Additional information

Unit content:This is the second of two units which look at the use of established frameworks, tools and approaches to developing practical, justifiable climate change adaptation plans and strategies based on scientific, risk based approaches. The unit starts using the IPCC’s Assessment reports to look at the options at regional and local level for mitigating or adapting to climate change due to the impacts of human induced global warming. Using case studies, it then looks at the options in a number of key sectors such as agriculture, water supply and local government) for mitigating or adapting to predicted climate changes. Using established approaches and case studies the unit looks at how to develop and implement an effective adaptation plan at national, sectoral or entity level. The last part of the unit looks at how to develop more climate resilient, decarbonised cities and communities.
