CLIM056 - Asset Management and Climate Resiliency
Course Description
This course offered by the Climate Risk Institute and delivered by leading infrastructure and resilience experts introduces the fundamentals of asset management.
Learners will explore the impacts of climate change on asset lifecycle performance, finding opportunities to improve climate resilience of infrastructure through the asset management process, the role of natural assets and natural asset management in climate resilience, and the benefits and challenges of infrastructure asset management.
Through discussions around land use planning, operations and maintenance, finance, and risk management, this course provides an understanding of how climate can impact assets and services, and how the asset management process can be used to implement climate action to build resilience effectively.
Please note: This course is not eligible for the Lifelong Learning Alumni Discount.
Offered in partnership with The Climate Risk Institute:
