Africa is not an exception, considering the actual and potential impacts of climate change and climate variability that will threaten its vulnerable sectors and human populations. African countries are projected to experience changing rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and higher temperatures that will affect food security, agricultural production, water availability, and public health, among others. These climate change impacts and climate variability can further produce social and political problems, such as rural-urban migration and water resource disputes. Furthermore, the low levels of development in many African countries, as well as limited institutional, infrastructural, and technical capacities to respond successfully to climate change impacts and climate variability, can exacerbate the situation. In terms of contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, although African countries are the lightest polluters, it has also become apparent that alternative energy sources can offset the increasing energy demand and dependence on biomass. Addressing climate change offers possibilities for low-carbon development. Moreover, there are promising mechanisms that can address both climate change actions and development goals simultaneously. At the city level, strengthening resilience, or the ability to respond to and absorb the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner and to sustain this ability in the future, and adaptation; the process of adjusting to actual or expected climate change stimuli or their effects, should be at the forefront of planning. Local governments have an important role to play through the provision of adequate infrastructure, regulation of land use, and other public services that are crucial for urban resilience. Mobilizing local governments, in collaboration with national governments, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations, among others, is also critical for an integrated multi-sectoral approach to climate change. The Course on Planning for Climate Change in African Cities provides the foundation for understanding cities’ exposure and sensitivity to climate change, and how cities can manage these impacts in the face of growing uncertainty. It does so by introducing the basic concepts of urban resilience and adaptation, by using illustrative case studies in different African cities. Furthermore, this module provides lectures on the different approaches for climate change planning, whether ad hoc, strategic or mainstreaming; introduces the different steps in the planning cycle – from initial assessment to monitoring and evaluation; and presents the different decision support and assessment tools for prioritizing climate change actions. This course broadens the discussion on planning for climate change by engaging learners to apply their knowledge and practice their decision-making skills in a simulated exercise.

Description follows:
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing us this century. Cities around the world have begun taking action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, identify their climate risks, and build resilience to the coming changes. Solutions can also achieve goals for jobs, public health, justice and a vibrant shared life. In this course we will explore the challenges of a changing climate and investigate frameworks and tools to understand and address climate issues that impact people and their communities. We use the UMass campus as our laboratory ‘city’ for applying knowledge and advancing the campus toward climate goals. By the end of the course students will feel knowledgeable and empowered to advocate for better decisions at a local, regional, national or international scale.

Yet, as the longstanding environmental stability of urban regions is altered through climate change, the structure and management of the contemporary city must adapt to these changing conditions if it is to persist in a warming world. To this end, this course explores the fundamental challenges to the city posed by climate change and the range of policy and design-based responses available to anticipate and respond to these challenges. The objectives of the course are to understand the physical mechanisms through which climate change is modifying urban environments and, in turn, how cities amplify these changes; to consider the range of current and proposed policy strategies to manage climate change in cities; and to examine and develop design-based tools for climate change adaptation at the urban scale. In the first component of the course, the physical drivers of climate change at the global and regional scales will be presented to provide students with a theoretical basis for the development of climate management policies and strategies. Particular emphasis will be placed on the present state of the consensus science, observed climate trends, and on tools employed in climate modeling. The second component of the course will examine international to local policy responses to climate change, with an emphasis on local scale hazard mitigation and post-disaster recovery planning. The concluding course component will entail a case analysis of climate management in post-Katrina New Orleans, explore emerging climate adaptation strategies, and provide students with the opportunity to develop climate change adaptation plans for New Orleans neighborhoods.

