Climate Change Management (MCC)

Climate change poses a major threat to all aspects of life on Earth: nature and humans are under pressure. Findings regarding this phenomenon are alarming and indisputable, and facets of it are present everywhere. While the knowledge base about the dimension and dynamics of climate change is constantly growing and the reasons and driving forces are generally well understood, the management of climate change is a complex challenge. Interdisciplinary skills are necessary in order to develop mitigation and adaptation strategies in the realm of land-use and nature management. The MCC programme focuses on building solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation at the farm-to-landscape level. Possible professional fields for our graduates include: public authorities or consulting companies working on topics like climate impacts, climate reports, adaptation strategies, etc., at every planning level forest owners and authorities in need of adapting forests to future climate change scenarios the agricultural sector, including agricultural schools, consulting, administration, company operations, and development towards a climate-smart agriculture applied research at universities and (federal) research agencies international consulting firms, institutions, and programmes Climate change is the biggest future challenge at global as well as regional levels. Therefore, experts who are capable of covering all aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation for specific sectors of society are urgently needed.
