Learning Objectives
Themes
The course is designed to provide a transdisciplinary and integrated preparation that allows the evaluation and the planning of environmental scenarios in the direction of identifying the best mitigation and adaptation strategies to the impact of climate change, as well as for the reduction of vulnerability. The thematic objectives are aimed at providing a preparation that allows assessing anthropogenic impact and changes of a set of environmental systems in relation to the effects of climate change with particular reference to the Mediterranean area.
The scientific basis of the climate change processes is provided through a first preparatory didactic module (8 ECTs) focused on the physic-chemical and environmental aspects, in a broader sense, of the climate system components and dynamics, of their natural variability, and the anthropogenic impact on them.
This first segment will be followed by an ample module dedicated to the techniques of definition and analysis of climate change impacts, and adaptation/mitigation strategies in the main natural and anthropically modified systems and subsystems, as follows:
i) Agriculture and forestry
ii) Cities and the urban environment
iii) Coastal systems and the sea
iv) Human health
v) Local and transnational firm dynamics
Such an approach, which is necessarily multidisciplinary, is aimed at training a professional figure capable of guiding:
A) the planning, the design, and the management of actions taking into consideration an innovative evaluation of the effects of environmental transformations induced by climate change introducing new sustainable economic processes;
B) the planning, design and implementation of environmental recovery interventions;
C) the control and monitoring of ecosystems, the environment and the territory, soil protection;
D) the evaluation of renewable resources
