<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#555555">Going beyond the science of climate change adaptation, the focus of this course is the translation of the policy documents and research into climate-smart adaptation strategies. Participants
with an interest to take climate change adaptation further than the paper these policies are written on, are encouraged to apply. The training approach is interactive, with plenary and group work, study assignments, case studies, role-plays and fieldwork.
Participants will be able to effectively and meaningfully contribute to the debate on climate change adaptation, either in policy processes or in research; to fuel the debate or to implement climate-smart policies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
