Welcome.
Are you interested in becoming more knowledgeable about Climate Change and skilled at dealing with Climate Change? Here is a program that may appeal!
The Institute has developed a Climate Change Skills training program funded by the Australian Government Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency and in partnership with Climate Change, Coasts and Catchments at the University of the Sunshine Coast. The program has a number of resources for use by practitioners and by EIANZ's Divisions to deliver forums to practitioners.
These resources introduce practitioners to planned adaptation and mitigation responses to projected impacts of climate change. They also offer a doorway into the rapidly evolving fields of knowledge that are emerging as we seek to reduce vulnerability to climate change and adapt our systems to cope with the challenges of Climate Change. In summary, resources are:
Module 1 EIANZ Division Climate Change Skills Training manual – A comprehensive guide for Divisions to plan and present a Climate Change forum that uses engagement, presentations and workshop scoping. It aims to identify training, tools and techniques that practitioners will require. The manual's Appendices, of which there are currently 28, are updated and revised regularly and are available from the EIANZ Operations Manager at office@eianz.org.
Module 2 comprises a number of learning tools and is managed and maintained by the University of the Sunshine Coast. It aims to teach practitioners the basics of Climate Change and directs them to tools, techniques and courses.
Module 2A: Why not try a few of the tutorials which can be found in the Climate Change Primer?
Module 2B: Want to get stuck into some accredited course work? then take a look at the range of university courses available here
Module 2C: Want some tools? Take a look at some tools here in the toolkit!
Over time the coverage of the science of climate change, as well the professional development resources, links to courses available and tools will expand. In the mean time peruse the current material and come back to us regularly as we update and upload more.
