This document provides an overview of quantitative climate risk analysis and adaptation option appraisal. It summarizes a case study on multi-hazard risk mitigation in San Salvador that utilized this methodology. The case study involved quantifying current and future risks from tropical cyclones, floods, and landslides under climate and socioeconomic scenarios through 2040. Risk was assessed for eight asset categories and population. Potential adaptation options were then evaluated based on their ability to reduce risk and costs.

CHALLENGES FACED BY FARMERS DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGESEaseMyTrip.com
One of the major challenges facing human is to provide a good standard of living for present and future generations: proper food, water, energy, safe shelter and a healthy environment. But, global environmental issues such as land degradation, loss of biodiversity, ozone layer depletion along with human-induced climate change, threatens our ability to meet the basic human needs.
Climate Change & Its Implications to Livelihoods and Economic Development in...Dr. Joshua Zake
This paper was presented at the Climate Change workshop for Trocaire Partners in Lira Hotel, Lira, May 2008. The purpose of this briefing paper is to raise awareness about climate change, its social and economic development impacts in Uganda and hence the need for urgent actions by key stakeholders (including Government, Development Partners, Civil Society, Policy Makers, Political Leaders, Private Sector, Academia, Research Institutions, Cultural and Faith Based Leaders and Communities among others) towards adaptation and mitigation of the impacts of climate change at various levels. The paper defines key terms and concepts in the context of climate change; discuses and analyses the implications of climate change to livelihoods and economic development in light of current relevant policies and programs at International and National levels. Local and International examples are used to justify the implications of climate change. It also gives possible appropriate strategies at policy and practice level for consideration in addressing the impacts of climate change in Uganda.
Changes in climate affects the land and farming immensely. Due to this,the crop growth is affected and results in inadequacy of seasonal crop outcome which does not meet the demands of the living beings. Hence, Climatic change has become a chief issue to be looked forth in order to prevent further threatenings to the livelihood. I have made a gist of the existing issue on climate changes and the insecurities of food resources in India.
“Change is the Law of Nature”.Climate Change is a reality. It has changed in Past, is changing in Present and will change in Future. The variation and shifts in weather conditions over space and time of different scales and magnitude resulting into
changes of Climatic Type is defined as Climate Change.
The factor that affect climate are,Continental drift,Variation in the earth’s orbit,Plate tectonics,Volcanic activity,Ocean currents,Greenhouse Gases,Atmospheric Aerosols etc. It effect climate in different ways such as Higher Temperatures,Changing Landscapes,Wildlife/Ecosystem at Risk,Ocean acidification /Rising Seas level,Increased Risk of Drought, Fire and Floods,Intensified Storms and Increased Storm Damages,Illness and Disease,Economic Losses,Agriculture Productivity/Food Security etc.
Disaster Management in Bangladesh: Risk Reduction and ChallengesSajid Karim
Presentation will address the following
Disaster Vulnerability of Bangladesh
Disaster Management Mechanism in Bangladesh
Disaster Risk Reduction Strategies of Bangladesh
Challenges and Recommendations
Agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation in order to meet the related challenges of achieving food security and responding to climate change. Projections based on population growth and food consumption patterns indicate that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70 percent to meet demands by 2050. Most estimates also indicate that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural productivity, production stability and incomes in some areas that already have high levels of food insecurity. Developing climate-smart agriculture is thus crucial to achieving future food security and climate change goals. This seminar describe an approach to deal with the above issue viz. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and also examines some of the key technical, institutional, policy and financial responses required to achieve this transformation. Building on cases from the field, the seminar try to outlines a range of practices, approaches and tools aimed at increase the resilience and productivity of agricultural product systems, while also reducing and removing emissions. A part of the seminar elaborates institutional and policy options available to promote the transition to climate-smart agriculture at the smallholder level. Finally, the paper considers current gaps and makes innovative suggestion regarding the combined use of different sources, financing mechanism and delivery systems.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.
Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

• Most of the selected measures are cost-efficient
• All measures combined are not enough to mitigate total climate risk
• Efficient measures for mitigating asset damage are also efficient in
reducing affected persons
• There is a high spatial variability of benefits between different

In what do you as decision makers, policy makers, practitioners see the
utility of such approaches? Could you use an ECA study?
What kind of information do you need, in what format, concreteness,
etc.?
What are drawbacks? Where do you see difficulties / limits? Feasibility in
your setting?
What are alternatives according to your experiences?
39. When is an ECA study useful?
1) What is the potential climate-related damage over the coming
decades?
2) How much of that damage can be averted, using what type of CCA
measures?
3) What investments will be required to fund those measures - and will
the benefits of these investments outweigh the costs?
