The Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provided indisputable evidence of a warming climate. A changing climate means changes in current risk patterns and, accordingly, in risk management strategies. This training course series shall train participants to analyze and manage climate-related risks in agriculture, water resources, infrastructure, public health, and the environment. Participants shall be introduced to the process of interpreting weather and climate forecast products and climate change scenarios, and translating these into impact outlooks and risk management plans.
