Overview

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 Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences' Climate Change Management focuses on solution-building for climate change mitigation and adaptation at farm to landscape level.

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. We are convinced that the Master's degree programme in Climate Change Management will offer a very relevant and timely interdisciplinary extension to more subject-focused BSc degrees. This concept should give MCC graduates a competitive advantage regarding future career options
