Planners are at the forefront of developing and implementing strategies to both reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and build resilience to current and future climate. This course focuses on some of the opportunities and challenges associated with the integration of climate change in urban and rural planning, including climate vulnerability of urban systems, low-carbon transport systems, urban greening and green infrastructure for climate resilience, regenerative designs that reduce social vulnerability, the role of information and communication technologies for system efficiency and resilience, and assessing synergies and conflicts between mitigation and adaptation. Leading policy and design cases from communities across Canada and internationally will be examined. Course Philosophy: This course is designed to provide graduate Planning and Master of Climate Change (MCC) program students with a solid understanding of the causes of climate change, and potential responses to the impacts of climate change in communities. The course is designed to provide foundation knowledge and skills that could be used when planning for, and adapting to, the community impacts of climate change. Course Format: The course comprises context-setting and informational lectures presented by the course instructor. Course participants will be expected to have read, and be prepared to discuss, assigned readings that will be drawn from web-based resources. Implications for community responses to climate change are to be explored at every opportunity.

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 and displaced by the climate-change-related disasters. How to plan for a turbulent world in the face of changing climate is the need of the hour. This course aims to provide this knowledge to students.

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.

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.

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

Ranging temporally from Mesopotamia to the dystopian futures of climate fiction and geographically from Venice and Rotterdam, New York and New Orleans, to Jakarta and Dhaka, for example), the seminar explores an array of exemplary historical and present-day sites of delta urbanism as portrayed through views coming from the literary and design communities. We will engage directly with notable experts of design and water management (some of whom will be invited to the seminar) as well as works of literature, philosophy, history, and film. The course will have five parts informed by reading, lectures and discussions taken from design (primarily city planning, landscape architecture and architecture) and literature and film. Part I. Understanding the Problem/Issues will include a discussion on how the texts demonstrate different ways of “knowing” the extent and nature of a problem/issues; Part II. Phenomenology of the Anthropocene dwells on a set of literary texts that helps us discern distinct modes of consciousness relative to water and the city; Part III. Measuring Risk takes a look at how different disciplines consider the economic, environmental and social challenges of living with or near water; Part IV. Range of Solutions offers a survey of the approaches taken to design with water in mind; Part V. Case Studies focuses on selected cities around the world and how they are approaching the planning and design of their environments. The main assignment for the class is for students to work in interdisciplinary teams. Pairs of students (one student from design and one from humanities) will select a research project to explore a place or particular approach and how it treats the opportunities and challenges presented by the amphibious terrain. They will present their research design at the midterm and their finding in the final two weeks of the semester. The class will feature a field trip to New York City to meet with public and private officials dealing with the issues and tour key projects.

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.
