课程名称：发展中国家的气候变化缓解 概述：本课程挑战您思考如何在减缓温室气体排放的同时，帮助社会摆脱贫困。我们探讨了发展中国家政府在以气候友好的方式促进经济增长时所面临的复杂性。您将接触到一种应对这一挑战的方法，即通过促进的过程，让学术研究者与社会中的高层有影响力的参与者共同制作知识。您将跟踪这一过程在巴西、智利、哥伦比亚、秘鲁和南非四个拉丁美洲国家的实施情况。此外，您还将听到来自不同专业人士的观点，他们将在各自的情境中讨论不同的挑战和机遇。 本课程将涵盖的主题包括促进过程技术、能源建模、情景构建、创新和政策制定。您将有机会根据您自身的情况，对这些主题进行思考和回应。无论您是气候变化实践者、发展工作者，还是对气候缓解的理解感到好奇，本课程将为您提供关于南方国家如何在实现发展目标的同时应对气候缓解的复杂性的深刻见解。 课程免费注册和学习，您可以选择购买完成证书，成功完成课程要求后有资格获得证书，这可以成为您保持动力的良好方式！课程还提供经济援助。 课程大纲： 1. 气候变化缓解的复杂性：探讨气候变化与发展都涉及的复杂问题，以及如何从MAPS社区的实验中寻求应对方法。 2. 知识的授权与共创：强调通过知识共创来推动系统内的变化，并讨论干预的最佳启动方式和过程设计。 3. 缓解行动研究与建模：介绍可用的模型和工具，以支持温室气体减排知识的生成。 4. 关注缓解差距：分析努力不足的结果，以及科学所需的减排目标与当前排放趋势之间的差距。 5. 应对缓解挑战：探讨经济与发展路径的界面，提出创新思路以应对气候变化和发展问题。 6. 国内与国际政策的桥梁：总结情景构建过程的最后阶段，以及该方法对知识与政策之间的影响。 本课程致力于启发参与者在气候缓解和发展方面的思考与创新。
Name:Complexity of climate change mitigation
Description:Climate change and development both involve many complex problems. Each are 'wicked' problems, meaning they defy easy solutions. Tackling both development and climate change together is a 'super-wicked' problem. But we must start by taking a first step to responding to this 'super-wicked' problem. To do this we’ll share our experiments drawing particularly on the MAPS community, which includes Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and South Africa.
Name:Mandating and co-production of knowledge
Description:Our approach to mitigation and development is essentially a process that spurs change within a system. The premise is that change happens through co-production of knowledge, which in turn encourages action by actors in a system. We ask the questions: what is the best way to start such an intervention? What could the intervention look like? What are the options for the process design? This week we review the role a Scenario Building Team has to play in supporting knowledge generation.
Name:Mitigation action research and modelling
Description:Knowledge generated through research can effect change. We describe the models and tools that are available to support the generation of this knowledge. Apart from knowledge related to greenhouse gas mitigation and the costs thereof, we are interested in the positive and negative developmental impacts of moving to a low carbon economy. Emissions and costs are relatively easy to quantify but developmental impacts are less easily quantified. This week, we explore how this challenge can be addressed.
Name:Minding the mitigation gap
Description:What happens when your best efforts are not good enough? We will look at the ‘gaps’ between where we would like to be and where we are.The direction emission trends are headed is a function of everything put into the model (such as population, growth and GDP, and technology). Yet what is required by science is driven by considerations such as how we need to reduce emissions to keep temperature rises below two degrees. This week, in exploring some of the potential reasons for this gap we consider technical reasons and other pushbacks, like vested-interests, political or inherent human behaviour.
Name:Responding to mitigation challenges
Description:There are limitations within our existing toolsets and ways of thinking how we might address the mitigation gap. We need to look more closely at the interface of economic and development pathways and to question the way in which climate change mitigation professionals are approaching this huge and complex climate and development problem. Responses to these challenges include linking of economic and mitigation model to better understand the interconnectedness of mitigation policies and economic development, and involves out-of-the-box thinking when imagining climate and development solutions of the future. This week we hope to inspire innovations and responses to challenges in the climate mitigation and development community.
Name:Bridges to domestic and international policy
Description:This is the final module and it tells the story of how we have moved to the end of the scenario building process, and what the impacts of this approach are. This week we speak of two bridges: the bridge between knowledge and domestic policy, and domestic policy and international contributions.
This course challenges you to consider how one might lift societies out of poverty while also mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. We explore the inherent complexity of developing country governments wanting to grow their economies in a climate friendly way. You will be introduced to an approach with which to address this challenge. The approach consists of a facilitated process whereby academic researchers and high-level influential actors within society co-produce knowledge. You will track this process in four Latin American countries - Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. You will hear from various professionals about their contexts and the different challenges and opportunities the process includes. This course will cover topics such as facilitation process techniques, energy modeling, scenario building, innovation and policy making. You will have the opportunity to respond to these topics with ideas and reflection from your own context. Whether you are a climate change practitioner, work in development or are simply curious about how climate mitigation is understood, this course will give you insights into the complexity of how countries from the South pursue development goals while addressing climate mitigation. The course is free to enroll and take. You will be offered the option of purchasing a certificate of completion, which you become eligible for if you successfully complete the course requirements. This can be an excellent way of staying motivated! Financial Aid is also available.
