This document summarizes Kenya's efforts to develop a national climate change action plan. It outlines Kenya's vulnerability to climate change impacts and its existing climate strategies. The national climate change action plan was developed through stakeholder consultations and aims to implement the national climate change response strategy. It identifies priority adaptation and mitigation actions across sectors. The action plan also analyzes Kenya's emission reduction potential and enables mainstreaming of climate change into development planning. Next steps include finalizing climate change policies and legislation, implementing priority adaptation actions, and preparing programs to reduce emissions from sectors like energy and agriculture.

4.4 Communication and outreach
The session will focus on key considerations and best practices in communication and outreach in the formulation and implementation of NAPs. It will look at such issues as the purpose, objectives, channels for communications and outreach, and the role that media can play. It will also include examples from countries on their communication and outreach programmes.
This first Climate Change Adaptation Plan for
Victoria focuses on government preparedness
by ensuring that:
> appropriate risk management strategies
are in place for public assets and services;
> enhanced disaster resilience strategies
are being implemented; and
> government policies and programs
encourage and facilitate climate resilience
and adaptive capacity across the
Victorian community.
The Victorian Government committed
to preparing for a changing climate in its
Response to the independent Review of
the Climate Change Act 20101
. In late 2012,
it strengthened legislative provisions guiding
the preparation of the Climate Change

How effective is your recruiting process? What are you doing that may be getting in the way of your success? Check out our Slideshare presentation to learn about common mistakes that may be undermining your success.
Online marketing is moving fast. Keeping up with changing platform features and best practices is tough, but critical for success. Join us as we discuss 5 common mistakes. Here’s a peek:
1. Not tracking your marketing dollars! When managing a limited budget (and who isn’t!), you need to know which ads are performing and how you generate leads. This means tracking and it’s more than just Google Analytics.
2. Focusing on the wrong metrics! Of the dozens of metrics in online marketing, there are only a few key performance indicators. Factors like cost-per-click or click-through-rate only matter if your marketing isn’t working and you need to know why. However, they are not the most important factors. Learn where to focus and why.
3. Talking like a robot! Many schools use phrases like, “The applicant will…” or academic language like, “This field is highly transdisciplinary ...” Such language is highly impersonal and not effective. We’ll discuss how to talk with your prospective students in a way that’s engaging and effective.
4. Marketing like its 2012! Platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Display have evolved and are no longer just “awareness marketing”. Learn how the new features can enhance your marketing strategies how they can (and should) be used.
5. Talking to Jane Doe like she’s John Six Pack! Many programs appeal to several target audiences, but many online marketers doesn’t account for this. They should. Learn to customize your marketing by audience and where individuals are in the decision cycle.

The National Adaptation Plan Global Support Programme (NAP-GSP) is a UNDP-UNEP programme, financed by the LDCF.
The NAP-GSP is assisting Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to advance National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). NAPs will bring greater focus and coordination to country-led efforts in disaster management and disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation. The NAP will add to the strategic suite of other sectoral plans and policies for countries that help to guide internal development resourcing mechanisms as well as those provided by donors. The programme was launched on 14 June 2013 following its CEO approval by the GEF on 29 May 2013. As of November 2013, partner agencies to GSP include UNDP, UNEP, WHO, FAO, IFAD, UNITAR, GEF, UNFCCC, GWP, GIZ , PROVIA, and UNISDR.

3 Years of Higher Education Website BenchmarkingJMH Consulting
In 2011, JMH kicked off an intiative to explore adult education websites that serve non-traditional students. Now, four years later, JMH is ready to share our key takeaways and trends that we’ve seen from the millions of website visits tracked in this initiative. This session will explore:
Trends in mobile device usage and other interesting metrics
Shifts in how visitors find our sites and how they behave once there
How higher education administrators can better manage the visitor experience online
Learn how seasonal variations in website traffic can predict enrollment patterns
With more than two dozen participating institutions from across the US and Canada, this data set offers an unrivaled glimpse into the behavior of visitors to adult education websites. Don’t miss this chance to learn how those behaviors have changed and how you can offer a more effective online experience.
During the session, we’ll share the research results, interpret them, and then discuss how your department can apply these results to improve its operation using examples from participating sites. These trends can impact how we manage and market programs.

Introduction to National Adaptation Planning in JamaicaNAP Global Network

Catalyzing Synergies between Adaptation, Mitigation and SDG Plans UNDP Climate
Building resiliency to the effects of climate change and transforming economies toward low-carbon development requires integrated, cross-cutting solutions. In this way, a new paradigm is emerging toward addressing multiple risks and delivering co-benefits across climate and non-climate drivers. This will entail connecting climate action to long-term sustainable development planning, financing, and budgeting.
Effectively integrating sustainable development with climate change adaption and mitigation means evolving from working in silos to working in synergy. And current national efforts to align three key processes — the SDG Agenda, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and National Adaptation Plans (NAP) formulation and implementation—can be a key lynchpin to achieving that.
This was the main message emerging from a breakout discussion on 3 May in Berlin, Germany, at the Global NDC Forum. The event was organized by the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) and National Adaptation Plan Global Support (NAP-GSP) programmes. Co-organized by UNDP, the German Environment Ministry-hosted event brought together over 250 climate experts and policymakers from around the world to forge partnerships that can support scaling-up climate action and a prompt start to implementing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change as articulated in countries’ NDCs.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Conclusion& Reccomendations
• Climate change is a cross-cutting issue - requires high level political
goodwill and support( placement in a Powerful office-Political buy in)
• Preparation of strategies & Implementation require participation of all the
stakeholders within and outside Government( PPP support
&strengthening of governance issues)
• Clear need for Mainstreaming climate action in development planning
process (sectoral & County mainstreaming therefore mainstreaming
approaches & tools)
• Clear high level coordination governance structure is crucial
• Climate actions are expensive – collaboration, partnerships, support &
investments (requires National Budgetary streams,PPP support,ODS &
fudiciary standards)
