This course equips students with advanced skills in analyzing climate data, evaluating impacts, and designing adaptation strategies. Through a combination of short lectures, practical data labs, project-based group work, and reflective discussions, students learn to assess regional and sectoral climate risks, develop climate impact profiles, and propose sustainable adaptation measures. The course emphasizes critical thinking, problem solving, and integrative learning, enabling students to interpret data, compare adaptation options, and communicate their findings effectively. By engaging with real-world data and international literature, participants gain hands-on experience in creating climate-resilient strategies aligned with sustainability goals.
