The acute challenges of climate change, “natural” disasters, pollution, access to water and energy, and the maintenance of biodiversity are driving many European cities to rethink the design and implementation of public policies and corporate strategies.
The Governing Ecological Transitions in European Cities Master’s programme prepares students to manage current and future transitions through advanced training in both urban environmental challenges and urban governance.
To this end, students learn to:
- understand cities as socio-ecological systems: metabolisms, non-human actors, natural systems and their multiple interactions with urban policies
- identify the historical legacies of cities’ environmental issues as well as current developments, with a particular focus on the specificities of European cities
- analyse the environmental and climate policies of European cities at different scales, and manage sustainable resource use and climate action
- interact with the wide range of public and private actors involved in urban environmental policy, and with the various forms of environmental assessment and expertise
- manage a project; implement a collective initiative, public policy, or corporate strategy
- identify and promote innovation and upscaling in the field of ecological transition.
