ActionAid is concerned about climate change because it disproportionately impacts the poorest and most vulnerable people, especially women and children in developing countries. Climate change reflects and reinforces existing inequalities. ActionAid takes a three-pronged approach to address climate change: adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and policy/campaign work. For adaptation, ActionAid works with communities to analyze vulnerabilities and support efforts to diversify livelihoods. For disaster risk reduction, ActionAid facilitates community analysis of vulnerabilities and increases resilience through schools and other capacity building. For policy, ActionAid advocates for emissions reductions in rich countries and more support for adaptation in poor countries.

Climate change strategies and policies in ethiopia zewdeazewde alemayehu
1) Ethiopia has developed various policies and strategies to address climate change, beginning with provisions in its constitution guaranteeing environmental rights and sustainable development.
2) Key policies and strategies include the National Adaptation Program of Action, Climate Resilient Green Economy Strategy, and serving as a leader in international climate negotiations.
3) The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change is responsible for coordinating climate change efforts and ensuring the realization of environmental rights defined in the constitution.
This document summarizes the challenges of integrating ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) approaches into national policy in Caribbean nations. It finds that EbA is absent from national policies in six of the seven Caribbean countries studied, despite ecosystem management policies being present in all countries. Key barriers to integrating EbA identified include climate change being a lower priority than economic development, climate change being framed primarily as an environmental rather than socioeconomic issue, a lack of understanding of the economic benefits of EbA, and insufficient climate funding for adaptation projects in Caribbean nations. However, opportunities also exist, such as linking EbA to existing ecosystem management practices and the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre acting as an accredited entity for the Green Climate Fund
The document discusses Liberia's efforts to address climate change adaptation and mitigation. It defines key terms like adaptation, mitigation, and vulnerability. It outlines Liberia's national efforts in adaptation, including completing a National Adaptation Programme of Action that identified priority projects in agriculture, forests, health, and other sectors. It also discusses efforts in mitigation like REDD+ and clean energy. However, Liberia faces challenges like lack of technical expertise, infrastructure for data collection, limited funding, and mainstreaming climate change. The conclusion states that Liberia is highly vulnerable to climate impacts and international financing provides opportunities to increase resilience.

How Landscape Approaches Support National Programs and GoalsCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation by Peter Besseau from the International Model Forest Network focuses on the why of landscapes approaches, what a model forest is, its framework and what was learned from working on a landscape scale.
1) Adaptation to climate change involves managing risks through reducing vulnerability. Risks can be systemic like impacts on energy, agriculture, and sea level rise, or idiosyncratic. Vulnerability depends on exposure and ability to manage risks.
2) Changing behaviors to adapt requires both awareness of impacts and willingness to contribute to social goals. Factors like social norms, costs, and preferences influence willingness.
3) Civil society has an important role in leading adaptation by advising on plans and overseeing implementation. The Joint Principles for Adaptation provide guidelines for inclusive planning, accountability, flexibility, and support for vulnerable groups.

This document discusses biodiversity offsets, which allow development projects that result in biodiversity loss if they compensate by protecting or restoring habitat elsewhere. However, offsets are controversial as biodiversity gains may not match losses in quality, quantity, or permanence. For offsets to work, gains must be comparable, additional, lasting, and have sufficient information. Metrics, baselines, equivalence over time and space, uncertainty, reversibility, and thresholds must be considered. Canada currently lacks frameworks for best practice offsets. Offsets risk becoming business as usual unless integrated with clear biodiversity policies and plans that specify goals and address cumulative impacts with careful monitoring.
This document outlines GWP's strategy for achieving food security through integrated land and water management from 2009-2013. It identifies five work areas: 1) influencing policymaking, 2) advocacy, 3) linking research and policy to on-the-ground changes, 4) financing, and 5) linking to climate change and disaster risk reduction agendas. The strategy aims to engage stakeholders and promote integrated approaches to increase water productivity, food production, and resilience against weather extremes. Key partners include FAO, IFAD, CGIAR institutions, and regional economic communities.

