Climate-Resilient Agriculture: approaches, strategies and first-hand insights

Rates of malnutrition and hunger are rising due to current events such as conflicts and insecurity, economic shocks, and natural hazards. Climate change poses a serious risk to food and nutrition security, exacerbating the conditions of populations already vulnerable to food insecurity, due to social and economic inequalities. Agriculture approaches and strategies to adapt to climate change, such as climate-resilient agriculture, can contribute to solutions to ensure resilience and food security.

The course provides insights into climate change adaptation (CCA) in agricultural sector and discusses various approaches and strategies applicable for areas vulnerable to food security / nutrition insecure areas. During the course, case studies as well as existing projects will be used to reflect on practical solutions and experiences from the field.

The course requires basic knowledge on climate change adaptation (it is possible to attend first our introductory course: Introduction to Main Concepts and Terminologies in Climate Change Adaptation, but it is not obligatory). If you are interested in gaining credit towards a Certificate of Advanced Studies in "Anticipatory Humanitarian Action", you need to complete the introductory course and two additional specific CCA courses (to be announced on aha Website), under prerequisite of passing the exam in form of individual work after completion of all courses (please also see the general exam regulation of aha).
