This course addresses global climate change mitigation and adaptation, focusing on urban impacts and preserving Quality of Life (QoL). It is for urban planners, civil engineers, environmental scientists, and policymakers. You will learn about climate change effects on living comfort, industry, urban structures, land use, and transportation systems. We examine QoL definitions, climate risks in agriculture (fruit tree production), and urban heat environments. The course also covers impacts on infrastructure and transportation, and strategies for urban development. You will use climate change impact simulation tools to analyze urban heat and transport systems. To succeed, a basic understanding of environmental science or urban planning is helpful.

This module explores fostering a sustainable society by shifting to a 'Stock-based Society' model. You will learn how prioritizing resource preservation and reuse can significantly mitigate CO2 emissions and reduce waste. We broaden the sustainability framework beyond energy and CO2 to include resource use. This builds on previous discussions of urban planning and adaptation by focusing on long-term societal durability. Consider how these principles apply to urban resource management.
