Project Background

The blended course Managing Risk in the Face of Climate Change (MRFCC) teaches participants to become forward-thinking managers who can anticipate and prepare for disaster and climate change risks, and gain a better understanding of the rationale for an integrated approach to building resilience.

Project Objectives

After the course, participants will be able to:

• Value the complementary contribution of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management to build resilience of human, social
  & natural systems.
  
• Assess climate & disaster risks in a landscape using participatory tools and identify appropriate and effective risk treatment options
  
• Encourage complementary action and coordination between stakeholders to reduce disaster and climate change risks
  
• Effectively communicate climate and disaster risks to influence development planning, decision making, and action

List of materials reviews:

1. General Introduction & Conceptual Foundation to Climate
2. Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Management (DRM)
3. Integrating CCA and DRM
4. Framing the Problem – tools for examining the perspectives of different stakeholders over the priority given for disaster risk and climate change;
5. Framing the Possible Solutions – e.g. intervention tools
