  Learning Outcomes
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The course intends to give an updated, integrated, and systemic view of the most relevant aspects of policies and mechanisms facing climate change and energy security. The conceptual and technological evolution of these issues will be provided. Students will also understand the relationship between sustainable economic development and social and environmental pressures arising through the examination of the most widely adopted sustainability indicators, measurement and reporting as well as the most renowned sustainability indexes, such as DJSI and FTSE4Good. A special focus will be given to adaptation and mitigating measures to environmental impacts (particularly in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and reducing the vulnerability to energy crisis), and their relations with sustainability policies implemented in enterprises. The main aim of the course is to remove the current fragmentation of teaching these topics, while allowing students to develop their individual perception and critical analysis of this issue, providing them with a valuable background of technical information for future use.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  At the end of the course students will have an overview of the current adaptation and mitigation measures facing climate change and fossil fuel depletion through a "road map". They will also learn how to apply sustainability management practices and indicators and report on them in enterprises of several sectors, particularly in the oil & gas, electric utility, agriculture, forestry, transport, chemical, mining and others.

  The summer school will address how energy security and climate change issues have been affecting various communities worldwide, particularly the coastal areas and island communities. It will investigate how local climate change effects are interrelated and the contributing factors to the vulnerability of certain locations. Further, it will explore possible mitigation and adaptation measures for these locations.
  The vulnerability and possible means to strengthen resilience of energy systems to environmental impacts will be a relevant issue to be addressed in the summer school with a particular emphasis given to the exploitation of renewable energy sources and deployment of their related technologies.
  
  Topics to be covered:
  
  ·Part 1: Vulnerabilities of natural resources, human settlements and energy systems within the context of climate change
  
  ·Part 2: Sustainable management, policy and governance facing climate change and energy security
  
  ·Part 3: The potential and barriers of renewable energy sources
  
  ·Part 4: Working group session for a strategic framework for sustainable governance facing climate change and energy security in Azores Island