21 月, 11/04/2019 - 22:31 UNI and P4CA - Course manual repository vidarv English (不明) Planning for Climate Change Elisabeth Hamin Infield emhamin@umass.edu Adaptation, Climate Resilience, Mitigation This is a graduate level class offered at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Course goals are as follows: This seminar explores resiliency planning for communities, particularly in the relationship among climate change, built form and infrastructure. What design and regulatory changes are needed to help communities become more resilient to extreme events and climate change while reducing greenhouse gases? How should communities choose between traditional built infrastructure and green infrastructure? What are the equity implications of these choices – who wins, who loses, who pays, who benefits? The class uses active, community-engaged, team based learning. We will prepare a draft resiliency plan for a community each year; in this case, it is the UMass Campus. The plan will take a regional approach to identify potential policies and plans with a particular focus on environmental justice. The process will allow us to develop new frameworks to connect regional spatial form, changing climate, infrastructure, and governance. Key seminar learning goals include:
• Refresh and build basic knowledge of climate change science and policy;
• Develop awareness of both adaptation (adjusting to future climate) and mitigation (reducing greenhouse gasses) in an urban context;
• Apply an ethical lens to issues, attending to the distribution of costs and benefits of action and inaction and the integration of equity and vulnerability in analysis;
• Gain familiarity with planning issues in a developing country context;
• Develop research skills through analysis of a community plan and preparation of a research poster;
• Practice applying critical thinking skills to plans for adaptation/mitigation.		 City Global (more than one region) English Arabic Post-graduate 2018 はい
22 月, 11/04/2019 - 22:31 UNI and P4CA - Course manual repository vidarv English (不明) Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Measures Mario R Delos Reyes mrdelosreyes@up.edu.ph Adaptation, Mitigation The theme for this course is on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Measures. The problem on rising temperature due to greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere is a global concern that requires solutions at various stages and scales of development. Urban and regional planners need to fully understand the phenomenon and drivers of climate change, and its implications on development planning and management at varying scales. The approach and methods for development planning has to take into account the drivers and impacts of climate changes as these would greatly shape and influence the use and management of natural and built resources to serve as effective engines for growth. Climate change impacts are wide ranging and pose greater constraints to development initiatives. In response, two (2) strategic directions are espoused worldwide, including the Philippines: mitigation and adaptation. Although complementary, adaptation is emerging as a central component of climate policy – advocating for further understanding of the nature of climate impacts and the vulnerability of systems; and embedding these in decision-making processes. This course is designed to examine the theoretical and conceptual evolution of climate policies, imperatives for mitigation and adaptation, perspectives on vulnerability, approaches to vulnerability assessments, mainstreaming climate change concerns in development processes and challenges to climate policy responses. The course will also elaborate how vulnerability research can provide a benchmark for developing and integrating adaptation in development practices. Examples from multiple regions and sectors will be drawn upon to highlight key approaches and developments. Global Global (more than one region) English English Post-graduate 2018 はい

This course explores planning for resilience from a range of perspective, including city managers, transportation and land use planners, utilities engineers, emergency management and sustainability managers, landscape architects, environmental scientists, port authority managers, and elected officials. All these perspectives contribute to, and reflect the governance of a community, and ultimately influence the it’s capacity for resilience. Case studies from across North America will highlight a variety of environmental stressors (including sea level rise, coastal instability, overland flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes) and demonstrate lessons learned and best practices with respect to planning techniques and approaches from a range of communities, from remote towns in the Arctic to population-dense urban centres in British Columbia’s lower mainland, to vibrant port towns in the Maritimes. Note, while the course will explore a range on environmental stressors, a majority of time will be dedicated to climate change. The objective of the course is to provide students with an opportunity to explore some of the practical and nuanced characteristics of environmental resilience as it relates to city and regional planning. This includes an appreciation of the variety of environmental impacts that stress communities, as well as the decision-dynamics behind the policies and planning actions communities take (or should take) to improve their resilience. This includes discussing barriers and challenges to gaining buy-in for action, tools, instruments and best practices for facilitating action, as well as some of the dynamics of working with different levels of government and key stakeholders.

The increase in green house gasses has impacted the climate in many regions in the world. While some places might get hotter and other colder, it is clear that weather events are becoming more extreme in a lot of cities around the world. Two concrete examples are that there will be more events of extreme rainfall and more periods of extreme temperatures and drought. This leads to the paradoxical situation that cities need to prepare for an excess of water as well as a lack thereof. Combined with a situation in democratic societies where increasingly a variety of stakeholders have influence in the governance process and there is a lot of uncertainty, these challenges require strategic planning in order to adequately adept to these challenges. This will be the focus of this course. The course will use 3D planning software engine Tygron to have students experience the process of strategic planning around climate proof urban development and have them develop creative solutions for cases within the Municipality of Amsterdam. Students will be asked to reflect on the process using the literature and classes they have gotten in the course. They will be working within a reflexive backcasting approach to strategic planning.

