This massive open online course on National Adaptation Plans: Building Climate Resilience in Agriculture brings you closer to the nexus of climate change adaptation, agriculture, and sustainable development. If a participant wants to learn from development professionals currently engaged in national adaptation planning and agriculture, then this 6-week course is for him or her.
Using videos, interactive lessons, case studies and stories, this course explores the central elements and the process for addressing the agriculture sectors in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans.
A participant will be introduced to Zipora and Alice - two women from different countries and cultures who share a common experience of ways in which climate change is affecting their worlds. Through their stories, a participant will gain insights into what it really takes to build climate resilient agricultural systems.
