Achieving sustainable development represents a decisive challenge in the future for mankind.
The Adriatic College is aware of the fact that this challenge can be overcome only if we take into
consideration two key elements: the necessity to play a more leading, innovative and dynamic role
in education and the necessity to involve developing countries.
This intensive five days program for 36 students representing all the United World Colleges
will cover an introduction to the climate system and climate change, present the observational
evidence for climate change and the tools used to produce long term forecasts. In the final days
the focus will be on regional impacts and adaptation/mitigation policies. A mid-week field trip to
Venice is planned. Students are expected to come with some background preparation. Debate is
encouraged, dissent is welcome and action is expected to be the outcome.
We are looking for 36 participants.
Positions are open to:
12 participants from UWCAD,
and 2 participants from each UWC
Costs :
Full board and accommodation,educational materials, day trip to Venice are
provided by the organizers (ICTP and UWCAD).
