GEODESIGN WORKSHOP @ DLA2026   WEDS 27 MAY 2p-6p

The Global to Local to Global Geodesign for Climate Change Mitigation Project (GLG) Workshop is over; it was a great success. 

The teaching team for the DLA2026 workshop:

Carl Steinitz (Harvard University, USA and University College London, United Kingdom),

Stephen Ervin, (Harvard University, retired)

Pedro Arsenio (University of Lisbon, Portugal)

The Global to Local to Global (GLG) Climate Mitigation Project, in collaboration with Esri and Geodesignhub.com, provides technical support to address climate change mitigation through a structured framework designed to support global to local to global projects by 2050, It provides a scalable workflow across diverse jurisdictions and geographic scales based on projected climate and environmental changes by 2050. It utilizes global science and global optimization designs based on emissions reduction and cost targets to inform local knowledge and local designs,  which in turn inform national and global policy. The GLG technical support is open, accessible, and free to apply.

The in-person (only; no remote participation, sorry) workshop will introduce GLG user tools. Small teams will apply these working at national or local-regional scales as projected to 2050. We will assess and compare selected results at these scales. Each participant should bring a modern laptop computer as all participants will download the GLG user tools which include 117 global suitability maps, each for a system-based project type with emissions and cost attributes.
