Environment and Resource Management - Energy and Climate Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Overview

Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today. Be it climate change mitigation, job creation, security, food production or increasing incomes. Investing in renewable energy resources, prioritising energy-efficient practices and adopting clean energy technologies and infrastructure can accelerate the transition to an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system. 

In the Environment and Resource Management - Energy and Climate programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will address the multiple dimensions of the climate-energy nexus from socio-economic and governance perspectives. The specialisation provides expertise to scientifically assess the transition to sustainable energy systems and to critically evaluate the range of policy options to accelerate this transition. Attention is also paid to regional, national, international and transnational efforts to mitigate climate change.
