Qualifications Pack For Climate Change and Risk Mitigation Manager

Keywords /Terms Description

Adaptation Actions in response to actual or projected climate change and impacts that lead to a reduction in risks or a realization of benefits. A distinction can be made between a planned or anticipatory approach to adaptation (i.e. risk treatments) and an approach that relies on unplanned or reactive adjustments.

Adaptive capacity The ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or cope with the consequences.

Climate The composite of surface weather conditions such as temperature, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, humidity, sunshine and winds, averaged over a period of time ranging from months to thousands of years. The classical period for averaging, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization, is 30 years.

Climate change Any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity.

Climate change mitigation

Response measures that reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere or enhance their sinks, aimed at reducing their atmospheric concentrations and therefore the probability of reaching a given level of climate change.

Climate scenario A coherent, plausible but often simplified description of a possible future state of the climate. A climate scenario should not be viewed as a prediction of the future climate. Rather, it provides a means of understanding the potential impacts of climate change, and identifying the potential risks and opportunities to an organization created by an uncertain future climate. A ‘climate change scenario’ can be defined as the difference between a climate scenario and the current climate.

Climate projection A projection of the response of the climate system to scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions or atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Climate projections are often based upon simulations of the climate system by computer based mathematical models. Climate projections depend on assumptions about emission rates and concentrations and response of the climate system to changes in these variables and can therefore be distinguished from climate predictions.

Climate variability Variations or deviations from the mean state of the climate. The climate system has natural, internal variability but variability could be affected by external factors driving climate change such as changes in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases.

Consequences Risk is often expressed as the product of the consequences flowing from an event and the frequency of the event. In this manual, we use the term “impacts” for consistency with the terminology of climate change.

Extreme event Weather conditions that are rare for a particular place and/or time such as an intense storm or heat wave.

Global warming An increase in the global average surface temperature due to natural or human caused factors.

Impact Something that logically or naturally follows from an action or condition related to climate change or climate variability.

Qualifications Pack For Climate Change and Risk Mitigation Manager

Organization A company, corporation, firm, enterprise, or institution, or part thereof, whether incorporated or not, public or private, that has its own functions and administration.

Risk The chance of injury or loss defined as a product of the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the consequence such as an adverse effect to health, property, the environment, or other things of value. The level of risk is also affected by how it is perceived by stakeholders.

Risk analysis The use of information to identify hazards and to estimate the chance for, and severity of, injury or loss to individuals or populations, property, the environment, or other things of value.

Risk assessment The overall process of risk analysis and risk evaluation.

Risk estimation The activity of estimating the frequency or probability and consequence of risk scenarios, including a consideration of the uncertainty of the estimates.

Risk evaluation The process by which risks are examined in terms of costs and benefits, and evaluated in terms of acceptability of risk considering the needs, issues, and concerns of stakeholder.

Risk management The systematic application of management policies, procedures, and practices to the tasks of analyzing, evaluating, controlling, and communicating about risk issues.

Risk scenario A defined sequence of events with an associated frequency or probability and consequences.

Stakeholders Those people and organizations who may affect, be affected by, or perceive themselves to be affected by a decision, activity or risk.

Vulnerability

The degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes. Vulnerability is the function of the character, size, and rate of climate variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive capacity.

Qualification Pack

AGR/Q6501 Sector Skill Council

Agriculture

Guidelines for Assessment: 1. Criteria for assessment for each Qualification Pack will be created by the Sector Skill Council. Each Performance Criteria (PC) will be assigned marks proportional to its importance in NOS. SSC will also lay down proportion of marks for Theory and Skills Practical for each PC. 2. The assessment for the theory part will be based on knowledge bank of questions created by the SSC. 3. Assessment will be conducted for all compulsory NOS, and where applicable, on the selected elective/option NOS/set of NOS. 4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique question papers for theory part for each candidate at each examination/training center (as per assessment criteria below). 4. Individual assessment agencies will create unique evaluations for skill practical for every student at each examination/training center based on this criterion. 5. To pass the Qualification Pack , every trainee should score a minimum of 70% of aggregate marks to successfully clear the assessment. 6. In case of unsuccessful completion, the trainee may seek reassessment on the Qualification Pack.
