This training module guides participants through four key steps to effectively implement processes and practices that support climate adaptation work.

Climate adaptation introduction

In this video, we introduce the idea of climate change adaptation and explain different types of adaptation. We also introduce a typical four-step adaptation planning framework to help consider the idea of adaptation planning in the following 4 videos.

Climate adaptation step 1: Scoping

In this video, we look at the first step of a typical four-step adaptation planning framework. We talk through considerations of scale, engagement, planning outcomes and climate scenarios.

Climate adaptation step 2: Understanding vulnerability and risk

In this video, we look at the second step of a typical four-step adaptation planning framework. We talk through the concepts underlying an integrated vulnerability and risk assessment, as well as different levels of assessment.

Climate adaptation step 3: Adaptation options and plans

In this video, we look at the third step of a typical four-step adaptation planning framework. We look at the concept of adaptation responses or ‘options’ and consider how they might be assessed and sequenced.

Climate adaptation step 4: Implementation and monitoring

In this video, we look at the final step of a typical four-step adaptation planning framework. We consider the different outcomes of monitoring and evaluation to consider.
