11 – 29 June 2018 — All over the world, cities are increasingly expected to undertake concrete actions to adapt to natural disasters and climate hazards (such as sea level rise, floods, and droughts) exacerbated by climate change and climate variability. On the other hand, they also need to plan and implement low emissions development strategies supporting national plans and contributing to climate change mitigation while generating other multiple local benefits. What concrete activities should cities undertake? What kind of tools can urban professionals and municipality officials use in order to make decisions about their course of actions, develop, and implement local climate change action plans?
The Urban Management Tools for Climate Change course (UMTCC) offers the opportunity to national and local urban policy makers, municipality officials, planners, and lecturers in the field of climate and environmental management to gain knowledge of cities vulnerability and its linkages with other human factors exacerbating climate stresses, such as land use management and spatial planning decisions. The course showcases varied examples of cities’ strategies to adapt and mitigate climate change, through lectures and discussions, gaming, analysis of data inventories, and group exercises built on decision-making and climate change action planning.
