Key Messages –It’s the people thing! • Community to Cabinet – building the connectivity between local action and primary governance structures both as formal and informal conduits. • Doing is Seeing the Need – communities have traditional and experiential knowledge but the realisation that something is amiss is not always obvious. – Doing defines the needs and implements responses which heightens awareness and the need for better information thereby enabling a role for scientific and technical knowledge. – Doing also makes governance gaps obvious and provides a “real” reason for governance. Doing also demonstrates the benefits and thereby impetus for replication and upscaling. – Doing helps converts the skeptical
- 16. Integration’s Role inSustainable Development • Integration is a tool within the overarching framework of sustainable development. • Integrations higher objective is thus to support sustainable development. • Integration seeks to improve responses to the degradation of PIC land and water ecosystems – Pressures of populations and demands on resource – Vulnerabilities expanded due to climate change What is at stake? • Biodiversity – terrestrial and marine • Water – fresh and coastal • Land • Ecosystem Services
- 17. Gaps/Barriers to Implementationof Integrated, Cross-Sectoral Approaches in PICs • Fragmented, sectoral efforts – Across different landscapes and government levels • Need to enhance capacity • Need to replicate and upscale good examples (such as IWRM) • Need for enhanced civil society participation • Need to improve linkages between land/water/forest and coastal area planning processes – “ridge to reef” approach • Need for base level knowledge for informed decisions

- 19. The Elements • BuyingInto Solutions – Supporting local level action and capacity building – Appropriate and workable local solutions – Demonstrating tangible household and environmental benefits – Gaining household level action – Implement at local absorptive capacity. • Sharing the View – Coordination and Cooperation Nationally and Regionally – Governance Facilitated through APEX Ctee – Effective and Efficient Project Management – Well Resourced and Delivered Communications – Demonstrating Benefits Through Tangible Results • Building Capacity – Learning from Doing through Demonstrations and Training – Making it Stick through appropriate policy frameworks – Knowledge acquisition, synthesis, application and sharing
- 20. The Elements • SustainableDevelopment and Environmental Stress Reduction – Informed Decision Making – Holistic approach to Biodiversity, Land and Water ie Integration – Climate Change Adaptations – Demonstrating Benefits – Monitoring and Reporting on Meaningful Indicators • Global, Regional, National and Local Impacts – CC Mitigation – Equity in implementation of adaptations and development of resiliency
