Course Overview

Climate change is one of the defining challenges of the 21st century, with profound implications for ecosystems, economies, and societies. Understanding the geoscientific foundations of climate change is critical for developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. This course examines atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial processes, explores climate modeling techniques, and links geoscientific insights to global sustainability agendas.

Delivered by EuroQuest International Training, the ten-day program combines scientific knowledge with strategic foresight. It emphasizes the integration of geoscience into policy, risk management, and sustainable development planning. Participants will also explore cross-sectoral impacts such as water security, energy transition, and climate-related disasters.
