| Description:
| Aims: * To enable students to understand how climate conditions are projected to change, and what the implications are for business organizations. * To enable students to appreciate to what extent, their organization's business plans and longer-term vision are vulnerable to climate change; and in turn whether, when, and how much action is needed to increase the organization's resilience to projected changes in climate, and enhance its ability to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise. Learning Outcomes: There are two principal learning outcomes for the unit. Specifically, upon completion of the unit students should be able to: * Convince decision-makers in their organisation of the business case to manage the physical risks and opportunities of climate change. * Develop and implement a rigorous, cost-efficient and continuous process to increase the resilience of their organisation to the threats, and enhance its ability to take advantage of the opportunities, of climate change. Skills: Problem solving, communication skills, time management. Content: The study materials are divided into the following sections: The Adaptation Imperative * The Impact of Climate Change * Limiting and Coping with Climate Change Adaptation Planning * Getting Started * Risk/Vulnerability Assessment. |
