This program focuses on the science, economics, and governance of climate risk and resilience. It enables participants to assess vulnerabilities, design adaptation strategies, and implement resilience-building measures across sectors — agriculture, energy, infrastructure, and communities. Learners will master tools for climate risk modelling, vulnerability mapping, and adaptation policy formulation. The program aligns with SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), equipping professionals to strengthen resilience in the face of global climate challenges.
