Discover how cities can turn climate and health challenges into opportunities for stronger, more equitable communities. This course gives you a clear, practical path: understand how climate and urban systems shape health, see what’s working in real cities, and learn the strategies and tools that help protect the most vulnerable while building prevention-focused, resilient urban environments. Dive in and start designing healthier cities today.

As cities face complex challenges, resilience is vital. Urban Resilience Essentials introduces the principles of urban resilience, exploring its evolution, applications, and tools. The course highlights the Resilient Cities Network and includes a case study on the OASIS initiative, demonstrating practical resilience strategies.

The course modules include an introductory section on resilience basics. Then we explore urban risks, strategies, and tools, with a certification assessment to validate expertise.

The Energy Resilience in Cities course explores the vital role of energy resilience in urban environments, equipping learners with the knowledge to understand and address key challenges impacting energy systems.

The course covers how to assess and enhance energy resilience using frameworks like the City Energy Resilience Framework (CERF), while also exploring strategies for ensuring equitable energy access in cities. Through practical insights and real-world case studies, the course provides tools needed to create more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable energy systems that can withstand both short-term shocks and long-term stresses.
