Master of Arts in Climate Action Leadership

Program Overview

You feel, as we do, that the climate emergency is the most pressing challenge facing our world. And you know that solving this problem calls for strong leadership. You want to step up to lead change, through the social, political, cultural and economic responses that point to a low-carbon, socially just and climate-resilient future. And you want to align your educational journey with a meaningful career path.

The Master of Arts in Climate Action Leadership gives you the tools to integrate climate action in your existing work or launch into a new profession. Join an international movement of climate action leaders working to change the climate story from a tale of disaster to one of transformation.

From science to action
There's widespread demand for change leadership across sectors. You'll become able to translate climate science into action to reduce vulnerability, risks and impacts, and create new opportunities for an adaptive, low carbon future. You'll develop the knowledge and skills to envision, design and mobilize new solutions to emerging climate challenges.

Through this two-year transdisciplinary program, you'll develop competencies that provide a foundation for navigating, designing and leading climate action.

Real-world solutions
The program uses a learner-centred, open learning curriculum that challenges you to reach beyond the walls of the classroom to respond to real-world problems and generate real-world solutions.

You’ll start to shift the underlying behaviour, beliefs and systemic issues that continue to fuel the climate crisis. And you’ll discover how, by reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience in communities, systems and organizations, we can build a sustainable future together.

The unique, flexible design allows you options that support your professional and personal learning goals. By sharing your learning in blogs and other open resources, you’ll rapidly become a thought leader in your field, influencing change before you even graduate.

Program Outcomes
Once you have completed this program, you'll have skills in climate communication, climate risk management, building a business case for climate action, design thinking, and change management to work in sectors focused on the environment and community development.
You'll also develop your learning in the following areas:

  • climate adaptation and resilience literacy
  • critical, creative and transdisciplinary thinking
  • research literacy
  • adaptive leadership and decision making
  • communication and knowledge mobilization
  • change making orientation and implementation
