MODULE 10 –
Capstone Studio: Transition Roadmap & Implementation Plan
Estimated time: 6–8 hours | Format: Team Project + Peer Review
Capstone Brief
Develop a sector or city-scale transition roadmap to 2040 with an actionable 5-year implementation plan. Integrate systems thinking, policy mixes, finance, circular design, equity, and metrics.
Minimum Deliverables
- Vision & Targets: clear end-state, interim milestones, and guardrails (e.g., no-regrets principles).
- System Map: actors, lock-ins, leverage points, and risk register.
- Portfolio of Actions: technology + demand-side + nature-based + governance reforms.
- Finance Plan: capex/opex, funding stack (public, private, blended), de-risking tools.
- Just Transition Plan: workforce pathways, community benefits, engagement timeline.
- MRV & Learning: indicators, review cycle, adaptive management triggers.
Assessment Rubric
| Dimension | Exemplary | Proficient | Developing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Systems Rigor | Feedbacks & risks integrated into choices | Some causal clarity | Linear list of actions |
| Feasibility | Credible costs, phasing, enabling policies | Partial costing or vague timelines | Uncosted wish-list |
| Equity | Specific benefits, safeguards, governance | General statements | Absent |
| Impact | Quantified emission & co-benefit outcomes | Directional estimates | No metrics |
Peer Review: Trade your roadmap with another team. Provide a 300-word critique focusing on risks, sequencing, and blind spots; propose two concrete improvements. Back to Module 1

How This Course Works
Scientific + Practical
Each module pairs scientific foundations with real-world cases. Activities emphasize evidence-based decisions with contextual judgment.
Interdisciplinary
We bridge engineering, policy, economics, and design—mirroring how transitions occur in the real world.
Project-Based
Assignments feed into your final roadmap. Expect iteration, critique, and refinement.
Expert Insights
Guest perspectives (academia & industry) are woven into modules to stress test assumptions and expose trade-offs.
