Climate change poses unprecedented challenges. Given limited budgets and resources, smart and targeted investments are needed to enhance disaster and climate resilience.
This course conveys knowledge about how to plan and scale up smart and focused investments for disaster and climate resilience and supports the audience in enhancing strategic planning and decision-making skills. Participants will learn about data, tools, methods, and examples that can inform their decisions to protect communities and contribute to a sustainable future.
The course provides information about available methodologies for assessing and prioritizing investments in resilience as well as costing of climate change adaptation measures (for example at national or sectoral levels).
The course is based on the findings of the European Commission and World Bank’s study 'Economics of Disaster Prevention and Preparedness’ Phase 2.
We invite you to take also the other course, MODULE 2, from this study.
Please see also the course stemming from Phase 1 of the study ‘Economics of Disaster Prevention and Preparedness’.
