      Why another course on climate change?

      (Approximately  25 minutes of on-screen time = 1 hours 15 minutes of student workload hours)

      • What is causing climate change?
      • What is vulnerability?
      • What is susceptibility?
      • What is resilience?
      • How can we differentiate an adaptation action from mitigation action?
      • What is climate governance?
      • What is climate financing?

      Though most water professionals understand various aspects of climate change there is no common understanding of all the aforementioned basic aspects. There are a plenty of misconceptions about climate change and its impacts which can easily misled general public, professionals, as well as prospective students of IHE-Delft.
