Leadership in Climate Change and Sustainability (Taught)

Climate change is the defining crisis of our time and requires an agile and globally collaborative response. Now is the time for bold collective action.

On our Leadership in Climate Change and Sustainability MSc programme you will gain a deep insight into climate change's impact on the planet and on human societies and develop the professional skills needed to influence and lead on sustainable climate action.

You will explore sustainable approaches to tackle climate change and other negative human impacts on the planet.

The programme has 3 distinct themes:

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and Newcastle University's own commitment to Net Zero and Climate Action Plan, the programme offers learners the opportunity to study global solutions, enhance personal growth, and refine leadership skills.
