Climate change is increasing exposure to extreme weather, sea-level rise, water scarcity, heat stress, and infrastructure failure. Governments, utilities, corporations, and communities must build systems that can anticipate, absorb, recover from, and evolve with climate shocks. This domain blends climate risk analytics, adaptation planning, resilient infrastructure design, nature-based solutions (NbS), disaster preparedness, and investment frameworks. It trains learners to evaluate hazards, model future risks, prioritise adaptation options, incorporate resilient systems, and analyse costs–benefits across sectors including energy, transport, water, housing, and industry. Participants gain skills in vulnerability assessment (VA), GIS applications, adaptation finance, resilient water–energy–food systems, social & community resilience, early warning systems, and policy planning. The curriculum integrates technical, environmental, finance, policy, and governance dimensions with hands-on cases and project-based assignments.
