Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change - Online Courses
The Center for Sustainable Development is announcing the September launch of a module of four online field courses on building sustainability into adaptation projects. These courses begin by introducing basic climate change concepts, and develop as participants identify local community vulnerabilities, investigate appropriate sustainable solutions, develop full projects, launch and manage them.

Online course participants are using our courses to develop, on-the-ground projects with real communities - both individually and through cross-hemispheric student partnerships. People from 70 different countries have used these courses to develop projects in 2010.
MODULE 340: ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE
OL 341. Adapting to Climate Change: Designing & Funding Sustainable Adaptation Projects.
