95709 - Climate Change Adaptation

Academic Year 2026/2027

Learning outcomes

Students of this course will learn solutions to climate change adaptation and their technical design, by focusing on extreme weather events - in particular floods and droughts - low carbon management of climate hazards, and innovative strategies and interventions for the mitigation of climate change impact. Risk based adaptation design and decision theory will be considered as an effective and transparent means to evaluate competitive solutions and assign priorities, while uncertainty assessment will provide the basis for a pragmatic design. The joint analysis and modeling of solutions and societal systems will be the driving concept of the course, with an evolving educational path that will focus on the most recent research developments and will make use of open access information.
