The United Nations Development Program and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization have posted a series of videos, lecture notes, and ongoing conversations about agriculture and climate change on their website. These resources were created for a MOOC (massive open online course) called National Adaptation Plans: Building Climate Resilience in Agriculture. This course is still available online at the link below.
The course contains six modules exploring the following themes:
- Introduction to climate change adaptation, agriculture, and food security
- International frameworks and national adaptation planning
- Identifying and assessing climate change impacts and risks
- Identifying and prioritizing climate adaptation options
- Governance, coordination, and finance
- Communications, monitoring, and evaluation
The course is free. To consult the videos, download the course notes, or participate in the conversation, please see: https://unccelearn.org/
