The specialisation course in "Geopolitica della Transizione Energetica" aims at providing participants with the analytical tools to understand the political and economic dynamics of energy and environmental development. Furthermore, during the course, the geopolitics aspects and regional impacts of the global energy transition will also be analysed. The course integrates the theoretical and analytical tools of International Relations with the critical sensitivity of studies of the sector.

In a critical year for climate diplomacy and action, 2021 presents an opportunity to kick-start a green and inclusive economic recovery and to support low-carbon development models across the world.
