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.

COMESA-CCAFS Malawi Beating Famine: CSA Session
This document discusses regional climate-smart agriculture preparedness in East and Southern Africa. National climate-smart agriculture planning processes are ongoing in several countries in the region, facilitated by various organizations. The planning process typically involves three stages: visioning to determine goals, plan development, and national validation. The resulting country climate-smart agriculture program plans include sections on productivity, resilience, mitigation co-benefits, coordination, financing, and monitoring. Recommendations for the planning process include ensuring government support, using creative facilitation to encourage innovative thinking, and addressing the lack of evidence within constrained timelines.
13. assessing climate risk and vulnerability by system
This document discusses the CLICC (Climate Impact, Consistency and Communication) initiative to create a common process for countries to assess and communicate climate change impacts in a consistent, comparable way. It notes that current assessments use different approaches, making comparisons difficult. The CLICC templates aim to address this by standardizing impact ratings, confidence levels, data quality and time periods across key sectors. Six pilot countries tested the templates, finding they provided a transparent, traceable way to present observed and projected climate risks. The templates could allow more effective information exchange, collaborative research and capacity building between countries.

This document summarizes a regional training workshop on National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) for the Pacific region held in Fiji in July 2017. It discusses the CLICC (Climate Impact, Climate Information Communication) templates, which provide a common process for countries to consistently assess and communicate climate impacts. The templates were developed through consultation with 31 countries and tested in 6 pilot countries, including Vietnam. The Vietnam pilot found climate change increased risks to fisheries, food security and livestock from changes in temperature, precipitation, and increased storms. The templates help identify adaptation strategies and actions to manage climate risks at local to global scales, such as choosing suitable crop species, managing production processes, and supporting research.
Prioritising Climate Smart Agriculture
Prioritising Climate Smart Agriculture CCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
The document discusses the development of decision support tools to help prioritize climate-smart agriculture investments and actions. It outlines the need for such tools from governments and donors to move beyond lists of options to identify portfolios of practices. The proposed prioritization tool would use a climate-smart agriculture compendium database and indicators to assess tradeoffs between options across social, economic and environmental dimensions. The tool development process is participatory and aimed at identifying best-bet climate-smart agriculture portfolios for specific contexts through pilots in 2014.Can Offsets Be Used to Achieve Recovery Objectives for Species at Risk?
The document discusses whether offsets can be used to achieve recovery objectives for species at risk. It finds that applicability of offsets to species at risk will be limited due to factors like lack of knowledge about species and restoration techniques. Offsets may be possible in specific cases under strict conditions, where the net gain can be clearly quantified and is consistent with recovery objectives. At present, there is insufficient evidence to determine if offsets will or won't work for species at risk in Canada.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada: Offsets and the Fisheries Protection Program
Fisheries and Oceans Canada: Offsets and the Fisheries Protection ProgramInstitute of the Environment
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) presented on its Fisheries Protection Program and how biodiversity offsets fit into the program. The Fisheries Act prohibits causing serious harm to fish and requires decision-making to support fishery sustainability. DFO's offsetting policy aims to maintain fishery productivity by avoiding, mitigating, and offsetting harm. Offsetting must be considered where serious harm cannot be avoided and becomes an enforceable authorization condition. DFO provides guidance on developing offset plans to select appropriate measures guided by principles like balancing project impacts and supporting long-term fishery benefits. Habitat restoration and creation are examples of offsetting options.Adaptation 2
This document outlines a conceptual framework and proposed methodology for investigating the adequacy of adaptation strategies to climate impacts like sea level rise, drought, and flooding. It involves:
1) Analyzing factors that influence climate impacts and the effectiveness of adaptation strategies through a literature review and meta-analysis.
2) Conducting pilot studies in select communities across regions to develop and test methods for assessing coping strategies and their outcomes on food security, livelihoods, and the environment.
3) Developing climate-resilient policy recommendations based on evidence from evaluating current adaptation strategies and their societal consequences. The goal is to generate generally applicable methods for assessing rural producers' strategies under climate change.
Tonna-Marie Rogers: Great Marsh Symposium
This document discusses a community outreach project in the Great Marsh area to help local officials and residents adapt to risks from sea level rise and coastal storms. It describes creating an educational video to raise awareness of these risks, potential adaptation strategies, and actions community members can take. The video will highlight economic impacts of past storms, increasing storm intensity, threats to recreation, and the need to protect natural ecosystems. It will feature local voices, case studies of current efforts, and iconic places at risk to inspire support for investing in resilience. The project aims to enhance outreach in the region and provide an example for communicating about adaptation.
The Ecological Context for Biodiversity Offsetting in Canada
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.

Mark Howden from the ANU Climate Change Institute discussed challenges and opportunities for adapting to climate change. He summarized that the impacts of climate change on crop yields are increasingly understood, but there is still significant uncertainty and gaps in knowledge. Adaptations considered have largely been incremental changes to existing systems, but more transformational and systemic adaptations may be needed. Effective adaptations consider social and institutional factors like information networks, norms, and adoption paths. Looking at whole food systems and value chains can help integrate climate issues with other opportunities and pressures. Research to operations requires addressing potential conflicts of interest and clearly communicating a diverse range of adaptation options and their risks and benefits.Christopher B.

