Through case studies and practical exercises, you will learn about climate adaptation strategies, costing measures, and the challenges of integrating these concepts into policymaking. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to make informed decisions to strengthen disaster resilience and optimize resource allocation.
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 1, from this study.
