Code: IE10067

Credits

3 op

Objective

You master phenomena related to climate change and you understand the possibilities of system thinking on tackling climate change. You are able to evaluate climate effects of different actors and activities and you will receive tools for future foresight. You know the basics of the calculation of greenhouse gas emission and you are able to develop and innovate actions on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. You recognise the importance of sustainable development and corporate and social responsibility in climate change mitigation.
