UN Climate Change Works with Universities to Foster Resilience

An opportunity for graduate students to work closely with local, national and regional partners to undertake a research project as a part of producing their master's thesis

UN Climate Change has launched a new initiative to scale up actions to adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change, which include increased and more severe droughts, floods and storms.