The document discusses WFP's CLEAR project in Cambodia which aims to 1) identify livelihoods most at risk from climate change impacts like irregular rainfall and drought and 2) inform ongoing and new food security programs. The project analyzed 271 micro livelihood zones across Cambodia to understand their climate sensitivity and resilience. Field visits and meetings with local governments helped identify which zones are most vulnerable to impacts like less uniform rainfall. This analysis then guided community engagement to understand local priorities and needs to help design effective food security programming.
Innovative approaches in community-based adaptation to climate change krishnadk
This document discusses community-based approaches for adapting to climate change. It provides examples of participatory methods that communities can use to plan for climate impacts, such as seasonal calendars, timelines, and mapping. Case studies from Ethiopia, Nepal, and other areas show how communities are innovating locally to cope with changes, such as pastoralists in Ethiopia developing cut-and-carry feeding systems. The document also discusses government efforts in India to address climate change through seven national missions and provides examples of innovative community-based solutions from Ladakh involving artificial glaciers and ice stupas that harvest water. Overall, the document promotes community-led participatory processes for developing locally appropriate adaptation strategies.

Women are agents of positive change in climate change policies such that their involvement and input in the decision and policy making would result in a desirable change in meeting the climate change goals. However, women are more than often being left out of (climate) policy at their country level. The specific impacts they are facing are more than often not appropriately reflected in climate policies and implementation planning.

Presentation: Farmer-led climate adaptation - Project launch and overview by ...AICCRA
The Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF) in collaboration with Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA), is implementing a project to showcase best practice examples of farmer-led adaptation in managing the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture.
This presentation was given at the project launch on 30 April 2024, by Romy Chevallier, AICCRA Policy and Engagement Specialist.
This document provides details about a project aimed at reducing poverty and greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of climate-resilient agricultural practices by small-scale farmers in Tanzania. The project is a partnership between 5 organizations and will pursue its goal through 4 interlinked strategies - community networking, policy research, demonstrating climate-smart agriculture approaches, and advocacy. It will work with farmers' groups and districts to integrate climate considerations into policies and budgets, support farmers with training and resources to adopt new practices, and influence decision-makers to better support small-scale farmers in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
This document provides a summary of the WWF-UK Programme Partnership Arrangement from 2011-2016. Over the five year period, the programme achieved the following:
- Improved the wellbeing of over 843,000 people living in poverty through more sustainable management of natural resources.
- Positively influenced over 136 policies to incorporate environmental sustainability and climate resilience.
- Increased the land area under improved management from 74 to 312 community groups, helping to reduce biodiversity loss.
IDRC has been a trailblazer in climate change adaptation research, supporting over $190 million in projects since 2006. Their current initiatives include four large research consortia totaling $70 million focused on adaptation in Africa and Asia. One example project used ICT to share climate and market data with over 120,000 farmers in Uganda, reducing crop losses by up to 67%. IDRC is also funding a $546,800 project in Angola assessing the impacts of climate variability on water resources and infrastructure in four coastal cities and developing governance recommendations.
This document discusses the challenges of climate change for global food security and the role of climate-smart agriculture. It summarizes the following key points:
1. Climate change is already causing crop yield losses in some areas and extreme weather events are expected to intensify in the future, threatening global food security.
2. Climate-smart agriculture promotes technologies, practices, and policies that help communities adapt to climate change, reduce greenhouse gases, and ensure future food security.
3. The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security is working with partners in various regions to research, promote, and implement climate-smart agriculture through activities like developing climate information services, insurance products, and policies to support resilient
This document summarizes lessons learned from resilience-building and nutrition programs implemented in Ethiopia, Niger, northern Kenya, and other food-insecure regions. It finds that cash transfers and seasonal safety nets alone were insufficient, and longer-term, multisectoral interventions are needed to build communities' ability to withstand shocks. Successful approaches included integrated interventions across agriculture, water and sanitation, livelihoods, and nutrition; strengthening government response capacity; and coordinating humanitarian and development actors. The document also provides recommendations for international donors, policymakers, and practitioners to adopt resilience-building approaches.
GCF Concept Note - Training-Workshop to Develop Concept Notes of Indigenous P...UNDP Climate
This document summarizes a project concept note submitted to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) that aims to enhance the resilience of pastoral livelihoods in Kenya. The project will be implemented across 7 predominantly pastoralist counties in Southern Kenya by ILEPA, an organization experienced in climate research and livelihood support. Key activities include reducing disaster risks, enhancing pastoral herd mobility, access to water and pasture, demonstrating indigenous knowledge contributions, and enhancing access to markets. The project is designed to maintain livestock productivity, ensure land and resource tenure, and contribute to sustainability through social, economic and gender co-benefits while aligning with Kenya's national climate policies and priorities.
Addressing climate change impact on responsible governance of tenureFAO
The document summarizes discussions from a meeting on addressing climate change impacts on land tenure governance. It was noted that climate change affects land availability and use through ecosystem and land capability changes. These pressures will disproportionately impact the poor through increased migration, land competition, and changes to livelihoods. Strengthening land governance arrangements is key to adaptation planning and securing land access. Land issues must be considered in climate plans, and climate change incorporated into land policies. Working groups discussed examples of climate-tenure interactions in countries and how to best integrate and address these issues in plans like NDCs and NAPs. FAO support was requested.
This document introduces the Joint Principles for Adaptation (JPA), which provides a code of good practice and benchmark for national adaptation planning to ensure the needs of vulnerable communities are met. The JPA was developed by civil society organizations worldwide to guide advocacy and discussions with governments. It facilitates learning between civil society networks and promotes a shift from isolated projects to comprehensive national adaptation policies. Case studies from Sri Lanka, Kenya, and Ghana are provided that test the application of the JPA to influence national adaptation planning and make processes more participatory, equitable, and responsive to those most vulnerable to climate change.

