Consequently, the future of our planet and humankind is being threatened by the deterioration of natural and social environments. Global warming, which leads to social and environmental problems, is an imminent issue that needs to be addressed. The world today requires climate change experts who posess not only scientific knowledge on the mechanisms behind climate change and global warming, but also a socioeconomic mindset and international bargaining skills. The climate change cross major was established to train global experts equipped with scientific knowledge, socioeconomic knowledge and international bargaining skills relating to the field of climate change and global warming.

The climate change department aims to foster global experts who possess scientific knowledge, socieoeconomic knowledge and international bargaining skills to overcome climate change and global warming.
