Climate change is reshaping the world we live in—especially for communities located along our coasts. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and shifting ecosystems are just some of the challenges coastal communities now face more frequently. But within these challenges lie opportunities to build stronger, more connected, and more resilient communities. This course is designed for individuals and organisations who are passionate about understanding and supporting climate resilience at the community level, with a special focus on coastal regions. Whether you're new to the topic or seeking to deepen your practical knowledge, this course will guide you through the key concepts, tools, and approaches needed to engage in meaningful community-led climate adaptation efforts.
