Beyond mitigation: forest-based adaptation to climate changeCIFOR-ICRAF
Forests and climate change adaptation are linked in two ways: first, through
adaptation for forests, because climate change will affect forests and so
they need help to adapt; second, through forests for adaptation, because
forests contribute to helping local communities and broader society adapt to
climate change. Both linkages are explored in this presentation, together
with the synergies between climate change mitigation and adaptation in
forestry projects. The possibilities and challenges in these ideas are
explored by using wetlands as a case in point. CIFOR and CIRAD scientist

Integrating Climate Change Risks into Planning and Budgeting
Rohini Kohli and Glenn Hodes, UNDP
Climate change adaptation should be integrated into the full planning and budgeting cycles, at national and subnational levels
· Integration maximizes use of existing systems
· Institutional arrangements and capacity development are important aspects of risk informed planning, budgeting and monitoring systems and processes
· A range of tools and approaches are available for integrating adaptation
· Important to pick the right tools that can be used in a sustainable way
· Embedding adaptation into budget systems enables moving towards multi-year budget plans that can generate more sustained and predictable resources to implement medium- to long-term adaptation strategies
· The National Adaptation Plan process is on the opportunities for countries to strengthen risk management

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

4. Overview of presentation
1. What is the NAP process?
2. Entry points for integrating EbA in NAPs
3. Conclusions and recommendations
6. What is the NAP process?
■ The national adaptation plan (NAP) process was established under the
UNFCCC Cancun Adaptation Framework (2010).
■ It enables Parties to formulate and implement national adaptation plans
(NAPs) as a means of identifying medium- and long-term adaptation needs
and developing and implementing strategies and programmes to address
those needs.
■ It is a continuous, progressive and iterative process which follows country-
driven, gender-sensitive, participatory and fully transparent approach.
7. NAPs under the UNFCCC over time
EbA included in Cancun
Adaptation Framework and
Paris Agreement:
• Take into account
vulnerable ecosystems
• Build the resilience of
socioeconomic and
ecological systems
(EbA): “the sustainable
management, conservation
and restoration of
ecosystems, as part of an
overall adaptation strategy
that takes into account the
multiple social, economic and
cultural co-benefits for local
communities
(CBD, Decision X/33)
8. Objectives of the NAPs and relevance for EbA
The Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC has agreed on the following objectives of the
NAP process:
• To reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, by building adaptive capacity
and resilience; and
• To facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation, in a coherent manner, into
relevant new and existing policies, programmes and activities; in particular
development planning processes and strategies, within all relevant sectors and at
different levels, as appropriate.
• EbA can enable the reduction of vulnerability, and enhance the adaptive capacity and
resilience of both ecosystems and dependent communities. It can be integrated into
different planning processes, across sectors and scales.
• EbA can be a policy or planning objective, as well as means for implementing
adaptation
12. A. EbA in laying the groundwork and
addressing gaps for NAPs
■ Has a NAP process been initiated and is EbA part of the medium- to long-term
adaptation goal?
■ What are the existing policies, strategies, plans and laws - at national, sectoral and
local level – relevant for adaptation? Do they integrate ecosystems and EbA?
■ Are coordination mechanisms in place for adaptation planning? Are EbA-relevant
experts and institutions engaged? What are the capacity, data and information
gaps for EbA?
■ What are the lessons learned from existing EbA actions? Which could be scaled-up
in the context of medium- to long-term adaptation planning?
■ Related activities: incl. EbA in e.g. stocktakings, capacity assessments, NAP
roadmaps where relevant
13. B. EbA in NAP preparatory elements
■ Have vulnerability assessments of ecosystems and ecosystem services been carried
out? Can they inform adaptation planning? Are certain sectors, ecosystems or
regions more vulnerable?
■ Have adaptation options been appraised? Have EbA options been prioritised as
part of overall adaptation strategies?
■ Is EbA integrated into existing development planning processes?
■ EbA is often a preferred adaptation option because it tends to rely on existing
resources and livelihood sources, can be comparatively cost-effective, provides co-
benefits and avoids mal-adaptation e.g. forest and landscape restoration
■ Related activities: incl. ecosystems in VIAs to inform adaptation planning; incl. EbA
in adaptation options that are being appraised
14. C. EbA in implementing NAP
strategies
■ Prioritisation of adaptation actions
■ Long-term adaptation strategy
■ Financing adaptation actions – e.g. EbA incl. in national, sectoral or local budgets
or international funds (e.g. GCF, IKI)
■ Implementation of adaptation actions e.g. landscape approaches, mangrove
restoration, agroforestry, integrated watershed management etc.
■ Institutional frameworks and coordination strengthened – incl. vertical and
horizontal integration of EbA and agriculture
15. EbA in NAP reporting, monitoring and
review
■ Monitoring EbA as part of a NAP process; monitoring EbA across sectors and
scales as part of overall national adaptation M&E; monitoring EbA programmes
and projects
■ Assess available information, capacities and gaps
■ Include EbA in NAP reports, where relevant (incl. National Communications, NDCs,
Adaptation Communications)
■ Challenges in M&E of NAPs and EbA include e.g. lack of data available; and lack of
coordination across sectors and scales; timeline
17. ■ NAP processes vary by country; the integration of EbA in
NAPs will also vary
■ EbA can be included throughout the NAP process
■ EbA may be included in a range of adaptation planning
activities
■ Build on lessons learned from EbA for scaling up into
medium- to long-term adaptation planning

