Key outcomes included commitments to address inequities in the global scientific community, develop inclusive climate solutions, and provide actionable climate information and early warning systems globally. The climate science community pledged to give equal opportunities to all scientists and prioritize translating observations into actionable climate information.
Western Balkan Countries Assessment of Capacities for Low-carbon and Climate ...UNDP Eurasia
The survey assessed capacities for low-carbon and climate resilient development in Western Balkan countries. It found that while some institutional capacities are in place, further improvements are needed. Specifically:
1) Coordination of climate change policies needs strengthening, as national coordination mechanisms are not fully functional in most countries.
2) Capacities for low-carbon development and reporting on climate actions need enhancing, as few countries have submitted plans like Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions.
3) Financial and human resources for climate actions are lacking, posing a key barrier to implementation. Monitoring and evaluation systems also need strengthening.
The survey concludes regional cooperation could help address gaps, but performance of existing mechanisms needs improving based on
This toolkit is designed to support climate change practitioners in the Pacific islands region to integrate gender into their programmes and projects. It is aimed at climate change professionals working in national governments, non-governmental organisations, regional and international organisations who are involved in managing and implementing climate change programmes.
While many of us are aware that gender does matter for sustainable development and climate change adaptation and mitigation, we may not know clearly how it matters, and what tools are available that can help to assess how it matters. Knowing is also not enough: we must apply this knowledge in a practical way when we design and implement activities, and ensure that we are capturing useful and important information through our monitoring and evaluation frameworks.
This toolkit provides advice at a practical level, to address these needs. The principles and practices proposed in this toolkit are based on many decades of experience in the integration of a gender perspective in sustainable development, natural resources management and disaster preparedness. The toolkit is divided into three parts. This introductory module explains why gender is a critical consideration in climate change programmes, projects and strategies, and clarifies some common misconceptions. Module 2 focuses on the links between gender and climate change in specific sectors (e.g. food security, water and energy); and uses sector-relevant case studies to explain how to take gender into consideration.
It also includes a module on disaster risk reduction recognising that these interventions should be factored into all climate change adaptation programmes and projects. These sector chapters can also be used as stand-alone documents for practitioners to guide their analysis in a specific sector. Module 3 is the ‘how-to’ section and will take you through the different phases of a typical climate change programme/project cycle, identifying potential entry-points for integrating gender in each phase and also includes a generic gender checklist that may be applied to programmes and projects. This toolkit will not make you a gender expert! However, it provides guidance along with links to other resources that can help strengthen your knowledge about gender and climate change.
This document summarizes a workshop on ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The workshop brought together key researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss evidence and economics of ecosystem approaches as well as decision-making tools. Presentations were given on case studies of ecosystem-based projects in India and Indonesia. Discussions focused on how to improve valuation of ecosystem services, operationalize ecosystem approaches, and communicate information to policymakers and communities. The workshop aimed to improve understanding and tools to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of ecosystem-based approaches.
This report summarizes research on climate resilience options for slums and informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. It finds that population density exacerbates flood impacts within the slums. Analysis of rainfall data from four stations shows flooding occurs mainly during two rainy seasons and is associated with extreme short-term rainfall events as well as El Niño rains. Flooding hotspots were identified in all three studied slums. However, non-climatic factors like location in ecologically fragile areas and poor drainage and waste management also increase vulnerability. The report recommends adaptation actions including climate-proofed housing, flood early warning systems, climate-proofed infrastructure, cooperation between organizations, strengthened disaster response institutions, and education on risk reduction.

This document outlines the agenda for a National Project Workshop on January 25, 2012 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The workshop will focus on sharing progress and findings from Phase I of the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience, which involved assessing institutional capacity and raising awareness on climate change in Tajikistan. There will be presentations on the key findings from components related to institutional capacity assessment, awareness raising trainings, and developing roadmaps and milestones. The workshop will allow for discussion of the findings and a wrap-up before concluding.
