Designed to meet the career needs of people working in international development and climate change policy and practice, the course will address multiple dimensions: International policy frameworks on climate change; urban climate change governance; adaptation and mitigation choices and pathways; linking climate change mitigation and development; carbon trade, markets and development; climate change and poverty reduction, trade-offs and synergies; local responses to extreme events and disasters; sectoral responses (eg water, energy, food and forests).
Taught by a team of internationally-renowned natural scientists, policy analysts and economists, course material will draw upon existing and ongoing research and applied work through the School of International Development and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. Its interdisciplinary approach ensures students opportunity to collaborate with the School of Environmental Sciences through science-based modules on climate change.

I was impressed by the interdisciplinary nature of teaching – even being ab le to take classes from top climate change experts in the School of Environmental Sciences.” - MSc Climate Change and International Development Graduate
