The presentation focuses on the importance of investing in human capital in building and strengthening community resilience against disasters. It is evident that poor health and education impact longer term employment opportunities and income prospects for young people entering into job market. Lower income and/or employment opportunities thus in turn affect the capacity of individuals, families and communities as a whole to respond effectively and efficiently to shocks, stress and disasters. That’s why it becomes crucial to invest for building human capital which in the longer run helps strengthening resilience and coping capacity.
The presentation targets to build awareness and sensitization among the stakeholders involved in community resilience and disaster risk reduction.

Challenges for the Disaster and Crisis Management – Identification of dimensions for the cooperation of governmental and non governmental organisations
UNDP Sub-Regional Facility (SRF) organized a workshop for UNCT in Jordan on Resilience-Based Development Approach (RBDA) in June 2014, with the purpose of introducing RBDA that contributes to long-term development with an eye on potential threatening shocks and crises, current and future and discuss how to operationalize it in the context of Jordan to improve UNCT’s responses collectively.
With attendance of various UN agencies from both humanitarian and development fields, the workshop started with the presentation to understand and share the concept of RBDA and its guiding principles, followed by introduction of examples of operationalizing RBD. Several exercises were conducted to demonstrate possible responses using RBDA using Gender-Based Violence, and to analyze planned activities under National Response Plan against RBDA. And come up with outcomes these activities would bring and how it can be scaled up in the future, in ‘cope/ recover/sustain and transform’ categories.
At the heart of the RBDA is that we do not just respond to humanitarian crises with an eye to the long term, but we also pursue long-term development with an eye of potential threatening shocks and crises, current and future. It is suitable to respond to protracted Syrian crisis and for host countries in particular, and now there is a strong and urgent need for UNCT to ensure bridging between humanitarian and development effort in a holistic and collective. In the workshop, agencies shared their responses that applies RBDA, difficulties they found in implementation and different tools to measure vulnerabilities and resilience. It was agreed among participants that ‘resilience’ building cannot be done by single agency or single project and that we need to bring about innovative partnerships. UNDP SRF will be taking lead in gathering existing tools, analyze and create collective tool for UNCT, and in coordinating such workshops at country level and regional level and create new knowledge.

Building Resilience to Recurrent Crisis USAID POLICY AND PROGRAM GUIDANCE Dr Lendy Spires
I am pleased to present USAID’s first-ever policy and program guidance on building resilience to recurrent crisis. Drawn from decades of experience providing humanitarian relief and development assistance, this guidance aims to reduce chronic vulner- ability and promote more inclusive growth in areas of recurrent crisis. Ultimately, we seek to save and improve lives and decrease the need for repeated infusions of humanitarian assistance in these areas. The importance and urgency of this work has been made clear over the past year. In 2011, the worst drought in 60 years plunged 13.3 million people into crisis in the Horn of Africa. Only a few months later, another crisis emerged in the Sahel, where millions of people have suffered from the devastating impacts of drought, conflict, and other pressures.The widespread need seen in these two regions reflects similar difficulties facing communities across the globe; in far too many places, families often rely on humanitarian assistance, year after year, just to survive. In response to these emergencies, the international community provides significant levels of lifesaving relief, largely concentrated in just a few countries. Over the last decade, approximately US $90 billion was spent by international donors in just nine coun- tries, accounting for almost 50 percent of all humanitarian assistance during this period. During the same time, three-quarters of USAID humanitarian assistance was spent in just 10 countries. Global trend lines and projections show clear and continuing growth in humanitarian need in certain regions, and climate change threatens to exacerbate both the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and undercut important development gains. We can do better.That’s why USAID is working with committed and accountable governments and international partners to build resilient societies even while saving lives in times of crisis

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

state institutions often not capable (or willing) to take appropriate
measures to deal with effects of crisis and to protect the population
from risks
combination of complex stresses and low resilience can lead to
permanent vulnerability that constrains development of societies and
individuals and fosters poverty
The approach strengthening the resilience of individuals, societies and
institutions strives to break the vicious circle of emergency situations and
chronic poverty in order to enable long-term development perspectives.

