The postgraduate degree course Sviluppo Sostenibile e Cambiamento Climatico is inspired by the goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda and offers a multidisciplinary training that combines the analysis, design, management and monitoring of scientific, socio-economic and environmental aspects related to the Sustainable Development Goals (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs), all within an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework.
The course prepares professionals capable of independently understanding and managing the complexities of sustainable development, with a particular focus on the social, environmental, economic, and cultural impacts that contribute to the uncertainties surrounding climate change.
Students receive multidisciplinary training in the analysis, design and management of eco-sustainable initiatives. The course develops a teaching project that blends theory and practice, aiming to promote the dissemination of concrete, sustainability-oriented management methods, especially in relation to the Sustainability Report.
The course is enriched by numerous contributions from professionals and institutions (“lay teaching”), as well as traineeship and project work opportunities within companies.
