About the Course
This comprehensive training equips professionals with the knowledge and practical tools to integrate climate change considerations into disaster risk management and resilience planning. It explores how changing climate patterns, extreme weather events, environmental degradation, urbanization, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities are reshaping disaster risks and requiring more adaptive approaches to preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery.
Participants will learn how to identify climate-related hazards, conduct disaster risk and vulnerability assessments, develop climate-informed early warning systems, strengthen preparedness, and integrate climate adaptation into disaster risk reduction strategies. The course also emphasizes resilient infrastructure, nature-based solutions, community resilience, disaster financing, emergency coordination, and recovery planning.
