TrainCLIM

TrainCLIM software enables a wide range of potential users from school teachers and students to environmentalists and local governments to gain a broader understanding of the real world implications of climate change to local areas and societies.

TrainCLIM is a software-supported training package. It consists of a hard-wired (as opposed to an open-framework) software program and supportive manuals, training modules and exercises. For the purpose of training simulations, the models and materials are designed around a ‘hands-on' tool based on a fictitious place for learning about climate change, adaptation and vulnerability assessments. It includes an integrated toolbox: a climate and sea level scenario generator, data browser, and extreme event analyser that can facilitate the teaching of a diverse range of concepts and methods. Training modules are designed to expand peoples' thinking through the integration of concepts that have both environmental and developmental ramifications in a climate changed world.
