COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course explores how we can design, create and achieve climate neutral cities. We embrace the “mission to the moon” approach for tackling greenhouse emissions from cities putting an emphasis on pathways and opportunities. We utilise insights and inspiration from Sweden, Europe and around the world. 

We target how to support individuals and organisations in developing transformative skills and capacities for action on climate neutral cities. We focus on mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions but also connect to adaptation, resilience, social justice and sustainable development in the context of cities, climate and change.

The course is designed around 5 interconnected modules. We therefore created a format that provides a diversity of ways to learn and creatively engage with the content.

Module 1: Visions and Plans. In this week we begin with looking at visions for climate action and the plans or strategies on how to achieve ambitious goals.
Module 2: Data and Tools. In this week we explore tools for climate action and creating both immediate and long-lasting impacts.
Module 3: Finance and Partnerships. In this week we tackle the key challenge of financing climate action and the vital role of partnerships.
Module 4: Engagement and Action. In this week we delve into community and citizen engagement and how it underpins climate action.
Module 5: Research and Innovation. In this week we connect climate action to research, evaluation and innovation.
 

This course will be launched on Oct 25, 2023.
