Climate-105: This module explores climate change impacts on natural and human systems and describes the intersections and synergies of those impacts in terms of human and ecological risk. These include impacts from temperature and precipitation regime change, wildfire, drought, flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, and extreme weather events. The course addresses how those impacts affect natural systems at the physical, biological, and ecosystem functioning levels, and presents key impacts on the built environment and human systems, including public health and safety, critical infrastructure, natural resources, national security, supply chains, economies at all scales, and financial systems. This content serves as a critical foundation in assessing risk, planning for climate action, understanding cascading impacts of a changing climate. 

Climate-201: Course participants will receive an introduction to available community-relevant information sources and tools, climate data sets, and a template to help assess an organization's (or region's) climate risks and current resilience. Attendees will learn how to define climate-related hazards, recognize differential impacts of those hazards, identify existing and future risks, fully understand their current vulnerabilities and strengths, identify and utilize stakeholder partnerships to inform the decision making process, and evaluate the most critical vulnerabilities for their organization.
