Modules

Climate Change and Development (30 Credits) - Core
The module pays attention to issues in both ?developed? and ?emerging? economies as well as in poor developing economies. Those concerned about climate change and development in poorer economies need to understand more about ?northern? issues. This is because the mitigation and adaptation policies in the north affect poor people in the south in terms of more ?direct? impacts on global emissions (in the case of mitigation policies) but also, and very importantly, in terms of their 'indirect' impacts on market and other livelihood/economic opportunities and constraints affecting individuals, communities, and national and regional economies.
