Background

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. 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. 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.

Aim

• 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 teams gain

• A clear grasp of adaptation and how it complements mitigation
• Tools to assess risk exposure and vulnerability
• A framework to evaluate adaptation options (and spot maladaptation)
• Insight into the strategic, transformational dimension of adaptation
• A shared language and momentum to move from concern to action

Who is it for

• Sustainability and risk teams
• Strategy, operations, HR or communications leads
• Any group seeking clarity, capability and climate confidence

Registration details

• 3.5 hour format in two blocks (virtual)
• Can be tailored with risk case studies relevant to your organisation and context
