Your Framework
Take ownership of the subject by defining what “Adapting and living together in the face of climate risks” means in a given local perimeter.
You will define your environment of study and the climate hazards impacts you want to address. You will have to consider a world facing a maximum rise of temperature of 2°C by 2100 and also define the population or activities affected by this possible future climate.
PHASE 1: Propose a project or solution to cope with one of the questions.
- How can we adapt to climate reality and promote the integration of affected populations?
- How can we manage climate risks to reduce our vulnerability and enhance resilience?
- Also, how to reduce the gap between directly affected populations and the world’s top emitters of GHG?
PHASE 2: Think about the implementation & scaling up of your solution.
