Community-based adaptation (CBA) empowers local communities to plan for and cope with climate change impacts based on their priorities, knowledge, and needs. In Bangladesh, CBA projects focus on drought, flooding, water scarcity, and natural resource management. The CBA program builds community adaptive capacity and reduces climate risks by working with local people and influencing policy. However, CBA faces challenges in attracting sufficient long-term funding and integrating local projects into national adaptation efforts.

Examples to be featured include ecosystem-based approaches, community based adaptation, responses to heat waves and ways to deal with shifting growing seasons in agriculture. The session will also feature practical experiences from countries in addressing issues at multiple scales. This is the first of two sessions on this topic. The second is under session 8.1.
Community Based Adaptation as a Pillar of National Adaptation Efforts NAP Events
Presented by: Atiq Rahman
SESSION VI: PLENARY –PILLARS FOR NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLANS
The session will examine a few case studies of how a particular issue of prime importance for a country can be the main entry point or pillar of the adaptation work, after which all other issues would then be considered. Three examples will be covered. Madagascar is a well-known centre of biological biodiversity. Addressing climate change through adaptation must consider the dynamics of this biodiversity including closely related stress factors such as poverty, pressure on land due to deforestation, shifting viability of the main cash crops when climatic conditions change, etc. Two other examples are on taking a regional approach to the assessment and development of adaptation responses in the context of hydro-energy. In other cases, a focus on community-based adaptation has been very successful, as is the case for Bangladesh.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

2. Definition of Community based Adaptation
• Community-based adaptation to climate change is a community-led process,
based on
• communities’ priorities,
• needs,
• knowledge and capacities
that should empower people to plan for and cope with the impacts of climate
change.
3. Aims of Community based Adaptation
• Community Based Adaptation aims to develop initiatives build on the
knowledge and decision of affected peoples,
• with strong participating methods together with local initiatives and
empowerment can make them more resilient.
It has also received attention at international level such as UNFCCC
conferences of the parties but in order to inadequate reporting system, it is
difficult to determine how much climate finance is directed at CBA.
4. Research Country
Bangladesh
• Why do I Chose Bangladesh?
• It is flat and low-lying topography on the other hand, location on the coast at
the top of the Bay of Bengal, which make it more vulnerable to climate
change.
• Dr Saleemul Huq, the senior Fellow at International Institute for
Environment and Development, mentioned Bangladesh as the adaptation
capital of the world at seventh International Conference on Community
Based Adaptation to Climate Change.
5. Research Country
Bangladesh
• The CBA projects in Bangladesh focuses on
• drought,
• floodwater,
• lack of fresh water and agriculture
• as well as community-level natural resource management activities
6.
7. CBA in Bangladesh
• The CBA programme in Bangladesh is trying to build community-level adaptive
capacity,
• to reduce climate change risks that the local people face,
• and in turn to influence policy and institutional arenas
• to facilitate sustainable community management of natural resources in the face of
the above predicted climate impacts.
CBA starts identifying either most vulnerable poor communities or communities those
ask for assistance.
8. Disaster Risk Reduction
• An integrated CBA/ DRR approach combines traditional local knowledge
with innovative strategies that has been adopted to address current
vulnerability whereas building adaptive capacity to face new and dynamic
challenges.
• By this process, local Government representatives and communities
increased their awareness of climate change and the risk of it as well as adapt
some adaptation plans and activities. It has developed and is continuous
updating has created a guide to the field-testing of community prioritized
activities by the good practice in adaptation and DRR.
9. Finance for Community based Adaptation
• The community-based adaptation is a five-year United Nations Development
Programme global initiative funded by the Global Environmental Facility
(GFF) within the Small Grants Programme (SGP) delivery mechanism.
• The eighth International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation was
held in Kathmandu based on financing Local Adaptation and presenters
focus on the deficiencies of adaptation funding at a local level.
10. Kathmandu declaration
• It has designed to provide guidance to
• intergovernmental,
• national and
• local funding bodies
• to direct adaptation funding to those most vulnerable.
11. Kathmandu declaration
• By this declaration, it mentioned that the global community specially
developed countries must scale up public finance and the Climate Change
Fund must deliver on promise for a 50-50 fund split into adaptation and
mitigation and CBA.
• It has also mentioned national government to ensure coordination with
public sector adaptation and engage non-state actors in local finance.
12. Challenges for the Community Based Adaptation
• The challenges now Bangladesh is facing is to tackle present changes that
already being faced as a result local population often feel a race against time.
• CBA’s focus on small scale, local and project based adaptation, which may
limit the potential to provide adaptation support to the massive populations
of environmentally vulnerable populations in developing countries.
13. Challenges for the Community Based
Adaptation
• It should focus on local needs to higher levels of decision-making and
integrate into broader adaptation and development schemes so that attract
donor funding and line up projects with adaptation supporting requirement.
• Corrupted political system and lack of political will, lack of coordination and
lack of collaboration between and within government agencies and
implementing NGOs difficulties for the planning development.
14. Conclusion
• CBA creates awareness of climate change and its impacts where the rates of literacy
in the local community are low.
• It is important to use local information and knowledge rather formal presentations.
• If there is absence of historic scientific information and data, they can use
memories and experience of older community members as a source of information.
UNDP also helping the national policy makers better understand local vulnerabilities
and needs, field test initiatives and learn valuable lessons that can improve the
effectiveness of national adaptation policies.
