Oxford Adaptation Academy for Leaders and Practitioners
A joint venture between the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, Oxford University and the Global Climate Adaptation Partnership (GCAP)
Event details
Description
The course is designed for experienced practitioners who want to find adaptation solutions for some of the most profound challenges ever to face the world, integrating climate adaptation in their work.
The Academy integrates learning themes on:
- Participants' role as change makers, in their own careers and organisations
- Adaptation as a process linking climate science, vulnerability and decision making
- Technical skills in analysing adaptation options and project development
Each year includes special topics such as enterprise finance, risk rating, corporate sustainability and urban resilience. We employ an extensive library of modules, group exercises, case studies and supporting material to bridge knowledge and application, theory and practice.
This course has no provision to offer scholarships. Some participants have been funded by their employer or a donor organisation supporting an on-going project in which they are involved.
Participants are housed together to maintain a group spirit, traditionally in the residential facilities of one of the colleges at the University of Oxford.
