Training

Climate and development projects often stall or fail because climate risk is poorly understood, communicated, or implemented. Ensuring everyone from the top decision makers, through project staff, and to the local communities are all clearly communicating the risks and opportunities, requires a baseline understanding if interventions are to respond to real climate pressures rather than assumptions.

We provide targeted climate training for decision makers, programme and project design officers, NGO staff, and stakeholders and communities to ensure training incorporates the same evidence base but with individual context and priorities. Communities are better able to explain local climate risks and provide meaningful feedback. Project teams design interventions that match actual exposure and vulnerability. Decision makers receive clear, unambiguous information they can act on.

Our training covers general climate change, understanding and using climate model outputs, developing clear climate rationales, conducting stakeholder engagement, undertaking field assessments, and addressing donor funding requirements. Building these skills improves project quality, reduces misinterpretation, and strengthens accountability. Most importantly, it leads to decisions that are grounded in climate reality and has the confidence of all parties.
