By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

•Analyze Interdependencies: Identify and map the critical linkages between Water, Energy, Food, and Ecosystems (WEFE) and how they rely on core infrastructure (transport, communications).
•Assess Cascading Risks: Evaluate how climate-induced disruptions in one sector (e.g., energy failure) trigger domino effects across other sectors and escalate financial losses.
•Quantify Fiscal Impact: Utilize analytical frameworks to estimate the potential shock of infrastructure failure on national budgets and economic stability.
•Integrate Nexus Thinking: Move beyond siloed sectoral planning to develop integrated strategies that account for climate change and ecosystem services.
•Develop Resilience Strategies: Formulate actionable policy recommendations and Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) strategies to strengthen infrastructure and fiscal preparedness.

This course employs a participatory, adult-learning approach to ensure concepts are practical and applicable.

• Interactive Lectures: Expert-led sessions introducing key concepts, frameworks, and global best practices.
• Case Study Analysis: Deep dives into real-world examples (both failures and success stories) of nexus planning and disaster response.
• Simulation Exercises: The Cascading Failure Simulation: A tabletop exercise where participants must manage a simulated disaster that starts in one sector (e.g., a flood hitting a power plant) and respond to the cascading effects on water supply, transport, and the national budget.
• Peer-to-Peer Learning: Facilitated discussions where government officials, insurers, and development practitioners share challenges and solutions from their respective sectors.
• Group Projects: Participants will work in multi-disciplinary teams to apply the "Nexus Lens" to a hypothetical national development plan.

• Government ministries & departments
• DRF practitioners
• Insurance sectors
• Development institutions
