The document discusses the proposed Southern Hemisphere Adaptation Collaboratory. The collaboratory would (1) provide a modular decision support portal with information and tools to support climate adaptation planning and decision-making across sectors in Southern Hemisphere countries, and (2) track levels of adaptation activity. It would include future climate and socioeconomic scenarios, guides for using scenarios, a suite of assessment and planning tools, documentation of adaptation options for key sectors, and a mechanism for identifying and tracking actual adaptation responses. The collaboratory aims to support adaptation readiness and decision-making for governments and societies in the region.

C1.04: GOOS Biology and Ecosystems Panel - In a complex space can we fit a si...Blue Planet Symposium
There is no single model that describes how marine biodiversity and ecosystems are fairing or predict how they will change in the future under increasing anthropogenic pressures. Thus there is no unique set of Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) for biological components of the ecosystem that will satisfy the scientific understanding needed to support and monitor management actions. Yet there is a need to come to international agreement on a set of variables that can be developed globally to support advanced and advancing countries and international conventions in understanding and managing the marine environment. The DPSIR framework is a commonly accepted framework used to identify the information needs to understand and manage human impacts on the environment and provides one high level model that can guide the process to identify EOVs. It is a complex space with many existing initiatives that we need to integrate with and build on. In this talk we are seeking input and feedback on our early progress in filling in this framework:
D what are the societal questions, sectoral trends, national and international obligations and that Drive the need to monitor marine biodiversity and ecosystem health
P what are the human Pressures affecting the environment that are or will impact marine biodiversity and ecosystem health
S what are the existing initiatives that could be built on to measure the State of the marine environment
I what are the priority Impacts on the marine environment that need to be monitored and how well do existing initiatives address those needs – what are the key gaps
R which monitoring information is most likely to be used to help society Respond to identified impacts

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

2. A Collaboratory - background
1. Adaptation is highly context specific at multiple levels of
governance
– broad general approaches do not satisfy practitioners
– need impacts from climate change scenarios in context of other
changes e.g. population trends, development, etc
2. Adaptation options often highly local
– some opportunity to generalise within specific decision areas such as– some opportunity to generalise within specific decision areas such as
the water domain or local government coastal infrastructure decisions
– practitioners need to learn across locations but be local
3. Investors need to assess whether adaptation investments are
effective
– But monitoring adaptation action is proving difficult.
• Many approaches
– to delivering more local information, supporting local adaptation
planning processes and even action, and perhaps monitoring, but...

14. A Collaboratory - 2
Proposed purpose
– To provide a modular decision support portal for climate adaptation
decision-making in the Southern Hemisphere, as a one stop shop for future
scenarios, sectoral adaptation options, tools for adaptation planning and
decision-making, and an insight into levels of adaptation activity.
– Who is it aimed at and why? adaptation decision-makers in government
and society, to support adaptation readiness and track action
Proposed outputs
a. a well-recognised web-based portal for adaptation which supplies a
consistent set of background information and tools for adaptation planning
and decision-making, and provides a standardised framework to support
country and sector specific information;
b. a two-way interactive capacity to absorb and make available credible
information about adaptation options for different sectors and
circumstances;
c. the ability to contribute to tracking levels of adaptation responses across
the regions.
15. A Collaboratory - 3
Possible components/scope
i. Well-targeted climate and wider social scenarios of the future, as well
as key locally-resolved national datasets and information on potential
impacts drawn from various sources for each country
ii. Guides for use of scenarios that take account of behavioural aspects,
help with choice of vulnerability methods, etc
iii. Suite of planning tools, such as adaptation planning processes,
economic and other assessment methods, etceconomic and other assessment methods, etc
iv. Two-way interactive documentation of adaptation options for sectors
regarded as key in each participating country, and decision types within
each sector, with capacity for user entry/accreditation/testing
v. Process for identifying and documenting barriers to adaptation, for the
information of other levels of governance, etc
vi. Mechanism for starting to track actual adaptation responses across key
sectors
