Published on
16 november 2015

The course structure that was developed by Sanda Lenzholzer was carried out in pilot courses in the five participating countries. In all countries the pilot course structure received very good reviews from the participants.

Therefore and because of great interest from the professional field, Wageningen Academy will offer this course as part of their regular course programme in the future. The next course is planned for the second half of 2016. If you are interested in participating in the course, please contact: Janine.Quist@wur.nl


Our EU project Clim CAP about urban climate adaptation for urban designers, landscape architects, planners, architects, etc. is going into its 'hot phase'.

From the official website (Website CLIM CAP):

Even under the most optimistic greenhouse gas reduction scenario the on-going process of climate change cannot be stopped. These impacts create new hazards and vulnerabilities putting the citizens´ quality of life and health at risk, particularly for the growing number of the elderly. Applicable knowledge from science and practice is necessary for decision making, even though uncertainties remain. CLIM-CAP proposes to bridge this gap by developing a training qualification for climate change adaptation in urban areas.

The CLIM-CAP partners include the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) and Akademie der Ruhr-Universität gGmbH (AKA) from Germany, the Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) from the UK, the Wageningen Academy (WBS) in the Netherlands, the Energiaklub Climate Policy Institute and Applied Communications (EK) in Hungary, and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Spain.
