This program equips participants with the analytical tools, policy insights, and management frameworks to design and implement disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate adaptation strategies. It bridges climate science, infrastructure planning, social systems, and sustainability governance to support national and global resilience agendas. Aligned with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), and guided by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030), this track prepares future leaders to build resilient economies, institutions, and communities.
