Climate adaptation and risk reduction

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: RHAD03

The course starts with an overview of the expected effects of climate change at global and national levels, and a survey of current processes taking place in Sweden on these issues. Central theoretical concepts integrating the usually short-term risk reducing perspective with the more long-term climate adaptation perspective are studied. Guides and tools in the field that are available at national and international levels are studied and applied in an individual project. Instruction is web-based with two on-campus meetings which include mandatory discussion sessions. Students are required to have access to internet-connected computer with performance meeting the university's technical requirements. The course is problem-based and designed for flexible learning.
