Training program on climate change adaptation

EIANZ NSW Division and Special Interest Section on Climate Change, in partnership with the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, is offering a training program designed to upskill environment and sustainability professionals on climate change adaptation.

Supported by the UNSW Institute of Environmental Studies, Infrastructure Sustainability Council Australia and the Green Building Council of Australia, the course is designed for industry professionals to gain deep skills in climate change adaptation and is suited to those involved in projects/assets pursuing IS ratings as well as infrastructure design, construction and operation in general.

The training program is structured into three modules: applying the science of climate change impacts; assessing and managing climate change risks; and applying and communicating climate change adaptation policy and standards. Although the course has been designed as an integrated whole, participants are welcome to complete any of the modules on their own.

Each module includes a collaborative learning platform and a full day featuring guest speakers, case studies and recognised climate science experts. Over the course of the program, the small group of participants will work together to implement adaptation programs in real organisations.

Completion of the course will be recognised by the EIANZ’s CEnvP program and Green Building Council of Australia Green Star CPD program; as a Master Class in Climate Change Adaptation by Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia; and with a certificate issued by the Institute of Environmental Studies.

The first module will be held on 12 March next year and enrolment closes on 21 February. To register, visit http://profile.eventarc.com/profile/L2A.
