Abstract

Working with real-​world case studies, the Climate Innovation programme empowers climate leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to support and lead the transition towards net zero emissions in their own context.

Objective

Mitigation of and adaptation to climate change requires deeply transformative changes of all systems and overall society towards net zero emissions. The goal of the Climate Innovation programme is to equip climate leaders with the adequate skills and knowledge to 1) lead this transition, 2) navigate uncertainty and complexity, and 3) develop impactful solutions in interdisciplinary teams. This "Science into Practice" programme is based on: 1. System Knowledge, 2. Transformational Learning Experience, 3. Network Activation with an emphasis on Dialogue and Exchange. CAS participants will work collaboratively on real-world case studies that are relevant to their work as well as to stakeholders.

Content

By the end of this programme, participants will be able to - Develop high quality, critical, impactful solution in interdisciplinary teams, - Communicate successfully about change making activities, climate change challenges and related solutions to any audience, - Practice self-​reflections as well as their role a climate leaders in the transition towards net zero emissions. To achieve these learning outcomes, the participants will engage in peer-​learning (including CAS Alumni) and utilize a network consisting of collaborators from business, government and non-​governmental sectors to identify and prototype impactful solutions in interdisciplinary teams.
