Cities are on the frontlines of climate change as they emit the majority of the world's greenhouse gasses and are increasingly impacted by sea level rise, floods, drought, extreme heat, and wildfire. This course explores climate action planning and the challenges and opportunities of planning for more sustainable and resilient cities. Students will learn about greenhouse gas emissions accounting, vulnerability assessments, localized climate change projections, climate impacts, and how cities can both mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and plan for climate adaptation. Climate action planning will be considered through a variety of professional disciplines and scales including neighborhoods, cities, and regions. This course emphasizes inclusive and equitable planning processes that engage those most vulnerable to climate impacts.
