Overview
Assignment 3 requires that you work as a team to design a climate risk assessment process for a real-world sector or setting. Part 1 of this assignment requires that you provide an overview and outline of your process and Part 2 requires that you deliver an ‘off the shelf’ methodology that is described fully in the Part 2 description.
Instructions:
- Begin by setting an objective and scoping the assessment process to narrow down the approach you will take. The instructor will provide guidance on settings and sectors if needed.
- Choose a setting and define the geographic area where you will focus your work. This decision could be guided by the availability of information, your interest, and societal need.
- Create an overview and outline that shows the main sections of your full proposal as well as bulleted information about how sections will be populated.
Requirements:
You will submit a draft outline for review by the instructor. At a minimum, the outline you submit must contain:
- An outline of the sections you will include in your final report
- The type of assessment you intend to conduct

- References or sources of evidence that will be used
The assignment must be submitted on or before the due date.
