Applications Open for the Latin America and Caribbean UNFCCC CASTT Adaptation Academy
We are excited to announce that applications to participate in the Latin America and Caribbean regional UNFCCC CASTT Adaptation Academy are now being accepted.
The deadline to apply is 30 August, and the online training dates will be 27 September - 1 October. The course will take place live from 8:00-10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time each day (total of 10 hours in the program). Please apply here.
Selected candidates will be informed of their acceptance in mid-September.
The Latin America and Caribbean course is organized in partnership between the UN climate change secretariat, AGWA, and Oregon State University. This one-week online course provides an opportunity for early- and mid-career adaptation professionals from the LAC region to participate in a training program to prepare their climate vulnerability and adaptation assessments within the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement.
The course is part of the broader CASTT Adaptation Academy initiative — a partnership between the UNFCCC secretariat, AGWA, Asian Institute of Technology, Korea Environment Institute, Oregon State University, and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education. Courses focused on Africa/Europe (27 September - 1 October) and the Asia-Pacific region (11-15 October) are also scheduled to take place this year. Applications for all courses are currently open.