The document discusses how actions to mitigate climate change through reducing deforestation and enhancing carbon stocks in agricultural and degraded landscapes can also help smallholder farmers adapt to climate change by increasing food security, productivity and biodiversity conservation. It describes agroforestry projects that combine climate mitigation, adaptation, and development benefits as an opportunity to achieve multiple goals at once. Community engagement and standards like the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards are important for project quality, transparency and equitable outcomes.
Community Based Adaptation as a Pillar of National Adaptation EffortsNAP Events
This document discusses community-based adaptation as a key pillar of national adaptation efforts. It defines community-based adaptation as an approach that empowers local communities to analyze climate change impacts, identify risks and vulnerabilities, and plan and implement local adaptation initiatives through integrating community and scientific knowledge. The document highlights the local impacts of climate change and growing adaptation needs, and argues that adaptation must consider local contexts, needs, and priorities. It provides examples of community-based adaptation initiatives from different countries and regions.
Climate Resilient Extension Development (CRED)Andrew Bartlett
The document discusses Climate Resilient Extension Development (CRED), an approach used by MAF and SDC to improve farming communities' resilience to climate change in Laos. CRED uses community-based and farming systems interventions to address the social, environmental, and economic pillars of sustainability. Example interventions include water management, forest-friendly farming, livestock improvement, and soil conservation. The CRED process involves community engagement, vulnerability assessment, decision-making, implementation, and assessment. Lessons learned indicate water is the top priority and that cost-sharing with communities has benefits of participation but lengthens the process.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

2. Problems
• Population that is vulnerable to climate change. Why? Highly
dependent on natural resources for food, fuel and shelter.
• Climate change has resulted in recurring droughts, flooding, erratic
rainfall patterns and raising water lake levels.
• The rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns have
negatively impacted livelihoods and community assets, especially for
the climate sensitive and poorest communities.
• The changing climate has led to loss of income, increased food
insecurity, increased conflict around natural resources and even
death.

3. Our Inspiration
• The National Climate Change Action Plan sets out a vision for a low
carbon climate resilient development pathway
• low carbon climate resilient development
• adaptation: the County government and partners are taking action to reduce
vulnerability and build adaptive capacity. Interventions have been directed
toward disaster risk reduction, humanitarian action, preparedness and
response actions.
• Many county governments have integrated climate change in their
County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs), acknowledging that
climate change poses threats to sustainable development, and five
counties are establishing County Adaptation Funds
