The Roadmap (CAR/MIC 2030) is a response to the request made of all publicly-funded organisations and institutions, through the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate, ‘to show leadership in climate action.’ Organisations such as MIC, including all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), have been called upon to help realise the State’s target of reducing Ireland’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51%, as well as to support the achievement of energy efficiency in the public sector.
Longer term thinking and new approaches to development and prosperity are urgently required. Persistent and worsening ecological crises present fundamental questions, including the need to think about challenges to prosperity as well as justice and rights issues, reversals of development gains and resulting conflicts. The programme draws on MIC’s established strengths in the Faculty of Arts, combining expertise from across the faculty to deliver a focused Master of Arts programme in Climate, Justice and Sustainability. The Department of Geography has established teaching and research expertise in Sustainability, Just Transitions and Political Ecology. The Department of Philosophy has a growing international reputation in Environmental Ethics, Sustainability Citizenship and Intergenerational Justice. In partnership, these Departments will provide a unique offering which targets a growing and urgent academic need for graduates of technical, theoretical and practical proficiency, equipped with the necessary skills to address our most profound challenges as a global community.
