​WHY THIS WORKSHOP?

​The climatic events of recent years, such as the low water levels in the Rhine (2018) or the floods in the Valencia region (2024), undeniably show that climate change is a reality. These climatic hazards have an enormous impact on the economic activities and infrastructures we rely on, on the agriculture that feeds us and on our health.

​According to the recent Global Risks Perception Survey1, the likely impact of extreme weather events is global leaders’ most significant source of concern over a 10-year horizon. Therefore, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions remains necessary, organizations must also and adapt to increase their resilience to climate change.

​The Climate Change Adaptation Workshop will enable you to :

• ​Distinguish between climate change adaptation and mitigation 

• ​Understand the need for a climate change adaptation process

• ​Identify the components of climate risks

• ​Evaluate the vulnerability of operations throughout your value chain

• ​Choose between different adaptation options and avoid maladaptation

​After the workshop, participants will have a more in-depth understanding of the risks associated with climate change. They will also have learned and experienced a method for making the best choices in terms of adaptation and embark on the path of transformational adaptation.
