Much coverage is given to the mitigating of climate change through various policies and market-based instruments for reducing GHG emissions, however we must urgently be implementing complementary approaches for adaptation and building resilience.<\/p>

This course will support the students\u2019 learning to understand how various communities are, and will be impacted by climate-related hazards. Additionally, it supports students in thinking about policies and approaches that increase a community’s resilience to climate-related hazards. Different areas have different vulnerabilities due to their exposure and sensitivity to climate change impacts. Therefore, we must reduce vulnerabilities through increasing adaptive capacity of local and regional communities.\u00a0 This can be undertaken in a number of different ways from financing instruments, green business-oriented policies, closing knowledge gaps, nature-based solutions, relocating infrastructure away from coastal areas through managed retreat, enhancing early warning systems.<\/p>

This course will cover a divers set of perspectives and approaches on the need for climate policies and governance to be driving adaptation, building resilience in physical, environmental and social assets. Examples will be drawn from various parts of the world including North America, Europe and Asia.<\/p>
