Short Course On Climate Change and Adaptation in Water Sector

Course Overview
This course offers a comprehensive journey through the science of climate change, climate data analysis, and practical adaptation strategies within the water sector. The program aims to build participants’ capacity to understand climate change scenarios, work with climate data, and apply this knowledge to water resource planning and management. Throughout the training course, participants will understand key concepts of climate change, analyze and interpret historical and projected climate data, and apply various tools for data visualization, transformation and downscaling. The course will also guide participants in using climate data for impact analysis and adaptation planning to support climate-resilient decision-making.

What to Learn
Fundamentals of Climate Change & Adaptation: Concepts of global warming, climate variability, and extreme events, climate change impacts on water resources and ecosystems, understanding and analyzing historical climate data and climatic projections, and adaptation approaches in the water sector.
Applications of Climate Data: The fundamentals of climate change will be integrated with hands-on techniques monitoring relevant to the water sector. Applications include interpreting gauged and reanalysis data, global and regional climate models for long-term changes, projecting future climate scenarios and extremes, and applying tools such as RClimDex and SDSM. Participants will engage in climate data preprocessing, analysis of trends and variability, and visualization of global and regional
projections— equipping them to integrate climate data meaningfully into water resource planning and impact assessment.

Hands-On Experience: Engage in practical projects designed to reinforce the concepts covered in lectures. The participants will be able to apply this practical application in their working fields in the sector of water and climate change. By the end of the course, participants will have a robust understanding of climate change science, climate data analysis, and adaptation planning in the water sector. They will be equipped with practical skills in handling global and regional climate datasets, performing geospatial analysis, and applying tools and techniques specifically tailored to support climate resilient water resource management.
