Urban areas are hubs where large amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are released into the atmosphere, especially from key sectors such as buildings, transport, and waste.
With the world becoming warmer every day, Cities should act first to cut emissions to slow down the rate of warming. Low Carbon Development is the key to achieving this goal.
The Urban Resilience Course will walk you through the strategies of Low Carbon Development.
The training will be conducted in a blended modality. The onboarding for the training course will be conducted online (4 Hours spread over two days).
The onboarding will cover fundamentals that are prerequisites for joining the course. A five-day in-person training will follow this.
During the in-person training, different thematic areas related to urban resilience will be discussed in the morning sessions via lectures and presentations.
The afternoon sessions will be mainly dedicated to group exercises with different tools and discussions on case studies.
An exposure visit will be organized for the participants to gain first-hand experience of different actions implemented in Bangkok, Thailand (one of the Megacities in Asia) for enhancing urban resilience.
The training is offered by Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) through its Academy Department in partnership with the International Urban Resilience Academy of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU).
The training is scheduled from 2-3 November 2023 (Online) and 6-10 November 2023 (in-person) in Bangkok, Thailand.
Course fees are US $1,600 with accommodation and US $ 1,300 without accommodation.
