The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s “Climate Change and Diversity: Sustainable Territorial Development” (CCD-STeDe) is rooted in the actions implemented since 2019 as the evolution of the International Joint Master Degree previously named Sustainable Territorial Development (STeDe), created under the Erasmus Mundus Programme and ran for 8 intakes (2010-2014 | 2016 – 2020). STeDe was previously developed and implemented by 4 Universities: Università degli Studi di Padova, Italy – UniPD; Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium – KU Leuven; Université Paris 1- Panthéon Sorbonne, France – Paris 1; Universidade Catòlica Dom Bosco, Brazil – UCDB.
