- Identify most relevant climate risks and impacts;
- Identify the range of adaptation options available;
- Estimate what it will cost to adapt to climate change;
- Prioritize adaptation measures.
The course helps develop the mindset and knowledge base required for anyone wishing to pursue a more in-depth analysis on climate-resilient development planning.
Target audience: Policymakers, planners, development practitioners, climate change specialists.
