Course Overview

Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of natural disasters—floods, storms, droughts, and wildfires. Traditional disaster management approaches are no longer enough; organizations and governments must integrate adaptation strategies to protect communities and infrastructures.

In this Climate Change Adaptation in Disaster Management Training Course, participants will explore how climate science, risk assessment, and adaptive planning can strengthen resilience. Through global case studies, scenario planning, and hands-on exercises, they will learn how to anticipate climate-related risks and design effective adaptation measures.

The course ensures participants gain practical tools for building climate-resilient disaster management systems that safeguard people, assets, and ecosystems.