Working Definition of ‘Resilience‘
What are the parts to look for?
Resilience is…
„… the ability of states, organisations and individuals to cope
with and quickly recover from shocks or stresses resulting from
fragile contexts, crises, violent conflict and extreme natural
hazards, and to constantly adapt to changing circumstances and
transform where it is necessary to guarantee sustainable
development.

Resilience plays a central role as the guiding cross-sectoral concept in the
German ‘Strategy of Transitional Development Assistance’ (BMZ):
Overarching aim of transitional development assistance is to strengthen the
resilience of people and institutions to withstand the impact and
consequences of crises, violent conflict and extreme weather events.
Resilience likewise increasingly relevant in a variety of other sectors as, for
example, Climate Change Adaptation, Rural Development and Agriculture,
Good Governance, Peace and Security.
Challenges for all actors: How to operationalize the paradigm ‘Strengthening
Resilience’ of people, communities and institutions? How to avoid just to add
the ‘Resilience label’ to project titles but to make a real difference?
The Challenge: Translating Resilience into Programming
7. Page 7
Learning with different implementing partners (NGOs, GIZ, WFP) on HOW TO
OPERATIONALIZE resilience and LRRD in five programmes
in Madagascar, Haiti and South Sudan.
Objectives:
(1) systematically share, analyse and compile lessons learnt and good practice from
project implementation through a facilitated Dialogue Platform, and
(2) integrate these experiences into existing and future concepts, projects and political
positioning.
A final learning conference, presumably in the end of 2015, is planned to summarize the
outcomes.
Key questions to be answered:
How can ‘Strengthening Resilience’ be effectively realized in project planning and
implementation?
How do we know, that we are successful in ‘Strengthening Resilience’? How can we
measure impact of resilience strengthening measures? How can resilience be
measured?
Where are the limits and boundaries of the concept?

Resilience offers options to …

multi-level approaches

Everything new?
• Many programmes are already focusing on the
strengthening of resilience on different levels.
• First experiences exist, we do not start by ‚0‘.
• The approaches do not follow (yet) a concrete
resilience strategy.
More ideas and thoughts on resilience:
• Resilience means to support the ability to act.
• The ability to act is always based on the
prerequisite to take informed decisions
• To be able to take informed decisions,
mechanisms for articulation and aggregation of
opinions, options and interests do have to be
strengthened on local, regional and national
level.

COSERAM – Some Achievements
GIZ | Div. 48 Security, Reconstruction and Peace
from a resilience perspective
Enhanced security of tenure empowers local communities and claimants.
Obtaining clear land titles and support of titling claims helps (indigenous)
communities and individuals to define and pursue their own development
objectives before they are overrun by externally steered processes.
Increasing government awareness
… of peace and development needs and urgency to be reflected in
development plans and budgets
… to understand and address concerns of indigenous people.
Emphasizing empowerment, ownership, and participation while focusing
on disadvantaged groups contributes to empowering the society to make
the best possible choices with special regard to conflict and resource
management.

Key lessons drawn from GIZ‘s work
GIZ | Div. 48 Security, Reconstruction and Peace
• Trivial but fundamental: comprehensive understanding of the context: actors, frame
conditions, policies, interrelated and interdependent factors and effects etc.
Thorough analysis as cornerstone for sound design and implementation of
programme.
• Abandon compartimentalised technical approach in favour of holistic and systemic
attitude. Plan synergies: Analyse gaps and enforce linkages between levels and
sectors to create and enhance impact.
• Linking policies, government institutions, and local actors.
Understanding inter-linkages of risks; integration into planning and operations helps
to build resilience of communities, individuals, as well as the state and its
institutions.
Acceptance that there are no quick solutions and a need for long-term constructive
engagement in order to create sustainable and inclusive (economic) development.
