AIACC Project Development Workshop
Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation
Course Description and Detailed Course Programme
Introduction:
The workshop will explore common areas of concern in AIACC projects. The workshop will cover concepts
and case studies, and then explore practical ways in which various aspects of impacts modelling,
vulnerability assessment and evaluation of adaptation could be applied in individual projects. People
coming to the course will be expected to work on their own project material and time will be allocated to
address individual project concerns. The course is designed to have flexibility and be responsive to
people’s needs as they arise.
The course objectives are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
To consider the design of projects, including the link to policy, identification of sensitive sectors and
vulnerable groups, capacity building and role of stakeholders;
To evaluate diverse methodologies to meet the demand for information on climate change;
To initiate training in methods that form the components of vulnerability and adaptation projects;
To promote further learning, among project participants and partners in specialist centers.
The course is organized around several types of activities:
 Plenary presentations are overviews of major themes of the workshop
 Breakout groups and practical sessions follow up major themes
 Project development sessions for participants to work on their own projects
 Participant presentations to give short synopses of their projects
 Special events, including a poster reception and workshop dinner
 A field trip to Venice to see sea level rise threats first-hand
 Flexi-time for additional presentations, informal working groups, and projects consultations
 Wrap up, feed back and evaluation sessions at the end of each day
Organization:
The first day will be devoted to exploring approaches to climate change impacts, using a mixture of
presentations and evaluation of case studies. The remainder of the first week follows the vulnerability and
adaptation themes with more detailed presentations and ‘hands on’ sessions. The second week is oriented
toward impacts assessment and synthesis.
The workshop is not organized according to a detailed progression, i.e. overview on Monday, Step 1 on
Tuesday, and finish with Step 7 on Day 12. This is partly practical--the constraints of who is available when
(there are at least three other climate meetings going on in Europe at the same time)—and partly due to the
diversity of approaches to climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation. And, the design is partly
due to our view that the participants have skills and experience that we all need to learn from! So, you
might think of the course as an a la carte buffet rather than a set menu that everyone follows.
The course book will include a ‘personal goals sheet’. This will help you think about the coming two weeks
and what you wish to get out of the workshop. Don’t hesitate to ask about material, topics and tutorials that
you would like to see covered (or would like to contribute yourself)!
Major themes:
We do have specific themes represented in the workshop. To make the schedule slightly clearer, we have
color coded the sessions:
- Vulnerability concepts and assessment (red)
- Stakeholder analysis and engagement (orange)
- Adaptation evaluation (green)
- Sectoral impacts assessment (brown)
- Integrated regional assessment (purple)
- Climatic variability, climate outlooks and risk (blue)
- Project design, case studies, management and communication (black)
On the first day we will explore ways to use the building blocks of the course sessions to put together
different types of climate change impact, vulnerability and adaptation projects.

AIACC Project Development Workshop
Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation
Roles:
The participants will have opportunities throughout the workshop, to:
- Session chair`; keeping time, stimulating the sessions
- Rapporteur: to provide a short synopsis of the day—what are the major headlines?
- Discussant: to comment on a plenary presentation and form a panel for questions
- Peer reviewer: to critique the case studies
- Presenter and facilitator, in addition to the scheduled activities
Two places in the programme are reserved for participant presentations. In the first session, on Friday,
Day 5, there is time for about a dozen participants to make short (10 minute) overviews of their research
AIACC projects, or related research. These will be voluntary, with a sign up sheet early in the workshop.
The intention is to give us a chance to learn from your own work and expertise, as well as to report on the
AIACC ‘work in progress’.
The afternoon of the second Thursday is reserved for project presentations. These are more specific
presentations by each project team. They should relate the workshop themes to the design of their projects
and review progress to-date.
On the first day and again on the first Thursday, the workshop includes sessions where facilitators will
present case studies of climate change projects. The intention of the break-out groups is to review this
experience. We suggest the following checklist as a guide to the review of the case studies:
Design:
How was the project designed?
By whom?
Who were the clients?
Who were the partners?
Was there an explicit analytical framework/flow chart?
Methods:
What were the methods chosen for:
* climate and climate scenarios
* present vulnerability
* impacts models and assessments
* adaptation measures and strategies, and their evaluation
Outcomes:
What were the major conclusions?
How were the outcomes communicated? To whom?
Were the outcomes influential in policy? Research capacity building?
Lessons learned:
Where there recommendations for further research and project design?
NB: In the schedule, the pick-up routine each morning is the same as on the first day.

regions? What is the range of adaptation measures and strategies? And how will vulnerability and adaptation be
evaluated? This session is for participants to develop and refine their project designs and prepare for presentations
