Master of Science - Climate Change and Sustainable Economic Development

The Paris Agreement states that countries must become Net Zero by 2050, take an account of emission sources from different sectors of the economy and implement actions towards greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. Business activities contribute to GHG emissions and therefore they must undertake necessary risk assessments and implement adaptation actions.

This master’s course builds on their understanding of climate science and policy. Students identify sources of GHG emissions from activities undertaken by businesses and industry, exploring ways to reduce them and mitigate risk. Students also investigate climate change risks for businesses, designing actions for them to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Learn about the set of financial regulations, standards and products that follow a climate change mitigation and adaptation objective, drawing on their own knowledge and experience of climate change impacts.
