Generating more and better quality of employment is a common challenge faced by the countries world over. The challenge is more pronounced in case of developing countries with large informal sector and with problems of unemployment and underemployment. To face these challenges, governments are putting increasing emphasis on enhancing the skills of its people in general and that of workers in particular to increase their employability and to facilitate them to get decent employment.

The programme is intended to familarise the participants with issues related to ‘climate change and livelihood’ by focusing on how climate change impacts poor people’s livelihoods, their coping mechanisms and alternative adaption strategies.
