Abstract
In spite of the skepticism from a portion of society, there is a scientific consensus on the short-term effects that human action has on climate. However, to tackle the ongoing climatic crisis we need that the new generations become conscious of all the social effects that will be associated to the abundance of extreme climate events. For that reason, a group of professors of the Complutense University in Madrid from a variety of faculties (from Arts and Science) have applied for an Erasmus+ project (KA2-Strategic Associations) with the objective of developing a multidisciplinary subject on climate change that will cover not only the scientific aspects, but also the social and ethical part of the problem. Furthermore, we have included other Universities and Organisms from the Mediterranean realm, such as the Polytechnic Institute from Bragança (Portugal), the Basilicata University (Italy), the Akdeniz University (Turkey), and the Industrial and Business Education and Training Ins- titute (IVEPE-SEV, Greece), because according to the estimations, the Mediterranean arch will be one of the most affected places in Europe by climate change.
