GE90341: Climate Change and Environmental Policies

The module GE90142: Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability provides students with a comprehensive understanding of climate change concepts, including its causes, impacts, and linkages to environmental degradation. It explores key issues such as adaptation and mitigation strategies, climate justice and equity, climate and environmental finance, as well as international protocols and conventions guiding global climate action.

The module also introduces students to basic climate modelling approaches used to analyse and project environmental changes. Through practical work, students assess Rwanda’s climate commitments, analyse the impacts of climate change, conduct statistical analysis of climatic data, and develop projections of future climate scenarios to support evidence-based mitigation and adaptation planning.
