Climate change is one of the most profound obstacles to universal well-being that society faces. This course introduces the basics of climate change, especially hydroclimate, and its effects on water security. It then explores how water values and trade-offs that can impede water security advancement can be integrated with grey and green technologies to accelerate climate change adaptation and advance all 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The course culminates in a project on water security and climate resilience.
