Introduction
As a result of climate change, local authorities and their citizens are increasingly faced with problems such as air pollution and water scarcity. Moreover, the security and livelihoods of millions are threatened by droughts, floods, and other natural disasters. To address these challenges, local governments – in cooperation with national and local stakeholders – must develop strategies that respond to current and future climate change.
In this course, we will discuss climate change scenarios across multiple sectors and explore their policy implications. Furthermore, participants will assess local climate vulnerabilities in their own local context, and discuss possible strategies to build local resilience. The focus is on designing sustainable adaptation plans that support communities and local ecosystems, for example, by developing nature based solutions. Participants will also map national and international opportunities to finance climate adaptation, and they will learn how to incorporate climate justice principles in local policies.
Key Information
This course is aimed at professionals who design, implement and support policies for adaptation to and mitigation of the effects of climate change. Participants come from national, regional and local governments, knowledge institutes, NGOs and donor and development organisations.
