ANALYSIS OF CLIMATE RISK MINIMIZATION STRATEGIES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION

 

Annotation. The relevance of the study is driven by the increasing impact of climate change on the reliability and safety of engineering infrastructure, which creates a demand for transformation in the system of training technical specialists. The aim of the work is to identify, systematize, and conduct a comparative analysis of existing strategies for integrating the climate agenda into engineering education as a tool for mitigating climate risks. The methodological framework of the study includes an analysis of educational and methodological documentation from leading Russian and foreign universities, as well as a case study method applied to educational programs in the field of sustainable development. As a result of the research, a climate risk relevance matrix for various engineering specializations has been developed, reflecting the relationship between the nature of natural hazards and the required professional competencies. A classification of strategies for incorporating climate issues into the educational process is proposed, including adaptive, modular, and transformational approaches, along with an analysis of their advantages and limitations. The pedagogical tools used to develop climate competence are identified and systematized, including computational and analytical tasks with variable climate parameters, project-based learning, and digital simulations based on BIM technologies. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of a typology of strategies for mitigating climate risks through the adaptation of higher technical education content. The theoretical significance consists of refining the concept of "climate competence of an engineer" and its structure. The practical significance is determined by the possibility of using the obtained results in updating core professional educational programs and developing educational and methodological packages for disciplines aimed at training engineers capable of designing climate-resilient infrastructure.

Keywords: climate risks, engineering education, mitigation, climate change adaptation, climate-resilient design, competency-based approach, educational strategies.
