2. Discuss vulnerability assessment and mapping, its importance in informing CCA initiatives and the steps it involves;
3. Enumerate and describe the tools to use in engaging communities to participate in CCA initiatives; and
4. Explain the economics of climate change by discussing how to evaluate the impacts of climate change in the economy as well as how to conduct an economic analysis of adaptation.
