Overview

The UPEI Bachelor of Science in Applied Climate Change and Adaptation 该课程为学生提供气候科学的坚实基础,辅以气候相关政策和气候变化的文化影响课程. 该学位提供强大的综合理论基础课程和高水平的体验和应用学习. 课程旨在培养全面发展的学生,他们具有高水平的气候变化科学知识,并具有利用气候变化相关技术所需的高度相关技能. 应用气候变化和适应科学学士课程的教师教学重点是在基于队列的学习社区中提供高质量的指导和1xbet网页版. 该课程的毕业生将为从事各种与气候变化相关的职业做好准备, professional studies, or graduate education.

该研究项目考察了“气候变化适应”,指的是社会或生态系统为限制气候变化的负面影响或利用气候变化提供的机会而做出的调整. 从农民种植更耐旱的作物,到沿海社区评估如何最好地保护其基础设施不受海平面上升的影响,这些都可以适应. Climate change is already impacting societies and ecosystems around the world, 随着全球气温持续上升,许多影响预计会增加. 同时,减少温室气体排放是避免气候变化最严重影响的必要条件, a certain amount of global warming is inevitable, due to the long-lasting nature of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere, and to heat already stored in the oceans. Adapting to the changes that are already underway, and preparing for future climate change, can help reduce the risks societies will face from climate change.

Years 1 and 2 该计划的一部分将在位于夏洛特敦的UPEI校园进行.

Years 3 and 4 该项目的主要内容将在加拿大气候变化和适应中心进行. Peter’s, PEI.
