Climate Change Resilience

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate

This course will focus on how international development needs to move away from a reactive approach to crises (natural disasters, climate shocks, energy shocks, food crisis, pandemics, etc.), and move to more proactive, interdisciplinary approaches that can build resilience in low and middle income countries. The course will bring together the best lessons from the Disaster Risk Management practice, the latest thinking on adaptation to climate change, the lessons from the response to the current pandemic (and the future ones that will follow), with a special focus on developing countries and the key international institutions.
