VIU_NDRC Capacity Building on Climate Change

The first course in 2013 organized in cooperation with the National Development and Reform Commission is scheduled from June 16 to 27.

Thirty-eight participants will attend a 10-days course on "Capacity Building on Climate Change", an issue of constant concern not only for China but also for all countries worldwide. Lectures and visits will explore the policies and actions to mitigate the effects of climate change and adaptation measures applied in Italy and other countries. In this regard the city of Venice will provide for a first and highly interesting case study. A special focus will be given to energy production and use, and also tools such as the European Emission Trading Scheme will be discussed.

To better understand the practice of the EU ETS system the participants will visit the Italcementi cement production plant in Calusco d'Adda, an advanced industrial installation that applies the most recent technologies to reduce its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