Cancun Adaptation Framework
Para 12. Affirms that enhanced action on adaptation should be undertaken in accordance with the Convention, should follow a country-driven, gender-sensitive, participatory and fully transparent approach, taking into consideration vulnerable groups, communities and ecosystems, and should be based on and guided by the best available science and, as appropriate, traditional and indigenous knowledge, with a view to integrating adaptation
into relevant social, economic and environmental policies and actions, where appropriate;
Para 14. Invites all Parties to enhance action on adaptation under the Cancun Adaptation Framework, taking into account their
common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, and specific national and regional development priorities, objectives
and circumstances, by undertaking, inter alia, the following:
Building resilience of socio-economic and ecological systems, including through economic diversification and sustainable management of natural resources;
Paris Agreement, Article 7 (9) Each Party shall, as appropriate, engage in adaptation planning processes and the implementation of actions, including the development or enhancement of relevant plans, policies and/or contributions, which may include:
(c) The assessment of climate change impacts and vulnerability, with a view to formulating nationally determined prioritized actions, taking into account vulnerable people, places and ecosystems;
(e) Building the resilience of socioeconomic and ecological systems, including through economic diversification and sustainable management of natural resources.
EbA can be included in various ways and at different levels, e.g.:
International commitments: INDCs, NAPs, NBSAPs etc.
National policies: National Development Plans; National Climate Change Policies; National Budgets etc.
Sectoral policies and regulations: water, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure, fisheries etc.
Local level plans: municipal budgets; land use planning; Coastal Zone Management Plans; Protected Area Management Plans etc.
Importance of NAPs for countries:
Links adaptation priorities to development needs
Sets clear objectives and priorities
Supports mainstreaming
Strengthens long term perspective
Builds on existing work and helps synthesise and simplify
Defines a pipeline of interventions
Captures resources: public, private, national, international
Supports coordination of adaptation efforts
Specifies needs: knowledge, capacity, institutional, funding
Sets out how progress will be measured and reported
The LDC Tech Guidelines provide an overview of how countries can approach NAPs
Not prescriptive – can be used as guidance at country level and be a useful framework when considering how NAPs are formulated across the board in different countries and regions
Relevance of different stages in the NAP process for EbA will be discussed in the following slides
E.g.: Kenya NAP includes resilient ecosystems in its vision; and EbA in sectoral actions (incl. environment)
Example of policies and plans: EbA included as an adaptation option in a NAPA (Nepal); EbA in an forestry or agriculture sector strategy (e.g. Nepal, Uganda); local level PA or landscape management plan etc. EbA may not always be called EbA!
Examples of coordination mechanisms: Ministry of Environment EbA experts; Min of Agr experts on landscape approaches etc.
E.g. scaling up a landscape restoration initiative to other sites
E.g. NAP-Ag Programme in Nepal supporting a climate change vulnerability and disaster risk assessment of agro-ecological zones of Nepal and appraising the cost of climate change adaptation (through CBA) – focus on three prioritised watersheds and ecosystem services; in context of NAP; prioritise measures for investment, using CBA
Many countries have initiated NAP processes and preparatory elements; some are moving towards implementation; few have experience of the monitoring phase
EbA can be included throughout the NAP process, from preparation to implementation and monitoring
EbA may be included in a range of adaptation planning activities: stocktaking; vulnerability assessments; appraisal and prioritisation of adaptation options; integration into planning processes; monitoring
Lessons learned from existing implementation of EbA at different scales and across sectors can be assessed and considered with regards to scaling up into medium- to long-term adaptation planning
