Short summary
Climate change is one of the major challenges of our society, and therefore we present a climate risk training for tertiary students and practitioners. The training uses a hands-on method and was tested with five independent groups in Brazil. We find that the application of a mapping exercise supports learning about climate risk, as well as the development of problem-solving skills. The proposed training enables the teaching of climate risk in stand-alone courses and professional development.
