This module aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the complex interrelationships between humanitarian action, development strategies, and climate policies. It emphasizes the importance of integrated approaches to address the multidimensional challenges posed by climate change, conflicts, and development needs.

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 module is to critically examine the evolving roles and structures of global peacekeeping, security, humanitarian aid, and development. Students will explore contemporary challenges, theoretical frameworks, and policy orientations that shape the international response to conflicts and crises.

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 aim of this module is to develop an understanding of the critical concepts and practical challenges related to providing sustainable energy in humanitarian settings, with a particular focus on United Nations frameworks and UNITAR's initiatives.

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.

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of co-creation and co-management approaches for inclusive project planning and implementation. The focus will be on integrating knowledge systems in the context of the triple nexus (humanitarian-development-peace).

The aims of this module are to consolidate students' experiences of undertaking research in both the social science and humanities traditions and to equip them with the appropriate intellectual and practical methodological, writing and reflexive skills to successfully undertake an independent and original piece of critical research on an issue of relevance to their programme.

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 contextualization in the relevant literature, progressive research methodologies and skills in data analysis, interpretation and writing-up.
