An online training programme is delivered supporting Abkhazia's Institute of Ecology (IoE) as part of UNDP's IRCCR project. The IoE technical team is equiped to model climate-induced geohazards in the Abkhazia context, concentrating on riverbed erosion, mudflow formation, and landslide susceptibility, using contemporary, cloud-based modeling platforms and open-source data. Delivery is remote, combining a structured series of online training sessions with on-demand coaching that helps IoE staff apply the new modeling methods within their long-term flood risk assessment and mitigation work.
The objective is to strengthen IoE’s in-house modeling capability for climate risks and geohazards in Abkhazia — particularly mudflow and landslide susceptibility — by designing and delivering targeted online training and providing follow-on coaching, so the institute can independently apply these modeling approaches in its flood risk assessments and mitigation planning.
