The CCIA course delves deep into the multifaceted effects of climate change on natural and human systems. Recognizing the gravity of current global climate challenges, the course equips students with the necessary tools and methodologies to evaluate the potential consequences of a changing climate on various sectors, such as agriculture, water resources, health, and urban planning. It combines scientific understanding with practical implications, focusing on both qualitative and quantitative assessment techniques. Students will learn the importance of local and global scale assessments, as well as the integration of socio-economic scenarios with climate change projections. Emphasis will be given to vulnerability and adaptation strategies, recognizing that climate change impact assessment is not only about understanding consequences but also preparing for them. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge, case studies, and hands-on exercises, learners will be well-prepared to contribute constructively to the climate change discourse and action plans in academic, governmental, or private sectors.
