Africa Short Course 2022: Tell Me About Australia Awards

Africa is extremely vulnerable to current climate variability as well as future climate change. As a result, governments, businesses, and communities across Africa will be expected to respond to and mitigate the effects of climate change.

This intensive 6-week online course was developed by the ANU Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions (ICEDS) to provide professionals working in government, non-government organizations (NGOs), and the private sector with a comprehensive and contextual awareness of climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in Africa.
