Exploring coastal Nature-based Solutions for climate adaptation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The short course is designed to foster hands-on expertise, deepen conceptual understanding, and promote teamwork, empowering participants to successfully implement Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in diverse real-world scenarios. Participants will take part in a comprehensive program that includes process-based learning lectures, and hands-on field excursions led by experts across multiple disciplines, including coastal dynamics, social sciences, and climate adaptation. The curriculum covers a wide array of NbS approaches, such as coastal risk and management, risk communication, ecological restoration, and community-based adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectives of the Course<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Capacitate participants to implement more sustainable coastal NbS<\/strong> in real-world contexts through science-based concepts, hands-on exercises, and collaborative discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deepen understanding of NbS principles<\/strong>, through a socio-ecological perspective, integrating insights from diverse disciplines to effectively address environmental challenges in an equitable, just, and inclusive manner for coastal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Early career researchers (MSc and PhD) from environmental sciences, geography, geosciences or biological sciences, and coastal managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Course will be held at the University of Algarve (Campus of Gambelas), located in Faro (South Portugal). The University is located 5 km from Faro city centre and is well connected by buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faro has an airport with a vast net of connections to different European cities (many of which through low-cost flight services).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field visits will take place at the Ria Formosa natural park, a beautiful coastal lagoon, at the doorstep of the University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
