Speaker: John Labadie
Emergency managers will have to deal with the impending, possibly extreme, and uncertain
effects of climate change. Yet, many emergency managers are not aware of the full range of
possible climate change effects, and they are unsure of their place in the effort to plan for, adapt
to, and cope with those effects. This may partly reflect emergency mangers‟ reluctance to get
caught up in the rancorous – and politically-charged – debate about climate change, but it mostly
is due to the worldview shared by most emergency managers. We focus on: extreme events;
acute vs. chronic hazards (floods vs. droughts); a shorter event horizon (5 years vs. 75-100
years); and a shorter planning and operational cycle. This presentation explores the important
intersection of emergency management, environmental management, and climate change
mitigation and adaptation. It examines the different definitions of terms common to all three
fields, the overlapping strategies used in all three fields, and the best means of collaboration and
mutual re-enforcement among the three to confront and solve the many possible futures that we
may face in the climate change world. Emergency managers must take a seat at the table and
involve themselves in all aspects of planning for and dealing with effects of climate change.
Online Training Resource for Climate Adaptation: IntroductionDeborah Davies
Introduction to the online, interactive training resource developed by the Western Norway Research Institute (WRNI)/ Vestlandsforsking.
The slide show includes a brief on the modules covered in the training resource.
The goal of the training resource is to promote a holistic approach to climate change adaptation and enhance awareness of available planning tools and processes that will promote the development of sustainable adaptation measures.
We use the word sustainable over successful, because many projects can achieve short term success, but lasting viability is essential for communities to cope with current and long-term impacts of a changing climate.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Project ManagementJoy Bhattacharjee
Environmental Impact Assessment is a systematic process by which we can identify what will be the future consequences of a projected or recent actions.
Presentation from the 2015 Connecticut Land Conservation Conference by Maria Janowiak. Climate change creates substantial uncertainty about the future, but it is certain that there will be substantial effects on natural ecosystems. This session will help to begin a discussion of how climate change information can be integrated
into conservation activities in Connecticut, with an emphasis on terrestrial ecosystems and land management.
Through a workshop with land trusts and conservation organizations, we discussed key climate change impacts and ways to enhance the ability of ecosystems to cope with changing conditions.

Brukermedvirkning
En bruker/interessent (”stakeholder”, heretter kalt bruker) er noen med en egeninteresse i en bestemt handling, en avgjørelse eller et utfall. De kan være enkeltpersoner eller samfunns- eller sektorrepresentanter.
Brukermedvirkning er prosessen der brukere er involverte og brakt sammen for å diskutere og lede innsatser mot et bestemt utfall, og prosessen og arten av oppdraget er svært mye bestemt av prosjektets mål.
Enkle, ukontroversielle prosjekter trenger kanskje bare et faktaark og kortfattet brukermedvirkning sammenlignet med mer omstridte eller langsiktige prosjekter som kanskje trenger mer investering i tid og et samarbeid som krever mer omfattende brukermedvirkning.
På denne bakgrunnen kan vi tegne en ”involveringsstige”.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Implementing Adaptation: Adaptation Options
Types of Adaptation
Adaptation measures or options vary depending
on many factors.
For example, adaptation measures can be
classified based on the sectors considered.
Alternatively, adaptation measures can be
classified based on the timing, goal and motive of
their implementation.
Accordingly, adaptation can include reactive or
anticipatory actions, or can be planned or
autonomous (UNFCCC, 2006 and TERI, IPCC,
2007).

Adaptation Responses
Adaptation responses can be clustered into the
following broad categories:
Technological solutions - grey measures;
Ecosystem-based adaptation solutions - green
measures;
Behavioural, managerial and policy approaches - soft
measures.
Green and soft measures specifically aim at decreasing
the sensitivity and increasing the adaptive capacity of
human and natural systems, basically building
resilience. They often provide low-cost solutions and
we know enough for their implementation.

Types of Adaptation
Depending on the timing, goal and
motive of it’s implementation, adaptation
can be either reactive of anticipatory.
Reactive adaptation occurs after the
initial impacts of climate change become
evident; however, anticipatory
adaptation occurs before the impacts
are obvious. For example, adaptation in
a natural system is reactive by nature,
while in a human system it can be both
reactive as well as anticipatory.

Short-term vs Long-term Adaptation
Some adaptation measures"are appropriate"in the short-term
while others are more proper in the long-term. For example,
changing crop"varieties or adjusting planting/ harvesting
dates are short-term measures that can be used by farmers.
Transforming agricultural production system"itself into a
more"resilient system to climate change such as integrated
farming is a longer term adaptation strategy. Long-term
solutions also include insurance and banking

Types of Adaptation
Public Adaptation
Some adaptation measures"can be"taken individually.
However,"other adaptation measures"will require a public
intervention to provide them efficiently. For example,
subsistent farmers may not be able to"purchase a crop
insurance"due to capital constraints. The current irrigation
systems in California were established with a heavy support
from the State government. Market failures can result in the
provision of public adaptation measures due to their public
goods’ nature. For example, a cure for Malaria cannot be
developed efficiently.

Strengthening Institutional Capacity
• Political competence
– e.g. in connection with training of newly elected local government representatives
• Administrative competence
– either by hiring experts or by strengthening the competence of existing staff
• Administrative capacity
– findings from many analyses of criteria for municipal environment work shows that the main
problem is rarely a lack of competence, but rather a lack of capacity
• Integrating considerations of climate adaptation in planning processes
– Improving existing routines or establishing new administrative routines and procedures
• Changing the perspective on knowledge from conventional to alternative knowledge
– e.g. making use of alternative methods for surface water treatment a supplement to, or
substitute for, focusing on increasing pipeline dimensions
