1. Introduction
The ECPD International Institute for Sustainable development, urban planning and environmental studies's aim is to continue the policy promoted by the ECPD and to additionally focus it on sustainable development as a way of not only preserving nature but also achieving a more harmonious cohabitation of people. The ECPD Institute is a regional center of the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) of the University for Peace established by the United Nationsand sees sustainability as an improvement of quality of life in all dimensions – especially environmental and social. The Institute follows the doctrine of the ECPD that has interdisciplinary connected different areas of economic, technological and social development. The focus area especially important for the Institute is the management of natural resources pursued through technological and environmental programs which embrace the principles of sustainable development. Together with ECPD Belgrade as partners of the project the aim is to foster and promote knowledge on planning and climate change as well as planning in climate change. The team is comprised by international experts in the field of climate change and architects, that have been active in many international level projects. ECPD also collaborates with ICPE, International Center for Promotion of Enterprises on their Green Industry MBA, where many ECPD professors had been guest lecturing.
The approach we are going to go with is such, that we will bring together some of the finest experts in the field of urban planning in South East Europe that will try to implement case studies and prepare lectures, based on their planning in developing countries. The innovative approach of using existing policies of spatial planning and climate change as well as practical knowledge from Mr Janez Podobnik, ex Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning of the Republic of Slovenia (2004-2008), and transfering it into theoretical knowledge and try to establish the links between theory and practice in the field of planning in climate change.
The team is comprised by experts from Slovenia and Serbia:
Team Leader: mag. Igor Cotič, Architect;
Team Members: dr. Aleksandra Stupar, dr. Peter Raspor, Janez Podobnik, MD
Institutions: ECPD INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, URBAN PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, Dunajska 104, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The EUROPEAN CENTER FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT, Belgrade, Serbia
2.Technical Proposal
Module 2 “Planning for Climate Change”
Tentative objectives of the module
- To understand how climate change concerns can be mainstreamed in the planning process.
The growing number of extreme weather events of the last few years, and their dramatic impact on the fragile urban infrastructures and on settlements, illustrate the urgency of reducing the risk through better planning practices. Urban planning and urban design have the potential to reduce vulnerability to the different climate change hazards like floods, drought, sea-level rise, and landslides and to build in resilience for further climte change. New planning practices can help mainstream climate change considerations into urban developement processes.
Proposed learning outcomes
At the end of this module, students should:
- Be able to understand the broad policy context of climate change and the planning process.
- Understand how climate change considerations can be mainstreamed in strategic planning and urban design.
- Understand how climate change considerations can be mainstreamed into urban and regional planning at the national, state/provincial, regional, and local level.
- Have gained skills in aplplying a range of tools for implementing planning for climate change.
- Have gained skills in complex problems solving and policy formulation.
Key content (proposed)
- Planning for Climate Change/ International to Local Planning Policy.
- Strategic Planning, Statutory Planning/ Urban Design- Mainstreaming Climate Change.
- Integration of Climate Change into Budgets.
- Tools for climate change assessments and implementation.
- Climate Proofing Projects.
- Community Participation
Proposed delivery mode
- Lecture (2- 6 contact hours). Possibly two lectures on planning for climate change if this module contributes to a course on cities and climate change. The first one could follow an introductry module and the second module could be the last and concluding course module.
- Studio/ Workshop on scenario Planning/ Gaming
- Field work or Group Project: Neighbourhood Design
- Seminar
Case Studies
- Climate change plans from different sites.
- Live projects relavant to the location of the course (and hence the students' reality) vis-à-vis the projected climate change impacts: drought, flood, cyclones, extreme weather, etc.
3. Relevant experiences:
Our team of experts has valuable experiences in the field of spatial planning and climate change issues. Team members are highly esteemed college professors from Slovenia and Serbia, all of them with more than 10 years of research experience. ECPD has held a Conference in 2010, namely: TEACHING CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM, which was held on May 17, 18, 2010 in Belgrade. LINK
