SUMMARY:Management of Climate Risk for Infrastructure Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:This course offered by the Climate Risk Institute and delivered by leading infrastructure and resilience experts addresses the societal importance of risk-based decision making\, introduces a diverse set of risk management frameworks\, and reviews main principles and definitions underlying risk and\, more specifically\, public and asset risk management. The course reviews approaches to risk analysis and analytical tools used in risk assessment; explores trade-offs in choices among risk assessment methods; and addresses common human errors in reasoning about probability and risk.

SUMMARY:Climate Action and Transition Leadership
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis is often described as a crisis of leadership. Dominant models of leading are failing to adequately address the magnitude\, complexity\, severity\, and uncertainty of humanity’s interconnected climate and sustainability challenges. Course participants will identify and experiment with leadership mindsets and practices needed to contribute towards the transition to a low-carbon\, socially-inclusive future. Presented by Royal Roads University.

SUMMARY:Applied Climate Science for Infrastructure Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:This course offered by the Climate Risk Institute and delivered by leading infrastructure and resilience experts will provide an overview of the fundamental principles that underpin climate change science; the application of climate scenarios; the role of global and regional climate models in predicting the behaviour of the climate system in response to different forcing scenarios\, and how we can translate climate model outputs in support of multi-scale impacts assessment or design of various infrastructure systems.  Examples will be drawn from various aspects of the built environment to illustrate the impacts in a changing climate\, possible risk mitigation and adaptation approaches\, and challenges and opportunities related to design decision-making under climate change uncertainty.
