3.1 Critical analysis of the issue (400 words)
Guidance: The critical analysis is a 400-word critical literature review based on in depth use of selected readings from this week's TRP. You should show what is important to you by how you use your references rather than expressing your own opinion directly. We are looking for depth of understanding. We recommend use of 5-7 TRP resources for your answer each week.Thinking about what can go wrong (for example how communities are flooded without adaptation measures or supply chains collapse with extreme weather), as well as the best practice you have learned through your study can help you think through your answer. Remember that including evidence from the best practice case studies included within the teaching can help you support the point you are making. You may find including specific additional research on your sector or region helpful this week.
3.2 Current Status
Guidance: How does your organisation currently respond to this issue? What do you do already? (75 words)
3.3 Recommendations
Guidance: Use extended bullet points to outline your top three recommendations for your organisation. Your recommendations should be based on your learning this week and include specific points (referenced), that you could apply to your organisation. What could your organisation do to improve its practice? Try to include positive ideas for change rather than just doing less harm. Ideas from within this week's case studies are likely to be useful here. (150 words in total)
