Latin America (LA) stands out as the world's most urbanized, unequal, and one of the most disaster-prone regions. Its vulnerability to climate change is rapidly increasing, disproportionately affecting impoverished communities in an intersectional manner. These communities contribute the least to Greenhouse Gas Emissions, do not benefit of economic growth, and are excluded from policy making. Climate justice movements advocate for collective action against such injustices. LEARN-UCJ seeks to unpack the potential of social learning for urban climate justice (UCJ) policy making and urban planning. LEARN-UCJ adopts a transdisciplinary approach, fostering knowledge co-production among stakeholders. The methodology is participatory, ensuring diversity and network-building. It employs an ethnographic methodology, collecting data through interviews and on-site observations. The project will focus on Bogotá (Colombia) and Mexico City (Mexico). LEARN-UCJ incorporates training and knowledge transfer objectives. Under the guidance of Dr. Rodríguez-Labajos at UPF, I will receive training in environmental justice and intersectionality. This training will enhance my skills in QDA, leadership, written and oral communication. I will transfer my expertise in participatory strategies, LA policies, and governance. LEARN-UCJ plays a significant role in realizing my vision of becoming a professor, researcher, and a policy advisor for climate justice. To maximize outcomes and impacts, LEARN-UCJ will undertake dissemination and exploitation activities. To ensure broad access to outcomes, two open-access papers will be published. All communication activities aim to raise awareness about UCJ among target groups. A major achievement of LEARN-UCJ will be the establishment of the Alliance for Climate Just Cities (ACJC), a collaborative network for social learning and climate justice. This network will contribute innovative ideas to inform the development of more equitable policies. ver más
