It tackles the complex issue of governing climate resilient cities, assessing in a comparative fashion best practices and solutions.

The Course targets primarily policy makers, public servants and practitioners, presenting theoretical and academic contents with a hands-on and practical approach.

Specific contents within the general theme will be identified yearly and agreed upon by the organisers at every edition, based on current developments in the area.

It specifically concentrates on how to best govern climate resilient cities.

The Course targets executives, policy makers, public servants, city managers, urban planners, emergency experts and other international staff, development workers.

It will also benefit researchers and academics in the field who are interested in deepening the governance related aspects of climate change impacts on city management.