Egypt is already considered below water poverty level like other different sectors and countries, which could indicate that the next global conflict could be because of water, so understanding the global issues related to water efficiency and negotiations has become a must. Therefore, we need a student who must be aware of effective water resources, water efficiency, and water management and negotiations. The suggested module is a level 6 final year course that addresses the water resources and ways to better negotiations and management for water sustainability. It is an undergraduate elective course, designed for students who want to combine social and political management with engineering. The students should have a background of the water crisis in the middle east, political resources negotiations, and fundamentals of the water budget. The focus will be on water science engineering in addition to water management negotiations. Students should practice and be aware of global negotiations of water resources management, water saving based innovations such as water recycling approach. This course is designed to demonstrate the present and future water challenges, many case studies must be addressed nationally and internationally sites visits and companies’ integrations. Students must engage with the market in order to do their assignments, such engagement along with the most recent local and global issues they receive in lectures could result in graduate students who have fair experience which might facilitate opening many job opportunities. Students should practice in this course all the materials on both levels theoretical and technical methodologies, and this must show in their assignments and activities all along the semester. This 20 credit elective course can be taken by the economy, science, engineering, geology, and law students.

Egypt is already considered one of the countries face a huge impact of climate change on all scales (El Raey, 1999) especially for the northern community of Nile Delta, for an example, Egypt is already below water poverty level like other different countries, which could indicate that the next global conflict could be because of water, Egypt, in particular, has reached a stage where the quantity of water is hindering its economic development (Ashour et al., 2009). Water pollution may lead to the reduction of the amount of freshwater available for use and also because of its devastating effect on development (Lonergan, 2018). Making people understand that and train them for legal planned actions to use water in different fields like irrigation and light home industries are at the top of planners and students who work in the field. Understanding the global issues related to planning, resources management, efficiency, and sustainable people actions has become a must. The suggested module is a level 6 final year course that addresses the concept of public understanding and public participation in climate change impact adaptation and mitigation to reach resilience climate solutions on a community city scale. It is an undergraduate elective course, designed for students who want to combine political socio-economic science and management with planning, so it is a multidisciplinary course that could gather different students from different majors. Students must practice and be aware of the global problem of climate change, its impact and sustainable planning principles that could be used. This course is designed to demonstrate the present and future climate resilience from public experience and interference. Many case studies must be addressed nationally and internationally, sites’ visits and communities’ integrations. Students must understand that any sustainable planning ideas and application come first from public understanding and participation, how to train people and integrate than in your strategic planning or your design is a high precedence concept. Such engagement comes along with the most recent local and global issues they are introduced to in the course and this could produce/ result in a well-knowledgeable graduate who is capable of finding many job opportunities in the climate resilience field. The course provides the students with theoretical and technical material to help them with their assignments and activities throughout the semester. This 20-credit elective course can be taken by economics, science, planning, architecture, and social science.

Over the last two decades state and local governments have taken the lead in developing innovative policies in response to the threat of climate change. At present over 30 states have developed climate action plans, and other six states are in the process of developing plans. The mayors of over 900 cities have signed the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement and committed to “strive to meet or beat the Kyoto Protocol targets.” More than 100 of these cities have developed climate action plans. At the federal level, in August 2015 the Environmental Protection Agency issued a final rule requiring the states to develop energy plans that would reduce power plant emissions 32% from 2005 levels. The purpose of this course is to equip students with the knowledge and methods necessary to assume leadership positions in developing the next generation of state, local, and national climate action plans. The course will be divided into three major sections. In the introductory section of the course (about four weeks) we will consider climate change within three complementary perspectives. First we will review the basic scientific understanding of the causes of climate change and the role of human actions. The course will not attempt a comprehensive treatment of climate change science but will discuss the science necessary to address the causes and effects of climate change with an emphasis on opportunities for policy intervention. Next we will place climate action planning within the larger framework of planning for sustainability. Students will encounter a selection of sustainability readings and discuss the relationship between sustainability, sustainable development, and climate change. Third, we will consider climate change from an economic Georgia Power’s Plant Bowen, Cartersville, GA viewpoint in order to understand the costs and benefits of climate change action and inaction. The second major section of the course (six weeks) will focus upon the nation’s energy system, the single largest driver of climate change. Specific topics include calculation of carbon emissions, EPA’s Clean Power Plan for carbon emission reductions, and renewable and nuclear energy as substitutes for fossil-fuel-generated electricity. The final section of the course (five weeks) will consider different categories of policy actions that can address climate change. These include carbon taxes, cap and trade, and climate change adaptation. City Africa Arabic Arabic In-Service Training/Continuing Education 2018
