Just as important, this concentration prepares professionals to explore and shape business opportunities to make a purposeful and strategic contributions to solving one of the most pressing issues facing business and society.
Climate Risk and Infrastructure Resiliency (Engineering)
The overall purpose of this specialization is to introduce engineers to methods to conduct climate risk assessments for infrastructure and building design.
The courses in this area cover (i) basic concepts in climate change and climate hazard, (ii) methods for conducting climate and extreme weather risk assessments, and (iii) a project to implement and learn these tools, develop an understanding of uncertainty, and communicating climate risk assessments to various groups.
Climate Risk and Financial Modeling (Science)
This area of specialization addresses sustainability and the environment through the understanding of environmental systems using integrated scientific knowledge.
Learners will be able to critically assess complex environmental systems that are constantly evolving and subject to the influence of climate change. Natural hazards and sustainable exploration are key components of this interdisciplinary graduate diploma. In addition, learners will build on their ability to define and describe scientific information including Environmetrics, financial management, and quantitative modeling of climate risks and natural disasters to tackle critical environmental and sustainability challenges facing our evolving planet.
Climate Change and Governance (Social Science)
Climate risk governance occurs at multiple levels of government and includes private sector and civil society organizations.
Acute impacts of climate change and severe weather will be particularly intense in urban environments placing municipalities in a pivotal role for adaptation strategies. Municipal governments can be central agents of positive change for both carbon reduction and justice
