Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Measures 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… More Adaptation, Mitigation
Planning for Climate Change in African Cities Climate change poses a threat to economic growth and long-term prosperity of many countries around the world. 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… More Adaptation, Climate (Atmospheric and Oceanic) Science, Climate Resilience, Disaster Risk Reduction, Mitigation

Urban Sustainability and Climate Change Human-led urbanization and globalization have caused severe negative impacts on the natural ecology of the planet earth. Climate change is one such impact that has put human settlements at risk and weakened the social and economic resources for long-term survival of people living in cities and towns. Sudden and unexpected storms and floods are on the rise in recent years. Many people are killed… More Adaptation, Climate Resilience, Disaster Risk Reduction
CPLN Issues in Global Sustainable Development: Adapting Formality and Informality in Rapidly Urbanizing Places The world is beset by interconnected economic, social, and environmental challenges of a magnitude difficult to grasp, much less address. Population growth and urbanization are at the heart of these challenges, with 2.5 billion additional people expected to be living in urban places by 2050. Poverty (3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day), environmental deprivation (75% of the earth’s… More Adaptation
CPLN 573/ COM 572 Sinking/Floating: Phenomenologies of Coastal Urban Resilience The premise of this interdisciplinary seminar is that by combining design and environmental humanities we will be able to develop a complex sense of the interplay of infrastructure and affect in the lived and built environment of coastal cities already contending with sea level rise. Ranging temporally from Mesopotamia to the dystopian futures of climate fiction and geographically from Venice and… More Climate Resilience

Management of sustainable development of territories. Strategic and spatial planning in the context of climate change "This is one of elective courses taken by students of PMA master’s degree programme. It introduces students to the concept climate changes and how they relate to the strategy and territory planning process. The attention will be focused on the strategy making process in an organization of students’ choice. After an introduction to main problema of climate change, and strategy and policy… More Climate Resilience
Public Participation versus Climate change Due to different challenges and deformation in natural resources that the whole world faces, especially Egypt, and due to climate change and other political, economic and natural impacts, the need for qualified calibers, who can work with public and participate in reactivation of their vital role for climate change adaptation and mitigation, with people we can reach one reasonable base that… More Adaptation, Climate Resilience, Mitigation
Negotiations of Water Efficiency_Climate Change Actions in Egyptian case Due to different challenges and deformation in natural resources that the whole world faces, especially water crisis in Egypt, due to climate change and other political, economic and natural impacts, the need for qualified calibers negotiators and scientists in water efficiency and negations has been raised. Egypt is already considered below water poverty level like other different sectors and… More Adaptation, Climate Resilience, Mitigation

Climate Change and the City - GaTECH Argued to be the most enduring of all human inventions, the city has proven remarkably resilient in the face of catastrophic weather events, severe economic disruption, devastating human epidemics, and prolonged warfare. 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… More Adaptation, Climate (Atmospheric and Oceanic) Science, Climate Resilience, Disaster Risk Reduction, Mitigation
Planning for Climate Change 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… More Adaptation, Climate Resilience, Mitigation
