This course introduces climate change as an integral part of sustainability, its impacts and main strategies for mitigation and adaptation. It offers specific practices to manage urban design and environmental infrastructure, in particular energy, transport, housing and water. The course addresses: vulnerability assessment (week 1), mitigation strategies (week 2) adaptation strategies (week 3), and local climate change plans (week 4). By the end of the course, participants are expected to be able to prepare local climate change plans, which address the global challenges yet focus on concrete local actions.
