Introducing
DESIGNING CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES
This course exposes the Participants to the concepts of climate change and related impacts thereof. Participants will learn how to design synergistic mitigation and adaptation strategies to cope with climate change impacts for various sectors and real world cases.

Course Details
Rationale
Climate Change is a multidimensional complex contemporary global challenge that the world has to deal with collectively. Climate is unequivocally changing and the impacts thereof are evident both globally and locally. The impacts of climate change are wide ranging across
various sectors of the economy threatening the ambitions of sustainable development. There are two prominent ways to respond to this contemporary global challenge, i.e. by reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (“mitigation”)
and adapting to the climate change already in the pipeline (“adaptation”). This course exposes the Participants to the concepts of climate change and related impacts thereof. Participants will learn how to design synergistic mitigation and adaptation strategies to cope with climate change impacts for various sectors and real world cases.

Upon completion of the course, the participants should be able to:
- Explain the basic concepts of climate change and differentiate between climate
change mitigation and adaptation. - Critically evaluate the relative threats and opportunities for mitigation and adaptation
(including vulnerability assessment) in a variety of sectorial contexts. - Design sector specific mitigation and/or adaptation strategies for real-life cases.
- Effectively communicate, negotiate and defend a designed climate change mitigation
and/or adaptation strategies.
