About Workshop

Since the widespread recognition of anthropogenic climate change as a serious concern, in the 1980s, scientists from many disciplines have undertaken research and assessment of the likely impacts. More recently, adaptation has also come to be considered an important response option worthy of research and assessment, not simply in order to guide the selection of the best mitigation policies, but rather to reduce the vulnerability of groups of people to the impacts of climate change, and hence minimize the costs associated with the inevitable. This has, in part, stemmed from a realization that a certain amount of climate change will occur, and that society can take concrete steps to minimize the net losses (including taking advantage of opportunities for gains). Therefore, capacity building programme on analysis of vulnerability and adaptation strategies has increasingly been presented with the intention of contributing data on threats or risk to physical, territorial and societal developmental officials; and planning specialists as an ingredient of the decision making process.
