Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Climate Change

IGMPI

Climate change is the most defining driver of development changes in society today. To be more precise, it is a strong reminder how unprepared we are as a civilization to develop preventive measures and to mitigate the aftermath of a climate related disaster. To this end, IGMPI is training professionals with a graduate degree to become leaders in the field of climate change. Be it the wildfires in California or floods in Himachal Pradesh, climate change is impacting the day-to-day happenings for every section of society.

The solutions to climate change from the innovation sector are four-fold –

Reducing the demands of energy in buildings, transportation and industry through reduced use of fossil fuels.

Increasing the efficiency of the technology to meet ‘end use’ energy demands, resulting in lower CO2 emissions.

Replace high-carbon fossil fuels such as coal and oil with natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy such as biomass, wind and solar.

Capture and sequester the CO2 emitted by the combustion of fossil fuels to prevent its release to the atmosphere.

The startup sector is currently booming with cleantech innovations that possess tremendous disruptive potential. The unfortunate result is that there does not exist the skilled personal to transition early to late TRLs of these deeptech institutions to early BRLs. To fill this widening gap – this is the agenda of this post graduate/ executive diploma in climate change. The classes at IGMPI are a mix of lectures, interactive case studies and group discussions.
