The Centre for Development Innovation at the Wageningen University is organizing the ‘Climate change governance: adaptation and mitigation as institutional change processes’ from 2 September 2013 to 13 September 2013 in the Netherlands.
The course provides participants a full understanding of climate change, its impacts and adaptation and mitigation concepts. It also builds their skills to apply tools for stakeholder engagement, policy influencing, advocacy and negotiation. The training approach is interactive and hands-on; it includes practical fieldwork and development of individual action plans.
The course is intended for mid-career professionals, dealing with climate change adaptation and mitigation options in developing countries, working for a research organisation, NGO, government or civil society. Participants need to have a relevant tertiary education with at least five years of experience in a course-related discipline like agriculture, water management, biodiversity, forestry, or other natural resources management. Competence in the English language is required.
