Module 2: Key Concepts for Adaptation

This module provides participants with a detailed understanding of the often bewildering array of terms and concepts relating to adaptation. It explores differnt types of adaptation, addresses the relationship between adaptation and resilience, and explains the difference between transformational and transformative adaptation. It introduces risk frameworks and explores how risk relates to vulnerability. By the end of the module, participants will have a clear understanding of what different terms and concepts mean, and how they relate to each other. They will be able to deploy these concpets in pratical ways to understand climate change risks and impacts in a way that address both the role of both physical hazards and socially-mediated vulnerabilities.
