The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of alternative climate pathways, to use data and tools to define probable climate futures (with a focus on the UK over the 21st century), and to rehearse strategies for communicating future change.

The aim of this research-led module is to understand how the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relate to each other and to model their interactions, with a special focus on the quantitative analysis of Climate, Land, Energy, and Water systems (CLEWs). Students will work with the CLEWs modelling framework, developed as part of the Climate Compatible Growth programme within STEER – the Loughborough Centre for Sustainable Transitions: Energy, Environment and Resilience.

This module aims to provide students with knowledge of a range of issues drawn from contemporary international politics that are discussed in multilateral fora. It develops a problem-solving approach and impresses upon students the policy relevance of the discipline of International Politics. This module encourages students to explore a central characteristic of international life through introductory lectures into selected contemporary issues and practice relevant workshops. This is done through the development of conceptual knowledge, and the application of skills of analysis.

The central aims of this module are to:

• Develop a diversity of perspectives to examine the contemporary financial system.
• Critically consider the relations between the global financial system and climate change.

The aim of this research-led module is to understand policy options and their economic impacts on sustainable development, with a focus on greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and adaptation in the energy sector. Students will gain hands-on experience with OSeMOSYS, a powerful open-source energy modelling tool, developed as part of the Climate Compatible Growth programme within STEER – the Loughborough Centre for Sustainable Transitions: Energy, Environment and Resilience.

The module will enable students to develop a critical understanding of the processes and mechanisms available to governments to respond and manage crisis at different levels. The module will introduce students to the key theories, concepts and applications of the emerging field of crisis management. It has been designed to foster students' capacity to critically analyse and apply this knowledge to a diverse range empirical cases and sites.

The principal aim of this module is to produce an original, critical piece of research specific to the programme on which a student is registered. An original analysis of data is expected, which may use primary data or secondary data or a combination of the two. With appropriate contextualisation in the relevant literature, progressive research methodologies and skills in data analysis, interpretation and writing-up.
