Land Use, Climate Change and Development
School of International Development, University of East Anglia (DEV)
Climate change and land use are closely related: biosphere carbon represents a significant proportion of total GHG emissions, and land use plays a major role in sequestration, thereby mitigating climate change. Whilst land use change, from forests to agriculture and pasture, has thus been a major contributor to GHG emissions, it has played an important role in improving food society and contributing to economic development. In the face of an urgent need to both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve societal resilience to climate change, how can land use be best governed? The area is rapidly evolving, and becoming ever more complex. On this course you’ll be given an introduction to the key issues and sources, to allow you to be more effective in professional engagement with the challenges.School of International Development, University of East Anglia (DEV), United Kingdom
BSc International Development and the Environment With Overseas Placement
You’ll be on one of very few courses in the UK that integrates social and natural science, whilst taking a broad interdisciplinary approach to the study of development issues.

Climate Change and Development, 30.03. – 03.04.2020
ETH Zürich, Centre for Development and Cooperation (NADEL)
The world’s climate is rapidly changing due to global warming, and will continue to do so for decades and centuries ahead. Changing climate has an impact on all regions around the world, but poor people in developing countries are most severely affected. Consequently, climate change has taken a lead position on the international development agenda. This course aims to equip participants with a better understanding of the interlinkages between climate change and development, and enable them to integrate climate change considerations into the planning and implementation of development projects.ETH Zürich, Centre for Development and Cooperation (NADEL), Switzerland
