With increasing scrutiny on organisations’ climate risks and preparedness, often driven by regulation, TCFD and ESG requirements, it is more important than ever to make sure decision-makers and practitioners have the right adaptation competencies.

This webinar will provide an overview of the competencies and skills landscape for climate change adaptation. It will help attendees understand the knowledge and skills they need for robust assessments, planning and decision-making in relation to adaptation. This will leave them better placed to:

• access necessary knowledge and expertise

• identify their own and their teams’ development needs

• have confidence in their adaptation plans and disclosures

• meet the requirements of adaptation guidance or frameworks, such as ISO14090

The webinar also represents an opportunity to influence future IEMA work on skills for adaptation for the benefit of all environmental professionals.
