This document discusses disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) approaches in Timor-Leste. It notes that DRR and CCA share similar goals of reducing vulnerability to climate impacts. The author argues that programs should learn from decades of DRR research rather than reinventing approaches. They describe CCA and DRR activities underway in Timor-Leste through an action research program, including awareness raising, policy work, and community-level efforts. Both opportunities and challenges are discussed in scaling up these approaches in Timor-Leste's developing policy and institutional frameworks.Deseos

The Afar people are pastoralists living in the Afar region of Ethiopia. They have observed changes in the climate that are making their livelihoods more difficult, including higher temperatures and less predictable rains. In addition to climate changes, the Afar people face multiple stressors on their pastoral way of life from factors like lack of resources and conflict. Studies are exploring how the Afar people are responding and adapting to these challenges, and how support can be provided at larger scales to help the vulnerable population.Gelassenheit

Dr. Nanyingi Climate Change
The Kenyan rural communities face a myriad of challenges including poverty, food security, scarcity of water, and challenges emerging due to global warming and climate change. Notable direct effects include higher temperatures and drastic changes in rainfall patterns, consequently aberrant transmission models, and increased spread of existing vector-borne diseases, emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases. Major challenges for adaptation interventions in Kenya include insufficient local level historic and future climate change information. Given the complexity of livestock and crop-livestock systems, a mix of technological, policy and institutional innovations will inevitably be required. Here we propose approaches that can be used to develop reliable climate databases and to incorporate these data into predictive risk models. We hypothesize that techniques should be further refined to produce detailed relational databases. The proposed climate system models are to provide insights on climate variability and impacts on livestock, they are designated as problem-solving tools that allow users to process and analyse climate data in a multidisciplinary context. They should be ideal for storage, archiving, display, analysis and interpretation of the localised impacts, and the importance of identifying appropriate options that can help livestock keepers adapt to climate change. However we reckon the overarching issues of shrinking government budgets, curriculum suitability and need for collaboration to expand our knowledge of how climate change and increasing climate variability will affect livestock systems and the livelihoods of the people who depend on them.

Climate change poses serious threats to children, especially in developing countries. Nearly nine million children die each year from preventable diseases that will be exacerbated by climate change. Children in developing nations will bear 85% of the global disease burden from climate change. Involving children in climate change adaptation and reducing disaster risks must be a priority. Children can play an active role in mitigating impacts at the community level if given the chance. Governments should invest in children's education and empowerment to support climate change adaptation programs led by children.Session 10_Mayukh Hajra

This document summarizes preliminary observations from a study on how coastal communities in Bangladesh perceive climate and non-climate stressors. The study was conducted in two villages - one on the mainland and one island-like setting more exposed to hazards. Villagers reported increased cyclones, drought, erratic rainfall, and salinity affecting livelihoods like fishing and rice farming. However, they did not clearly connect these issues to climate change and also mentioned non-climate stressors like development impacts. While some problems can be solved locally, the researchers noted that other issues require broader ecosystem-based approaches and coordination on trans-boundary water management given upstream uncertainties.Session 19_Nancy Omolo

It will use three approaches: the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach to examine assets, markets, risks/vulnerability, and knowledge/organization through a gender lens; the Gender and Development approach to remove gender disparities; and the Political Ecology approach to represent tensions between human/environmental change and social groups. Each approach has strengths for understanding power and context, but weaknesses in translating frameworks to responses without community participation.
