The Adaptation Resilience Training (ART) program is an Alberta-focused set of introductory courses that will be delivered online from September 7 to 16, 2021 at no cost. This free training will explore how Alberta’s climate is changing, how it is impacting your work as a professional in the sector, and how you can understand and manage climate risks in an uncertain future.

 
There are four pre-requisite courses that we are asking all professionals to attend: 
  • September 7, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM: The Weather Isn’t What It Used to Be: Separating Fact from Fiction about Climate Change
  • September 8, 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM: Risks Around Us: Learning which Climate Risks are Important to Manage and How
  • September 9, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM: Making Dollars and Sense of Climate Change: Economic Aspects of Adaptation
  • September 10, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM: But It’s so Cold Outside! How to Speak Effectively About Climate Change
In addition, there are four stream-specific modules and attendees may choose which ones are the most applicable to their profession:
  • September 13, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM: Water: Too Much of Too Little to Manage (This session will likely be of the most interest to your members, and therefore I have attached that brochure here but anyone is free to attend these sessions)
  • September 14, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM: Building Climate Resilient Infrastructure: Using PIEVC to Understand and Manage Climate Impacts
