About the Course
Organizations today demand more than just construction and maintenance; they want resilience: assets that continue to perform under climate stress and disruptions. Whether you’re upgrading drainage systems, maintaining roads, designing buildings, protecting water supply systems, or strengthening power infrastructure, leaders and funders want a clear answer: What climate risks are you addressing, what options did you compare, and what is the value for money?
This course turns climate adaptation from a broad concept into a practical infrastructure decision-making toolkit. Participants will learn how to identify climate hazards and exposure pathways, assess vulnerability and criticality of assets, interpret climate information for planning, prioritize adaptation options using cost, benefit, and risk logic, integrate resilience into design standards, procurement, and O&M, and build investment cases and adaptation plans that stakeholders can approve. It's hands-on, applicable, and tailored for professionals who must prioritize, defend, implement, and monitor resilience actions across sectors.
Target Audience
This course is crafted for professionals who are at the forefront of infrastructure planning and management, facing the challenges of a changing climate.
This course is designed for:
- Infrastructure planners and engineers (transport, water, energy, buildings)
- Project managers overseeing infrastructure delivery
- Public sector staff responsible for capital projects and asset management
- NGO and development program leads managing infrastructure interventions
- Donor-funded project teams handling resilience requirements
- Urban planners and municipal infrastructure teams
- Procurement professionals and contract managers
- Environmental, climate, and safeguards specialists
- Facility managers and operations/maintenance leaders
- Anyone who must justify infrastructure resilience decisions using climate-risk evidence
Course Objectives
This course equips you to assess climate risks, prioritize resilience options, and integrate adaptation into infrastructure planning, design, delivery, and maintenance.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
- Understand climate hazards and how they affect infrastructure performance
- Conduct climate risk screening for infrastructure assets and projects
- Identify exposure, vulnerability, and criticality across asset systems
- Select practical adaptation options across design, nature-based, and operational measures
- Apply risk-informed prioritization and investment appraisal for resilience actions
- Integrate adaptation into project cycles, procurement, and O&M plans
- Develop a climate-resilient infrastructure action plan and monitoring indicators
- Communicate and defend resilience investments with clarity and evidence
Requirements & Prerequisites
Participants should have a basic understanding of infrastructure planning and management. Familiarity with climate data and risk assessment methodologies is beneficial but not required.
