Delivered by the Natural Resources Institute, this new climate change degree will help you find solutions to urgent global issues.

Climate change, together with food security and inequality, is a top concern for many around the world, especially young people involved in movements such as the school climate strikes. As climate science is reported more in the media, 'climate literacy' is becoming ever more important too.

This cutting-edge degree in climate change offers the skills to assess the impact of our changing climate, to develop solutions to mitigate emissions and adapt to a changing world. Study a diverse range of subjects, from land use, water use and energy management to topics in the social sciences and economics, such as law, equity and trade. You'll learn in detail about the interactions between the atmosphere, the biosphere and the economy that underpin the current mitigation gap and emerging adaptation challenges.

Graduates will be well-suited to careers in local and national government organisations and NGOs. You'll also gain the practical skills to enhance your career opportunities in areas such as carbon accounting, risk assessment and geographic information systems (GIS).

As climate response is an emerging area, there are an array of potential careers across different sectors, including local and national government organisations and NGOs. Many organisations are making steps (and have made declarations) to measure and reduce the impact of their activities.

Supporting climate adaptation involves all sectors of the economy, from policy development and review to engineering and agricultural planning. This climate change course provides skills for careers in a variety of fields. It will position graduates to be flexible in new roles as they become increasingly in demand in our changing climate.
