WHAT IS THE WALKER ACADEMY?
Embedded within the Walker Institute is The Walker Academy, our interdisciplinary training programme. The Walker Academy offers a range of immersive and participative courses to support the learning of individuals from a range of disciplines, NGOs, government, and the private sector. The Academy’s mission is to empower others to understand and apply climate information as well as to assess the risks posed by climate change through scenario building and risk analysis. We arm the next generation of researchers with ‘climate to policy and impact’ literacy through a systems thinking approach to understand complex interconnections across the components of the climate system.
