The module will focus on the role of climate finance and investment in meeting climate goals. It will introduce you to key concepts and trends in private and public climate finance, including the current landscape, key initiatives and approaches to undertaking research in the field. It will explore investment challenges in developing countries and specific sectors (e.g. clean energy, hard-to-abate sectors and biodiversity) to illustrate the importance of context in shaping financial flows. Lectures will cover:

*Key concepts, frameworks and sources for climate finance and investment 

•Role of governments and the private sector in providing and delivering climate finance and investment

We face unprecedented challenges of ecological and climate breakdown. Around the world, the impacts are already being felt—overheating, air and water pollution, flooding and lack of natural resources—all with social, environmental and economic impacts, especially on health and wellbeing.
50% of people, 70% of Europeans, live in cities, and this is predicted to rise. With the poorest in society most vulnerable and worst affected, climate change is also a social justice issue.
Greening cities by working with nature is recognised globally as a vital response—nature-based solutions to cool, clean and care for the city and create climate-adapted, healthy, resilient urban environments.
This new Level 5 15 Credit module Greening Cities explores the challenges we face and collaborative processes for nature-based solutions in urban planning, design, implementation, adaptation and care.
Through a range of creative processes, with reference to exemplar projects and contributions from industry experts and academics, students will learn the principles and application of an urban green infrastructure approach for resilience, health and wellbeing, and social and environmental justice.
