Training
Climate Finance Certificate
Financing the transition to a climate-resilient and low-carbon development remains a major challenge for most developing countries. The purpose of this course is to provide participants with the tools, methods and approaches to access climate finance and invest in climate mitigation and adaptation actions. It will analyse the global climate finance landscape and present options and challenges for financing the nationally determined contributions (NDC) of developing countries and economies in transition. Under the Paris Climate Accord, climate finance is expected to significantly increase in the coming years. Most developed countries remain committed to mobilising USD 100 billion per year by 2020 to support developing countries. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is one of the primary recipients of this funding commitment.
BIM & AI Training
The urgent demand for affordable and sustainable housing is a pressing challenge across both developed nations and rapidly urbanizing cities in the developing world.
This workshop will leverage the power of BIM to evaluate the “greenness” and affordability of buildings, providing a deeper understanding of how these two essential goals can align. By utilizing BIM tools and methodologies, participants will explore practical strategies to bridge the gap between cost efficiency and environmental sustainability, paving the way for innovative housing solutions that meet both economic and ecological needs.
