Objectives

The Master's Degree in Climate, Natural Resources and Risks was created by the University of Cape Verde aiming to increase its potential in knowledge transfer, and is intended to be a program of excellence in terms of quality and mobilization of partners. 

This internationally recognized program is part of the International Center for Climate Research and Applications for the CPLP and Africa (CIICLAA), which includes the following universities: Universidade de Cabo Verde (Uni-CV), Universidade de Aveiro (UA), Instituto Politécnico de Tomar (IPT), Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL), Centro de Nacional de Monitoramento e Alertas de Desastres Naturais (CEMADEN) and Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB).

From a functional point of view, this master's degree program could follow a joint program model, similar to other master's programs that already exist at the Uni-CV and are also available in Portugal and other CIICLAA universities. Thus, it holds the status of an international master's degree program, fulfilling the mission and objectives of the CIICLAA through coordinated pedagogical and scientific cooperation that promotes the sustainability of the member countries and institutions.
