This document maps the flow of information and knowledge between stakeholder groups in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation as part of the KNOW4DRR project. It summarizes the mapping process conducted in Year 1 of the project across 11 case studies of different disasters. The mapping examined information transfer over time stages of the disaster management cycle and between public sector, scientists, private sector, and civil society stakeholders. It aimed to identify strengths and weaknesses in how information is communicated and whether it reaches its intended targets and influences decision making.

Disaster Management Systems: Building Capacity for Developing Countries and ...Connie White
Some societies are more disaster prone than others due to their geographic location and the benefits provided by it. Man has co-existed in this sort of high risk/high return relationship with mother nature throughout history. Poorer societies tend to pay a higher price both in lives taken and damage – left with many secondary and equally devastating disasters that are sure to come. We know that for every $1 USD put into preventative measures, we save ~$7 that would have gone into post-disaster recovery and rebuilding efforts. There are many international agencies working to support a variety of needs in these grief stricken areas to help them build capacity and to help these societies better prepare for and respond to the disasters they will face. These efforts are guided by the Millennium Project Goals outlined in 2000. A lot has changed since then with respect to technology, mobile devices and humanitarianism. The objective of this paper is exploit how current efforts are creating capacity on the individual, organizational and 'enabling environment' levels. This paper explores the notion that a more concerted effort can be made at building Information and Communication Disaster Management Capacity in developing countries who are most susceptible due to proximity and to a lack of funds. A 'proof of concept' is provided
A presentation that looks how outdoor education coordinators communicated risk to parents and how the important area of risk perception research can influence how the messages are received.

The Climate Knowledge Brokers Manifesto - free full versionreeep
The Climate Knowledge Brokers Manifesto was developed in a collaborative process by the Climate Knowledge Brokers Group (CKB), involving interviews with 80 climate knowledge brokers and users of climate-related knowledge, and an editorial conference among the 17-strong author team. It sets out seven key principles for how climate knowledge brokers can have greater impact through collaboration and the use of open data and is a call for joint action to meet the massive climate knowledge challenges ahead The Manifesto (also available as a free pdf) includes an analysis of user needs, characteristics of the climate knowledge broker role in responding to those user needs, and how the CKB Group improves the effectiveness of climate knowledge brokering through collaboration.

In an extreme event or major disaster, very often there are both alternative actions that might be considered and far more requests for actions than can be executed immediately. The relative desirability of each option for action could be a collaborative expression of a significant number of emergency managers and experts trying to manage the most desirable alternatives at any given time, in real time. Delphi characteristics can satisfy these needs given that anyone can vote or change their vote on any two options, and voting and scaling are used to promote a group understanding. Further utilized with Thurstone’s Law of Comparative Judgment, a group decision or the range of acceptability a group is willing to consent to, can be calculated and utilized as a means of producing the best decision. A ubiquitous system for expeditious real-time decision making by large virtual teams in emergency
response environments is described.
Presentation to National Academy of Science workshop on Public Response to Alerts and Warnings Using Social Media. I argued that the citizen science model, in which volunteers contribute to substantive scientific research, is a great model for how to involve the general public in making accurate, actionable social media posts (Twitter, Twitvid, Facebook) that first responders can use to direct their efforts in a disaster.
A Holistic Approach to Evaluating Social Media's Successful Implementation in...Connie White
As emergency management agencies and organizations implement social media and web technology to support crisis information and communication efforts, many question if present strategies are beneficial. This is especially true if social media is being implemented for the first time or has not been experienced in a live disaster. Studies have been conducted providing information on a variety of interactions between Social Media and Emergency Management (SMEM). However, few have taken a formal scientific approach as a means of measurement providing a 'Comprehensive Performance Metric.' Performance metrics need to have consistency while providing room for implementing unique measurement criteria for individualized efforts. We offer a research design using field studies of real world cases, evaluating rural and metropolitan areas. The result produces a set of 'Best Practices' through implementation. By offering a means of measuring success, SMEM can continue to evolve by using a methodologically sound approach using social media.

