Overview
FECT is helping to develop the course on "Climate Change in South Asia" and is contributing to the development and teaching of other courses such as Coastal Zone Management and Marine Affairs. The Climate Change in South Asia is described below.
Climate Change in South Asia
This course is to be co-taught by Prof. P. Wickramagamage of the Department of Geography of the University of Peradeniya and Dr. Lareef Zubair, Principal Scientist at FECT during the third semester of the MDP program.
The goal of the course is to provide a basic understanding of the
components of the global climate system and relate it to seasonal
and regional variation of climate in South Asia. In addition, we
shall address climate impacts, vulnerability, adaptation,
mitigation and resource management and policy responses to climate
variability and climate change. Practical exercises shall be
provided so that students from different backgrounds can undertake
related analysis.
