The current model of socio-economic development has brought drastic ecological consequences, such as the climate crisis and the deterioration of ecosystems, also affecting the economy and society.Hence the urgent need for a ground-breaking change that enables progress towards a socio-ecological transition that respects the environment and society.This transition must be based on a systematic vision that includes new technologies with less of an impact, a greener, circular and collaborative economy, and new structures of governance and social innovation that promote equity and social justice.

The Master in Environmental Change and Socio-Ecological Transition will give you:

• Fundamental knowledge for analysing, diagnosing and managing socio-ecological systems.
• Knowledge for planning and managing the socio-ecological transition that administrations have to adopt and lead.
• Tools for responding to opportunities and problems generated by environmental change and socio-ecological transition.
• Skills for communicating and motivating the population to come to terms with environmental change and socio-ecological transition.

Ultimately, the master aims to train professionals to work in public administrations, consultancies and research centres requiring staff qualified in managing environmental change and socio-ecological transition.Some examples are:

• Specialist responsible for matters of socio-ecological transition, environment and climatic emergency at different levels of administration.
• Officer responsible for the subjects of socio-ecological transition, environment and climatic emergency in companies in various sectors.
• Environmental consultant.
• Manager of protected natural habitats.
• Officer responsible for conducting and monitoring sociological-transition, environment and climate audits.
• Socio-ecological-transition professional in the industrial sector dedicated to environmental issues or environmental-process engineering.
• Researcher at universities, companies or other research centres.
