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.

TOP REVIEWS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Thank you for the course. In order to improve it further I suggest- 1. Session wise summary of the lectures 2. To keep sessions in flow . These help in better grasping and minimize the redundancy
I LIKED THIS COURSE..THIS HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND HOW MAPS IS USEFUL IN BRINGING EFFECTIVE CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION.
Very practical course that explains the ground-level reality about climate change and how research organizations cope with government, society and industries to get policies implemented.
The course structure was very good and the real experience cases made the material look alive. Furthermore the essay writing part was very good, as practitioners had to get really involved.
