Dear Aidsource Colleagues,

CSDi is announcing the launch of a module of four online courses on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change.

These courses begin by introducing basic climate change concepts, and develop as participants identify local community vulnerabilities, investigate appropriate solutions, develop full projects, launch and manage them. Partial scholarships available.

Complete information and course syllabi.

Online course participants are using our courses to develop on-the-ground projects with real communities; students from 146 different countries and 475 organizations have developed projects that address 270 different kinds of development challenges and are impacting over 300,000 people.
