Climate Change, Adaptation and Mitigation |
The module is designed to provide a deep understanding of atmospheric processes and phenomena and the resultant weather and climatic patterns. The study of the causes and impacts of climate change and the measures required to mitigate the impacts and adapt is complex. This module aims at understanding the fundamentals of the causes, impacts and management measures involved in dealing with climate change. In addition, introduces students to mitigation and adaptation measures that are being adopted across the globe. |

The Geographies of Agriculture for Industrial Development |
The module looks at how green or sustainable technologies can protect the environment and in some cases, even to repair past damage to the environment and thereby steer agriculture along a more sustainable path. Examples of such technologies include conservation tillage, integrated pest management, enhanced nutrient management, and precision agriculture. It then identifies the barriers to adopting these technologies and how they have been come in selected developed and developing countries. |
