MSc (Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security)

COP23 Side Event

The new MSc in Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) provides students with the skills and tools for developing agricultural practices, policies and measures to address the challenge that global warming poses for agriculture and food security worldwide.

This program is aimed at students who want to combine scientific, engineering, technical, social, or policy skills so that they are better equipped to understand and make significant contributions regarding the adaptation and mitigation of climate change impacts on global agriculture and food security.

IFPRI will deliver two recorded lectures, on a) climate change, gender, and nutrition (Elizabeth Bryan) and b) climate change and gender (Claudia Ringler) under the Gender, Agriculture & Climate Justice Module of the program and participate in live Q&A with students.
