This programme critically examines the theory, recent trends, and developments related to urban climate change adaptation and their links to sustainable atmosphere, land, and water management.

Climate-neutral and resilient cities are essential prerequisites for tackling the growing threat and impacts of climate change. True climate resilience requires systemic, nexus thinking around the key natural resources of land, water, and the atmosphere.

The Urban Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change: Integrated Management of Land, Water and Atmosphere programme is a master track will examine different conceptual, theoretical, and practical approaches to leading sustainable urban transformation and managing climate-neutral and resilient cities worldwide. It equips students with the knowledge and skills to critically evaluate and pursue urban resilience about the universal challenge of sustainable development and the reality of climate change. Next to environmental resilience and climate mitigation, the programme's primary focus, the track will examine critical social, economic and governance dimensions of climate-neutral and resilient cities.

Besides developing management and governance expertise, the track allows students to gain skills in geographical information systems (GIS), computer-based analysis tools and strategic planning methodology.
