Climate Change and Sustainable Development
Global Climate Impacts

Discover the links between climate change and sustainable development, and explore strategies to build resilient societies. This course would treat the essentials of climate science and climate change from human society perspectives. The course examines climate change, its drivers, underlying science, impacts and related-policy and technological responses. Climate change is discussed from the natural and social science perspectives and situated within the context of sustainable development. The course, which is targeted at policy professionals and decision-makers in the private and public sectors is divided into appropriate modules.

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment
Assessment Methods

Learn techniques to evaluate vulnerabilities in communities and ecosystems affected by climate change and develop adaptation plans. Mitigation of and adaptation to climate change requires, quintessentially, the assessment of the vulnerabilities of the receptor systems to the impacts of climate change. This assessment must be incorporated into existing development structures and processes and form the basis for future development planning at all levels from national to international.
