- Practical Adaptation for Vulnerable Groups: This 2-day training course will provide practitioners from government, research institutions and NGOs with a sound grounding in climate science, the developmental context of climate change adaptation and participatory adaptation approaches. Practical methodologies and tools will be provided, illuminated by examples from adaptation practice. The learning methodology is experiential and interactive and is aimed at enabling participants to design and facilitate adaptation processes for vulnerable communities. The course will be facilitated by Noel Oettlé and Shannon Parring.
- Adaptation for Extreme Events will be presented on 29th May 2017 in Grahamstown. This innovative training course will be held immediately before the 2017 Adaptation Colloquium, and will explore the specific context of enabling planners and practitioners to support potentially affected communities to adapt effectively to minimize the impacts of extreme weather events. The context of the course will be the realties and opportunities of government support for adaptation, and how research partnerships can contribute to generating necessary data and appropriate knowledge. The course will be facilitated by Nick Hamer, Sheona Shackleton and Noel Oettlé.
