Climate Change Courses
The University of Kassel and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany, with support from the Global Climate-Change Impact Studies Centre (GCISC) have launched six interdisciplinary climate change related courses for various bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Pakistan. This initiative is part of the project ‘Mainstreaming Climate Change into Higher Education and Research in Pakistan’, which aims to support Pakistani higher education institutions in integrating climate change into their curricula. This project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The course contents are accessible via the links provided below. Additionally, the Climate Change Catalogue provides a basic orientation to the courses, including a comprehensive outline highlighting the topics covered in each course, course learning outcomes and relevance of the course to Pakistan’s existing education landscape on climate change.
