About the course
Aim
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe and discuss key concepts in urban climate transition theories such as adaptability, transformative change/measures and integration of climate and environmental policy
- apply methods to analyse and discuss different types of urban needs for emissons reduction and climate adaptation
- compare and critically examine urban strategic planning for climate transistions (needs, governance and actions) from a transitions perspective
- analyse prinicples and measures to reduce urban climate impact and climate risks
Content
The course introduces theories and methods for converting to fossil-free and climate-robust cities and regions, as well as how climate transitions are expressed in strategic planning.Theories about transitions, adaptability, mainstreaming and collaboration are highlighted. During the course, three parts of strategic planning and management are discussed: needs analysis, objectives and principles for urban climate governance, as well as measures and solutions. The course will be highlight:
- various methods for needs analysis, including climate and vulnerability analyis and carbon dioxide budgets:
- objectives and principles for monitoring climate work;
- different types of action plans such as green structure plans, climate and energy strategies, adaptation and cloudburst mangement plans: and
- physical, ecosystem-based and organisational measures and cooperation.
- Methods and strategic planning are applied to different tyeps of cities including mega-cities, rural municipalities or medium-sized municipal/regional centres.
