Climate Security Graduate Certificate
The Climate Security Graduate Certificate provides students with the education and expertise required to understand and better navigate the numerous concerns surrounding climate-related challenges in the realm of security and disaster management. With significant shifts in global climate, new concerns in human, national and international security are emerging, creating challenges for resilience and governance. Understanding how prior climate disaster knowledge can be combined with an understanding of future models, scenarios and planning tools will be needed to navigate the unforeseen consequences and the impacts on populations. A climate security graduate certificate represents an endorsement of advanced academic education and a more robust understanding of climate-related security and resilience concerns and planning considerations.
