Climate Adaptation, Resilience and Empowerment

“ I hope to contribute to the CARE Program’s goals of building bridges by connecting Sciences Po to Canadian institutions and eventually bringing the skills I acquired during my degree in France back to Canada. “

“Words cannot express how grateful I am for the CARE Program and the DRG Foundation. The work of the Foundation and the Program is truly incredible and deeply important – in the face of climate change, global cooperation is critical, especially between countries such as France and Canada that have taken innovative and admirable measures towards combating it. I think there is a lot of potential for joint learning and progress through this program, and I am excited to see all of the great work that will be done in the years to come.”

” My experience has been both intellectually stimulating and deeply enriching. The academic environment here has allowed me to delve into topics I’m passionate about, guided by the expertise of outstanding professionals and academics. What makes it even more special is the student body – being surrounded by such motivated and inspiring peers pushes me to constantly challenge myself. The diversity of perspectives and the depth of discourse have broadened my understanding of complex issues, making every day a learning experience in itself.”

“Being a part of this programme is a tremendous honour, affording me the privilege to dedicate the next two years to deepening my understanding of the climate crisis, emerging policy solutions, and global cooperation in a cross-cultural and international context. With a strong commitment to climate action, I am confident that this experience will enable me to make more meaningful and impactful change in my future work.”

“My experience at Sciences Po has been incredibly enriching. I appreciate the interdisciplinary structure of the programme as it allows me to take a variety of courses which offer different perspectives on climate issues. The faculty is exceptional – our teachers are highly intelligent and also draw upon a wealth of real-world experiences from different countries.”

“I absolutely believe that avoiding the worst potential cases of climate change is possible, but only if people are motivated to work towards this future. I think the most important work to be done to combat climate change is in the political arena. One of the biggest barriers to tackling the climate crisis is resisting division and issues relating to the tragedy of the commons. Climate change will impact everyone across the globe in some way and the grave threat it poses requires international cooperation and unity. As young people are those who will be inheriting our planet, the world needs ambitious and passionate young people to lead the international conversation on climate action.”

“Sciences Po provides the opportunity to engage with the highest caliber of study whilst harnessing the powerful diversity of learners and experts from around the world. A strong representation of international students captured my attention, and I was equally drawn to the unique flexibility of the programme structure. The Master’s offers a breadth of courses that range across technical and thematic specialisations, in both French and English. I have greatly appreciated this ability to tailor my studies to my individual interests and experience, benefiting from diversity in all aspects of my education.”
