CSDi is announcing the January launch of a module of four online field courses on Adaptation to Climate Change. These courses begin by introducing basic climate change concepts, and develop as participants identify local community vulnerabilities, investigate appropriate solutions, develop full projects, launch and manage them.
Water-based projects have included insufficient community water, flooding, disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, contaminated water and health, rainwater harvesting, protection and restoration of community springs, livelihood diversification and coastal resources management plans for Small Island Developing Nations, and agricultural water conservation.
Online course participants are using our courses to develop real, on-the-ground projects with real communities - both individually and through North/South student partnerships. People from 84 different countries and 150 organizations used CSDi online courses to develop projects in 2010 impacting 70.000 people.
