Becoming Climate Resilient training is a one-day course exploring climate adaptation, climate risk, and opportunities to build resilience and a fairer, flourishing future. The training is delivered by sustainability charity, Sniffer, and endorsed by the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute.
As climate change brings about more frequent and severe disruption across the systems we all rely upon, building resilience is an increasingly urgent priority for businesses, government and communities. Yet, adapting to climate change remains a new challenge for many.
Even if we rapidly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, we are still locked into significant climate impacts. That’s why it is important to not only focus on cutting emissions, but also to take actions to adapt to a changing climate.
