Climate Action Leadership Competencies: <\/strong>Climate action leaders are required to lead changes that go beyond a single-issue approach, and include social changes that reduce vulnerabilities and risks, and actions to support efforts to adapt to unavoidable impacts and changes while increasing the resilience of individual, infrastructure, and society as a whole. The transition to a green and climate-resilient economy and society requires significant investments in up-skilling in the knowledge, skills, and orientations (competencies) necessary for equipping people working across all sectors and livelihoods to integrate and act on climate considerations. The Climate Adaptation Competency Framework<\/a> (CACF) was developed to support this agenda, and to contribute to a more standardized and comprehensive approach to building such competencies.The CACF consists of 24 competencies across 5 domains.<\/p>\n

Distributed learning:<\/strong> This assignment asks you to dive into some of the core competencies associated with climate action, and to do so using a distributed learning approach in your teams. Distributed learning creates an opportunity for the cohort to extend the scope of their learning by having individual teams and team members contribute ideas from multiple resources. In other words, the learning is distributed across the team and the cohort, and then integrated by the cohort.<\/p>\n

Each team will select a competency domain, decided collaboratively. Once these domains are chosen each team will decide which competencies they wish to focus on, and decide who is focusing on which competency. Each member of your team will complete a self-directed study following the steps below and using the library databases, and search engines to identify and retrieve\u00a0 and summarize three relevant resources (readings, videos, recorded webinars, other) that can help inform your understanding of the specific competency in focus, and its application in action. Remember that not all searches or resources are equal.<\/p>\n

Step 1.<\/strong> As a team select who will focus on which of the competencies in the chosen domain. Each team member should focus on a separate competency, and read the behaviours and mindsets that define that competency.<\/p>\n

Step 2.\u00a0<\/strong>Consider and generate a list of questions that will help you explore this competency. Examples might include:<\/p>\n
