Criteria

This participation-based badge is awarded to participants who have completed the seven-week online course on Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction in Uganda, which includes regularly attending webinars and completing assignments. Upon completion of the training, participants are able to:

• Define CCA-DRR and how they can be integrated with the common goal of reducing vulnerability and strengthening society resilience.
• Describe the stages of the Disaster Management Cycle and how community-based disaster management helps to prepare people to respond to the unexpected effects of hazards.
• Assess how gender and disability intersect with climate change and disaster risk, and recognise the importance of inclusive approaches in CCADRR efforts.
• Explain the Climate Risk Assessment framework, and how the Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) tool can be used to assess ways to increase peoples’ resilience to the effects of climate change, to decrease vulnerability, and to indicate which interventions should be prioritized.
• Develop Anticipatory Actions as part of DRR, that provide a basis for stakeholders to use Early Warning System (EWS) information to trigger a set of planned and pre-financed measures taken when a disaster is imminent, or before acute impacts of a hazard are felt.
• Explore the intersection between climate change, health and livelihoods, and discuss community practices for building local resilience.
• Construct a Community Adaptation Action Plan (CAAP) for the town in the course case study and present your group’s final climate-resilient livelihoods project proposal.

This badge is issued to participants who engaged satisfactorily with live and asynchronous elements of this course, which require an average dedication of 6 hours/week. There is no formal assessment. The estimated learning time is 42 hours.
