Descriptions
Climate action in developing countries. This course challenges you to think about how to lift societies out of poverty while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We explore the inherent complexity of governments in developing countries seeking to grow their economies in a climate-friendly way. You will be introduced to an approach to meet this challenge. The approach consists of a facilitated process in which academic researchers and high-level influential actors within society co-produce knowledge. You will follow this process in four Latin American countries – Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and South Africa. You will hear from different experts about their contexts and the different challenges and opportunities the process presents.
This course will cover topics such as facilitation process techniques, energy modelling, scenario building, innovation and policy making. You will have the opportunity to respond to these topics with ideas and reflections from your own context. Whether you are working on the issue of climate change, working in development or just interested in understanding how climate action is understood, this course will give you insights into the complexities of how countries in the South pursue development goals while also addressing climate action. Registration and participation in the course is free of charge. You will be offered the opportunity to earn a certificate of completion, which you will be entitled to if you successfully complete the course requirements. This can be a great way to stay motivated! There is also financial support available.