Big Ideas, Visionaries, Amateur Forecasters and Computer Developers Welcome at UNDP Climate Information for a Resilient Africa Event
What’s It All About
Innovation, out-of-the-box-thinking, big ideas, and smart applications of technology have the potential to significantly impact the way weather information is shared across Africa. And in a world where information is power – and climate change is producing more severe storms and temperature fluctuations that affect vulnerable African communities – access to accurate and timely weather forecasts can work toward reducing poverty, empowering rural communities and saving lives.
With the goal of creating an innovation-driven crowd-sourced space for big thinkers and techno-visionaries to come together, the UNDP’s Programme on Climate Information for Resilient Development in Africa (CIRDA) is inviting developers, mobile application gurus, students and developers to this three-day hackathon and innovations incubator.
The Climate Action Hackathon will run in parallel with a multinational UNDP workshop addressing “The Last Mile: Saving lives, improving livelihoods and increasing resiliency with tailored weather information services for a changing climate.”
Participants will have access to leaders in meteorology, technology, sustainable development and communications. They will work individually or in teams to create mobile applications, technology solutions or data-crunching systems that address Africa’s persistent challenges in adapting to climate change, and sharing early warnings and accurate climate information across the continent.
The Climate Action Hackathon Challenge
• Create prototype mobile and information-system-based applications and technological solutions to share actionable weather and climate information with a variety of stakeholders, sectors and end-users.
• Connect technology with people to bridge the last mile.
• Build scalable systems that react to more frequent storms, increase in lightning, erratic weather patterns and long-term climate change.
• Create technological solutions that are built for Africa and solve local challenges.
• Design and develop next-generation applications to improve on existing systems and methodologies to use climate information and reach end users.
• Leverage existing information, networks and human capacity to seed innovation.
• Communicate existing climate information in an innovative and easy-to-understand manner to catalyze action, improve productivity, save lives and empower end-users.

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.
"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.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

18. The
other
stakeholder
pyramid
There
is
a
second
knowledge
flow
pyramid
for
“stakeholder
communica1on”.
It
is
upside
down!
Much
data
at
the
top:
public
sector
and
scien1sts.
Lower
down
-‐
Private
Sector
and
Civil
Society:
the
delivery
of
what
higher
level
stakeholders
consider
useful
informa1on
to
these
more
vulnerable
stakeholders
gets
less
and
less.
19. Civil
society
the
loser,
and
an
opportunity
Informa1on
flow
and
knowledge
development
has
the
least
impact
on
those
who
need
it
most:
the
most
vulnerable
and
cri1cal
sectors
that
needing
preven1ve
ac1on,
(life-‐line
services,
industry,
for
example).
There
is
insufficient
communica1on
to,
and
insufficient
considera1on
of
the
household
and
the
community,
their
individual
engagement.
This
translates
into
an
undervalued
apprecia1on
that
community
and
households
have
capacity,
poten1al,
local
knowledge,
social
structures,
and
responsibili1es.
Insufficient
listening
to
civil
society
and
learning
about
local
prac1ce.
Civil
society
is
the
loser
in
the
informaAon
exchange
process.
Exchange
and
capacity
building
should
be
more
holisAc.
20. More
inter-‐disciplinary
and
holisi1c
effort
• The
exchange
of
knowledge
cannot
be
considered
in
isola1on,
just
as
DRR
and
CCA
must
not
be
compartmentalised.
• The
idea
of
dis1nct
specialist
disciplines
is
outmoded.
• There
are
signs
of
more
inter-‐disciplinary
work
about
DRR
and
CCA,
and
this
is
a
necessity.
• To
be
opera1ve,
knowledge
must
be
linked
to
an
enabling
environment,
that
combines
informa1on,
ins1tu1onal
capacity,
financial
systems
and
capacity
building
including
technical
knowledge.
To
consider
knowledge
transfer
for
disaster
risk
reduc1on
without
doing
this
is
a
route
to
failure.
21. More
knowledge
or
more
uncertainty?
• Changes
in
context,
such
as
urbanisa1on,
and
change
in
weather
and
climate
reduce
faith
in
old
&
local
knowledge
• Lack
of
knowledge
on
what
to
do
about
DRR
and
CCA
ac1ons
generates
uncertainty.
• Uncertainty
leads
to
lack
of
ac1on
before
and
at
cri1cal
1mes
in
the
disaster
management
cycle.
The
mapping
process
has
highlighted
the
need
to
improve
the
transforma1on
of
informa1on
into
contemporary
and
applicable
knowledge
that
leads
to
ac1on
