Climate action is urgent, and governments cannot act alone. Businesses, cities, civil society, and transnational initiatives are stepping up—but questions remain around real-world impact, greenwashing, accountability, and equitable outcomes.

This summer school offers a focused, practice-oriented environment to explore the integrity of voluntary climate action and build the skills needed to strengthen credible and accelerated efforts.

Over one week, participants will:

• Map the landscape of voluntary climate action and identify key integrity challenges
• Work with real-world cases and current assessment approaches from research and policy
• Co-develop actor-specific roadmaps for high-integrity climate action (e.g. cities and regions, corporates, finance, cooperative initiatives)

Applications from the Global South are strongly encouraged. A limited number of scholarships is available for participants from low and lower-middle income countries.

The programme is led by Prof. Birka Wicke and Dr. Sander Chan.
