This is an application for an interactive online course on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
RedR UK is offering an innovative, high-quality online training course aiming to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to respond to and advocate for improved action around climate change and disaster risk reduction.
This 7-week course will take placestarting on the week of the 4th of November. Throughout the course, contextualised case studies specific to Somalia will be used to support the development of DRR activities that allow for the adaptation and mitigation of the impact of climate change.
The training is a 7-week fully online course with a mix of live and asynchronous (offline) content every week, delivered on RedR UK’s dedicated e-learning platform. The course requires a commitment of around 5 -7 hours a week from participants.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
Define CCA-DRR and how they can be integrated with the common goal of reducing vulnerability and strengthening society resilience.
Describe the stages of the Disaster Management Cycle and how community-based disaster management helps to prepare people to respond to the unexpected effects of hazards.
Develop Anticipatory Actions as part of DRR, and design Early Warning Systems' ‘last mile’ communications to enable good gender equality action before a disaster.
Explain the Climate Risk Assessment framework, how it builds towards resilience, and how it can be applied in town planning and environmental protection.
Explore the interconnectedness between climate change, water management and health, and discuss community practices for building local resilience within water management.
Construct a Community Adaptation Plan for the town in this course’s case study with CCA and DRR solutions that build resilience into the at-risk community.
Design DMC stages that include Anticipatory Actions for the town in the course's case study, and use the Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) tool to build towards developing a resilient Community Adaptation Plan.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for local humanitarian responders (e.g. local NGOs, CBOs, climate actors) to include climate related considerations into their actions within Somalia. The course will be delivered in English via Zoom.
Please note: This course has only 50 spaces available. Additional cohorts will be offered later in the year and we will share more details at a future date. If you are unavailable for the course but wish to be considered for the future cohorts there will be an option within the application to let us know.
