In partnership with the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the SDGAcademy, the H2020IMPETUS project developed the online course: From Commitments to Action: Transformative Approaches to Climate Adaptation in Europe.
Led by Professor Phoebe Koundouri, the course offers a comprehensive overview of climate science, the Paris Agreement, and innovative adaptation strategies for Europe, covering key models for mitigation and adaptation, socio-economic tools, and the role of data in achieving net-zero goals.
Why This Course Matters
Climate change is impacting ecosystems, health, and economies. The European Union’s 2021 climate adaptation strategy, part of the European Green Deal, aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050. But how do large-scale commitments translate into actionable solutions? This course explores the science, policies, and local innovations that are shaping Europe’s adaptation efforts, empowering communities and businesses to address climate risks while promoting resilience.
