Climate change impacts the whole globe in many sectors such as human health, agriculture, forest ecosystem, water resources, and coastal areas. Developing countries, in particular, may have more impacts due to having less potential both in economic ability to prevent or mitigate climate change and also in basic knowledge to overcome or to have a better understanding about climate change.

The concept of adaptation, adaptive capacity, vulnerability, resilience, exposures and sensitivity are interrelated and have a wide range of applications to global change science that also vary by the phenomena of interest and time scale.

Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, has foreseen that climate change will be an enormous critical issue for scientists, politicians and the human system. Thus, this training and workshop has been designed to be a wakeup call for humans to take responsibility of saving our world, sharing knowledge and data and setting up a platform of possibility of creating a climate change adaptation network.
