Máster Universitario en Formación Continua en Xestión de Riscos de Desastres e Gobernanza Climática + 60 Créditos ECTS

Este Máster está deseñado para dotar aos profesionais de diferentes disciplinas dos coñecementos e competencias necesarios para a investigación aplicada, e para a xestión de medios e ferramentas que se poidan empregar nos ámbitos da Xestión do Risco de Desastres e da gobernanza climática. Segundo o Panel Intergobernamental de Cambio Climático (IPCC), a gobernanza climática está relacionada con mecanismos e medidas voluntarias destinadas a dirixir os sistemas sociais cara á prevención, mitigación ou adaptación aos riscos provocados polo cambio climático (Jagers e Steripple, glosario do IPCC).

This program’s objective is to equip the students with the knowledge and skills to: - Understand Disaster Risk Management as a continuous process built upon social, cultural, economic and institutional circumstances, and that operates in contexts of constant hazard, climate variability and climate change. - Identify and analyze the actions and measures required for prospective and corrective risk management. - Understand disaster risk finance management, climate finances and post-disaster recovery processes after a disaster. - Understand the role and operations of technological and information tools relevant to risk management, climate variability and climate change. - Understand the climate change context and its relationship with Disaster Risk Management. - Analyze the global climate governance challenges, the key players and the required mechanisms and measures to address such challenges. - Understand the different adaptive climate governance tools and measures applied by territorial, sectorial, institutional, public, private and communal agencies. - Encourage the creation of knowledge to promote research and the development of risk management and climate governance approaches

At the end of the program, the students of this program will have the necessary knowledge and skills to: • Conduct research with Disaster Risk Management and climate governance tools and assets. • Prepare, implement, and evaluate Disaster Risk Management and climate governance technical studies, diagnosis, projects, programs and measures. • Formulate disaster risk mitigation and adaptation strategies • Provide consultancy consulting services • Become a specialized educator or public official.

Therefore, acquiring knowledge and skills in this subject is highly relevant in a world more and more exposed to climate-related phenomena

The main groups of interest include engineers, architects, experts on Earth science, economic science, social science, environmental science, ecologists, sociologists, biologists, hydrologists, educators, geographers and other professionals interested in developing their competences in risk management and climate governance.
