E-learning course on the economics of climate-resilient development
In this course, you will learn the basics for developing economically viable climate-resilient plans.
The course starts with a review of the scientific consensus on changes in climate patterns and projections to the future, and explains the rationale for countries to develop climate-resilient plans that will help them to move away from a business-as-usual development path.
The course continues with a description of a How-to Framework for Climate-Resilient Development Plans, which consists of an introductory guide to:
-Frame the adaptation problem and make it a challenge that can be realistically addressed;
-Identify relevant climate risks and impacts;
-Identify the range of adaptation options available;
-Estimate what it will cost to adapt to climate change;
-Prioritize adaptation measures.
