Adaptation is overdue
Climate change mitigation gets a lot of attention, but the impacts of climate change are already here and will continue to worsen. So we must adapt to deal with the consequences of climate change.
New strategies need new thinking
As we get out of the pure mindset of “how do we reduce GHG emissions?” to start including “how do we deal with the impacts of climate breakdown?” we will have to learn new ways to think.
New tools for thinking
Building a common language and breaking down abstract concepts to build distinction in risks will help us make plans that are effective and open new possibilities.
This workshop teaches a framework to make better decisions.
What we will do:
- Learn to define and understands risk, exposure, vulnerability, adaptation, maladaptation.
- Discover the reasons why adaptation is critical.
- Learn a framework to make better choices to avoid maladaptation and maximise co-benefits.
- You will learn about planning pathways for adaptation towards transformative, long-term solutions.
- When you have grasped the framework, we will apply it to examples relevant to you.
What we will not do:
- Learn specific adaptation strategies and methods. (You will not have new strategies to flood-proof your house by the end)
