Master of Climate Change Adaptation by Research

Climate change is increasingly seen as a major threat to the physical and biological health of the planet with long terms hazards and implications for many communities. This program looks deeply at the social, cultural, political and economic impact of climate change.

It focuses on people who live in areas where climatic conditions threaten water and food security, public health, public amenities, quality of life and living conditions. Through your research, develop an appreciation of international and national obligations and trends in the assessment and management of climate change.

Discover from this how to effectively examine complex agricultural, industrial, infrastructure and urban development proposals, using statutory and best practice processes, to meet the predicted impacts of climate change.
