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 Afghanistan, 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.
• Develop Anticipatory Actions as part of DRR, and design Early Warning Systems' ‘last mile’ communications to enable good gender equality action before a disaster.
• Explain the Climate Risk Assessment framework, how it builds towards resilience, and how it can be applied in town planning and environmental protection.
• Explore the interconnectedness between climate change, water management and health, and discuss community practices for building local resilience within water management.
• Construct a Community Adaptation Plan for the town in this course’s case study with CCA and DRR solutions that build resilience into the at-risk community.
• Design DMC stages that include Anticipatory Actions for the town in the course's case study, and use the Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) tool to build towards developing a resilient Community Adaptation Plan.

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.