The document outlines 6 proposed roadmaps for mainstreaming climate change adaptation in Tajikistan. Each roadmap includes a baseline of the current situation, milestones to work towards, and a target outcome. The roadmaps focus on areas like improving data collection and reporting on climate programs, developing a national adaptation plan, integrating adaptation into policies and planning, raising public awareness, strengthening climate education, and building capacity for adaptation work across government agencies and communities.
This document summarizes the findings from a capacity assessment of climate change adaptation in Tajikistan. It identifies several key findings: 1) The government is funding climate work but could better prioritize and publicize efforts. 2) Tajikistan would benefit from a National Climate Change Action Plan and updated legislation. 3) Public awareness of climate change is growing but targeted information is still needed. 4) Stakeholders want diverse capacity building opportunities. 5) Climate change education has multiple goals that need addressing. 6) NGOs should be leveraged more in capacity building activities. The document provides recommendations for each finding to strengthen climate adaptation capacity at national and local levels in Tajikistan.
The document summarizes a participatory scenario development workshop held in Tajikistan to build capacity on climate change impacts and identify adaptation needs. The workshop brought together stakeholders from different regions to discuss observed and projected climate impacts, vulnerabilities, and potential adaptation options. Many of the identified local adaptation needs were found to align with priorities in Tajikistan's national climate adaptation plan. However, larger-scale and additional actions are still needed to improve adaptive capacity. The workshop helped strengthen collaboration between local and regional actors and identify next steps to further assess climate risks and integrate adaptation into development planning.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

1. SUMMARY REPORT
Trainings on climate change and crosscutting areas
16-24 November 2011, State Administration for Hydrometeorology, Dushanbe
Phase I: Technical assistance on institutional capacity assessment and awareness-raising on climate change in Tajikistan
PILOT PROGRAMME FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE (PPCR)
2. SUMMARY REPORT
Trainings on climate change and crosscutting areas
16-24 November 2011, State Administration for Hydrometeorology, Dushanbe
1. Background:
The project on capacity assessment and raising awareness on climate change in Tajikistan is the UNDP
led task for A1 and A3 components of the PPCR (Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience) Phase 1
initiative. The primary objectives of the project is to (i) produce an assessment of Tajikistan’s
institutional, technical and human capacity to mainstream climate change considerations in key policy
areas, with particular focus on the requirements for taking forward the SPRC; and (ii) conduct an initial
awareness raising campaign aimed at building capacity on climate change impacts, vulnerability and
adaptation.
Taking into account the importance of the objectives, UNDP in close cooperation with the PPCR
Secretariat and State Administration for Hydrometeorology conducted a series of one-day trainings on
climate change raising awareness in Tajikistan. The crosscutting topics for the trainings were
encountered during the capacity and awareness assessment exercise, and included journalism, gender,
poverty alleviation, environmental policy and regional planning.
The main goal of the trainings was to strengthen the basic capacity and awareness of the target group on
climate change in general and define the ways of integrating climate change adaptation to the
crosscutting areas. The modules of the trainings included (i) concept of global warming and climate
change, (ii) vulnerability to climate change, (iii) climate change impacts, (iv) adaptation to climate
change impacts, and (v) mainstreaming of climate change in crosscutting areas. Below is the list of
trainings and dates:
Date Training
16 November Climate change and media
17 November Climate change and gender
18 November Climate change and poverty alleviation
22 November Climate change and policy
24 November Climate change and regional planning
2. Trainers:
The training modules were prepared by the UNDP International experts and adjusted/adapted by the
local experts to the national circumstances (i.e. live impacts, adaptation practices and examples from the
Tajikistan case studies and analysis). The trainers were selected out of the leading national experts
dealing with climate change and crosscutting areas in Tajikistan. In particular, the climate change
trainers were from the Committee for environmental protection under the GoT, International Fund for
Saving the Aral Sea (Tajik Branch). In fact, these representatives have a well acknowledged experience
and capacity to work on climate change in Tajikistan. Mr. Makhmadaliev is the lead author of the First

3. and Second National Communication under the UNFCCC, while Mr. Homidov played a key role in
preparing the section on climate change impacts and vulnerabilities. He is the author of multiple articles
dedicated to melting of regional glaciers in the face of global warming. The trainers that led the sessions
on crosscutting areas (mass media, poverty, gender, policy and regional planning) were the national
experts from the local media, NGOs, Institute of strategic research, Parliament.
