The United Nations University Institute for Sustainability and Peace (UNU-ISP), Tokyo, invites applications for the new intensive 4 week postgraduate programme on Building Resilience to Climate Change, developed under the framework of the University Network for Climate and Ecosystems Change Adaptation Research (UN-CECAR). UN-CECAR is a collaborative initiative of more than 20 leading universities across Asia. It is committed to developing postgraduate educational and research programmes on climate and ecosystems change, adaptation and sustainability science. UNU-ISP acts as the Secretariat for UN-CECAR.

The new courses, conducted at UNU-ISP, cover a range of issues on sustainability and adaptation to climate and ecosystems change. Topics include climate and atmospheric science, impacts assessment, climate and society, ecosystems resilience, risk and uncertainty, integrated solutions for mitigation and adaptation, mainstreaming adaptation into development planning and community-based adaptation. Students also will receive practical training in the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for climate and ecosystems change research.

The programme runs for four weeks from 28 February to 25 March 2011. Course 1 focuses on Science, Impacts and Vulnerability, and Course 2 focuses on Approaches to Adaptation. Practical training on remote sensing and GIS software will be provided in conjunction to the courses. The programme is open to students who are currently enrolled in a university postgraduate programme and who have already identified their thesis topic prior to arriving in Japan. As part of the assessment, students will be required to complete a research paper that links their thesis topic to climate change.

Target applicants:

  • Students who are currently enrolled in a masters or Ph.D. programme, in any discipline, and
  • Who wish to deepen their knowledge on, and gain practical training in, building resilience to climate and ecosystems change, and
  • Who desire a future career as a climate change specialist
