : Ecological and Energy Transitions in Southern Countries https://coursera.org/learn/ecological-and-energetical-transitions-in-southern-countries · En espagnol : Transiciones energéticas y ecológicas en los países del Sur https://www.coursera.org/learn/transiciones-energeticas-y-ecologicas-en-los-paises-del-sur . En portugais : Transição energética e ecológica em países do sul https://www.coursera.org/learn/transiao-energtica-e-ecologica-em-paises-do-sul Ce MOOC se situe à la confluence du développement des pays du Sud et du développement durable. Il a : - une dimension macroéconomique et financière portée notamment par Gael Giraud et Alain Grandjean en tant qu’intervenants, - une dimension écologique et climatique portée notamment par David Claessen et les intervenants de l’ENS, et - une dimension de focus sur les pays du Sud portée notamment par les intervenants de l’AFD. Les objectifs d'apprentissage de l'ensemble de la formation : Obj 1 : Être en mesure de faire le lien entre la transition énergétique, la transition écologique, le rôle de l’énergie dans l’économie, le modèle de développement économique et les questions de financement Obj 2 : Savoir plaider et argumenter, sur les enjeux, la nécessité de changer la réalité pour mettre en place des stratégies et des plans d’actions Obj 3 : Savoir faire le lien entre la Transition énergétique et les solutions de financement, savoir faire le lien entre compréhension et actions Personne ne conteste l’impérieuse nécessité d’assurer à tous un développement fondé sur le bien-être et une répartition équitable des richesses. Jusqu’à présent, le développement des pays du Nord reposait sur une exploitation croissante des ressources énergétiques ainsi qu’une liberté accrue de commerce et d’échanges à l’échelle de la planète ; or, nous savons désormais qu’un tel modèle n’est plus soutenable, en raison du réchauffement climatique et de la surexploitation des ressources conduisant à des désastres sanitaires, sociaux et environnementaux. Dès lors, comment assurer une croissance juste et équitable pour tous ? Quel rôle les pays du Sud ont-ils à jouer dans ce bouleversement complet des modèles économiques, commerciaux et politiques actuels, pour mener une transition énergétique et écologique efficace ? Ce cours en ligne gratuit propose le point de vue croisé de plusieurs spécialistes des problématiques liées au changement climatique et au développement de pays du Sud. Sous un angle résolument pratique, des intervenants internationaux vous livreront leur lecture des crises actuelles et les réponses pouvant y être apportées. Les participants bénéficieront ainsi des analyses : • De chercheurs issus de la prestigieuse École Normale Supérieure de Paris • Des experts du terrain provenant de l’Agence Française de Développement, bailleur de fond engagé dans les pays en développement depuis 75 ans, • D’Alain Grandjean, fondateur de Carbone 4 qui apportera son expérience notamment sur les aspects économique et financier. Au programme : Semaine 1 : Notre mode de développement est insoutenable écologiquement Semaine 2 : Les modèles économiques dominants font obstacle à la transition énergétique et écologique Semaine 3 : La trajectoire de la transition énergétique : décarboner le PIB Semaine 4 : Le modèle d'une transition écologique vers une nouvelle prospérité Semaine 5 : La gouvernance de la transition énergétique et écologique Semaine 6 : Le financement de la transition énergétique et écologique

Data Analytics for Lean Six Sigma
Welcome to this course on Data Analytics for Lean Six Sigma. In this course you will learn data analytics techniques that are typically useful within Lean Six Sigma improvement projects. At the end of this course you are able to analyse and interpret data gathered within such a project. You will be able to use Minitab to analyse the data. I will also briefly explain what Lean Six Sigma is. I will emphasize on use of data analytics tools and the interpretation of the outcome. I will use many different examples from actual Lean Six Sigma projects to illustrate all tools. I will not discuss any mathematical background. The setting we chose for our data example is a Lean Six Sigma improvement project. However data analytics tools are very widely applicable. So you will find that you will learn techniques that you can use in a broader setting apart from improvement projects. I hope that you enjoy this course and good luck!
