课程语种: 英语
中文简介:
材料以PowerPoint演示文稿的形式呈现,共6节。幻灯片附带的活动在此介绍。幻灯片构成了提出理论并将其与关键文献联系起来的基础。许多地方都提供了案例研究中如何应用该理论的例子,这些例子通常来自讲师参与并与南部非洲地区相关的工作。建议在其他情况下使用此材料的教师利用当地的例子来支持理论讨论。课程目标:1.了解脆弱性2的理论概念。评估脆弱性的方法概述3。了解适应气候变化的概念和应用。这一为期4周的单元是开普敦大学环境与地理科学系可持续性与环境(EGS 3021F)第三年课程的一部分。本课程介绍了脆弱性的概念并探讨了脆弱性的起源,借鉴了三种不同的概念方法,即风险/危害、政治经济/生态和生态弹性。然后,它将研究进行脆弱性评估的不同方法。在理论和方法部分的基础上,重点阐述了为什么脆弱性概念在环境变化领域具有重要意义,并着重于气候变化。在国际评估科学的过程中,探讨了应对气候变化的材料,以及南非实践中脆弱性和适应的实例。
课程简介: The material is presented in the form of powerpoint presentations for 6 sections. Activities to accompany the slides are presented here. The slides form the basis of presenting the theory and linking it to key literature. Examples are provided in many places of how the theory is applied in case studies, often from work that the lecturer has been involved in and relevant to the southern African region. It is suggested that teachers who use this material in other contexts draw on local examples to support the theoretical discussions. Course objectives: 1. understand theoretical concepts of vulnerability 2. overview of what methods to use to assess vulnerability 3. understanding of the concept and application of adaptation to climate change. This 4 week module on vulnerability to environmental change is part of a third year course called Sustainability and the Environment (EGS 3021F) in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Science , University of Cape Town. The course introduces the concept of vulnerability and explores its origin, drawing on three different conceptual approaches namely Risk/hazard, Political economy/ecology and Ecological resilience. It then looks at different methods for undertaking vulnerability assessments. Building on the theory and method sections it focuses on why the concept of vulnerability is important in the field of environmental change with a focus on climate change. The international process of assessing the science is explored followed by material addressing adaptation to climate change and examples of vulnerability and adaptation in practice in South Africa.
关 键 词: 环境与地理科学; 气候变化; 可持续性