3. Participants:
In total, 132 participants attended the trainings. This number included 51 representatives from the
governmental agencies, while the rest were from the national and international NGOs and media. On the
other hand, the number of participants, who were from the districts and oblasts (central part and south
part of the country) comprised 29 people out of the total amount. The general gender ratio in the
trainings was 63 females/69 males.
4. Training approach:
The leading approach of the trainings was that each lection session should be followed by the group
work, where participants can develop their skills first in defining the district/area/oblast/jamoat they are
familiar with, then explore climate change impacts and vulnerable sectors and try to provide adaptation
measures, integrating them into planning. On the same hand, some of the participants were mature
enough to provide adaptation measures that are urgently required for the nearest future (3-5 year period)
and long-term future (5 and more years).
5. Overview of the training findings:
The impacts that were commonly identified by all participants were climate-induced floods and
droughts. As the consequences, the trainees tried to interlink these impacts with other socio-economic
consequences as decrease in food production or food insecurity, and, therefore, increase of market
prices and migration, life safety and human health (especially from the water-borne diseases), decline in
economic development (less water – less hydropower production) and flourishing of poverty. The most
prone areas/districts to climate-induced floods and droughts were Southern (Kulyab region, Nurek),
Central (Hissar, Vakhdat, Dushanbe) and Northern Tajikistan (Kuhistoni Matcha). As a result, the
agricultural sector declines heavily. It witnesses desertification of the pasture lands and frequent death
of the livestock. The commonly identified adaptation measures included the clearance of the drainage
systems, maintenance of the irrigation network, reforestation, construction of water reservoirs and water
tanks, use of the drought and water-resistant crops, diversification of the crop production sector, set-up
of the food storage places, sustainable use of the pastures, integrated approach in water resources
management, establishment of the Water User Associations (WUAs) in areas that lack them, etc. As the
measures that support integration of the adaptation to planning and policy, the participants highlighted
the need to incorporate climate change adaptation to the national development strategies, including the
Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS-4) with a clear reflection of climate indicators1. At the community
level, the participants raised a need to include climate change adaptation practices into rural

4. development plans or jamoat development plans2. At the same time, awareness raising and education
policy on climate change as well as the coordination of the activities and collaboration with
governmental and non-governmental agencies and communities was announced as a priority.
The participants coming from the districts were particularly mentioning the “abrupt” impacts of climate
change, especially highlighting cold weather extremes that were observed in early November 20113.
Even though the State Administration for Hydrometeorology forecasted the extreme weather conditions,
many people were not ready for them and did not harvest the crops beforehand, leaving them frozen on
the fields. Therefore, one of the adaptation measures supported by most of participants was the access to
meteorological forecast information.
The need for self-implementation of the small scale projects addressing climate change through
education and awareness raising initiatives (e.g. set-up/ maintenance of the information centres in the
districts with CC publications, establishment of the press-centres or journalism network with a particular
focus on climate change4, study tours to the districts that are already in progress with adaptive practices),
capacity building (trainings or inclusion of the communities/ journalists to the field trips), and streaming
small funds for currently implemented initiatives on natural disasters prevention or agricultural
development.
6. Impacts on the participants:
Overall rating that participants gave for the trainings was “very successful”. 56 fully filled-in evaluation
forms were received and proved the importance of these trainings. The participants were highly satisfied
by the approach of the training, distributed materials and handouts. In particular they particularly
acknowledged the professionalism of the involved trainers and the way they delivered the trainings.
Among the common recommendations to improve the trainings in the future, were (i) to conduct the
trainings and develop module handouts in Tajik; (ii) to cover districts and regions in particular; (iii)
involve mass media in order to broaden the scope of the mass population through them; (iv) one-day
training is not enough to cover all the related topics on cc crosscutting issues; (v) practical works should
be assigned to the attendees right after the training to check the acquired knowledge.
