The Master of Research in Science and Management of Climate Change is a 1-year programme aimed at creating experts capable of managing the complex and multi-faceted dimensions of the grand challenges posed by climate risk by integrating the scientific and socio-economic aspects in a unique programme. It prepares experts with a broad and thorough scientific background in economics, climate science, valuation techniques, and with specific modelling skills.

During this Master you will learn to understand and synthesize the biophysical and socio-economic nature of climate change, evaluate the socio-economic implications of climate change risks, and design innovative policy solutions and risk management strategies. You will acquire familiarity with a suite of methodological, analytical, statistical and modelling tools you will be able to apply in order to:

• Explain the physical and economic nature of climate change and their uncertainty
• Assess the socio-economic impacts of climate change, their costs and benefits
• Estimate and manage climate change risk
• Analyze, evaluate, and design innovative climate policy solutions
• Assess the economic costs and benefits of mitigation and adaptation policies and projects
• Conceive transformational pathways in the context of sustainable development
• Synthesize and communicate the different dimensions of climate change and their uncertainties to different users.
