About CCB
The Consortium for Capacity Building (CCB) is a program within the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU).
CCB focuses on human and institutional capacity building related to climate-society-environment interactions. Its primary focus of concern is enhancing the use and value of climate and climate-related (weather, water, disaster, etc.) information for the betterment of societies and the well-being of individuals. The program explores the many ways that climate- and weather-related issues influence human activities and how human activities can, in turn, affect those issues.
CCB highlights existing and pursues new, innovative multidisciplinary opportunities that link the physical, biological, social sciences and the humanities. A central activity of CCB is Climate Affairs. The Affairs template consists of a set of concentrations: Science, Impacts, Policy & Law, Politics, Economics, and Ethics & Equity. The template is designed to foster multidisciplinary education, training and research.