CCAFS aims to help agriculture and food systems adapt to and mitigate climate change through research. It has 4 themes: 1) adaptation to progressive climate change through technologies, practices and policies; 2) adaptation through managing climate risk at farm and food system levels; 3) pro-poor climate change mitigation; and 4) integration for decision making. Research is conducted in 3 focus regions - Indo-Gangetic Plains, West Africa, and East Africa - home to over 1 billion people dependent on agriculture. The goals are to close yield gaps, develop new adaptation strategies, and enable supportive policies and institutions from farm to national levels to strengthen food security under climate change.
Scaling-up CSA in Malawi, successes, challenges, opportunities
1) Agriculture is central to Malawi's economy but is vulnerable to increasing climate hazards like droughts and floods.
2) Analysis found that conservation agriculture techniques like minimum soil disturbance (MSD) increased yields, profits, and resilience compared to conventional tillage, especially in drier areas.
3) However, higher costs of MSD may limit smallholder adoption without incentives. Policy and institutional support can help address barriers to scaling up climate-smart agricultural practices in Malawi.

Shelter from the Storm? Household-Level Impacts of, and Responses to, the 201...
As extreme weather events intensify due to climate change,
it becomes ever more critical to understand how vulnerable
households are to these events and the mechanisms
households can rely on to minimize losses effectively. This
paper analyzes the impacts of the floods that occurred
during the 2014/15 growing season in Malawi, using a
two-period panel data set. The results show that while yields
were dramatically lower for households severely affected
by the floods, drops in food consumption expenditures
and calories per capita were less dramatic. However, dietary
quality, as captured by the food consumption score, was
significantly lower for flood-affected households. Although
access to social safety nets increased food consumption outcomes,particularly for those in moderately-affected areas,
the proportion of households with access to certain safety
net programs was lower in 2015 compared with 2013.
The latter finding suggests that linking these programs
more closely to disaster relief efforts could substantially
improve welfare outcomes during and after a natural
disaster. Finally, risk-coping strategies, including financial
account ownership, access to off-farm income sources,
and adult children living away from home, were generally
ineffective in mitigating the negative impacts of the floods.
Climate mitigation and livelihoods improvements
This document summarizes a regional consultation workshop on integrating climate-smart disaster risk management into sustainable livelihoods programming in Cambodia. Flood and drought are the main climate hazards that occur annually, negatively impacting agricultural production. Several NGOs and UN agencies are working to strengthen communities' resilience to drought. Their projects have implemented drought-resistant agricultural techniques, established community organizations, conducted research with farmer participation, mobilized local resources, and promoted alternative livelihoods and market access to improve food security. Key lessons identified include the importance of grassroots organizations in disaster response and participatory research in promoting innovative solutions.
FAO Presentation on CSA
This document discusses climate-smart agriculture (CSA) implementation support in Malawi from 2012-2015. It provides background on climate trends in Malawi, the importance of agriculture to the economy and climate impacts. The CSA project aims to increase productivity and incomes, build resilience to climate change, and reduce greenhouse gases in agriculture. The project uses evidence from research, policy analysis, and capacity building to develop strategic frameworks and policy advice to support CSA adoption and financing. The vision is for a climate-adapted agricultural sector based on evidence-based planning and widespread CSA practices. Key entry points for scaling out CSA include aligning it with existing agricultural strategies and investments.

Assessment of seed system programs against the One CGIAR Theory of Change: A...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
This document outlines the methodology for assessing seed system programs against the One CGIAR Theory of Change. It describes a 5-step process for program managers and colleagues to assess: 1) the characteristics of the seed system and case boundaries, 2) activities and importance of action areas, 3) impact areas, targets, and indicators and contributions, 4) importance of innovation pathways, and 5) observations. Key aspects include scoring relative importance and contributions across action areas, impact areas, indicators, and innovation pathways. Progress and spheres of control, influence, and interest are also scored for innovation and capacity development examples. The assessment aims to evaluate programs' alignment with CGIAR's Theory of Change.Community Based Adaptation as a Pillar of National Adaptation Efforts
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.

This document summarizes a presentation on unpacking systemic gender inequality across institutional landscapes in watershed research. The presentation discusses how gender norms and values of institutional stakeholders remain a "black box" in gender research. It notes that while gender is a cross-cutting theme in CGIAR research, organizations and institutional actors who shape policies are less researched. The presentation describes a study that used interviews to understand the perspectives of watershed scientists and development practitioners regarding gender competencies and inclusion in watershed programs and research. It found evidence of "hydropatriarchies" in watershed institutions and a need to better represent local knowledge and marginalized voices.Gender and social inclusivity in restoration projects – how does policy inten...

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skillsPhenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Understanding Resilience
- 1. Understanding resilience combining analysis, mapping and community-based planning for improved food security programming
- 2. WFP in Cambodia • Education • Nutrition • Productive Assets and Livelihoods Support (PALS) 3 core pillars
- 3. CLEAR: Consolidated Livelihood Exercise for Analyzing Resilience CAMBODIA Objective: to understand how specific livelihoods (micro livelihood zones) are affected by natural resource management, weather or climate impacts. The overall aim is to: 1) Identify key at risk livelihoods 2) Better inform ongoing programmes and the design of new programmes
- 4. CLEAR: Micro Livelihood zones Field visits and meetings with local governments Consultations/ validations with local government identified 271 livelihood zones across all 25 provinces of Cambodia
- 5. CLEAR: Projected Climate Change Impacts: Changes in precipitation, temperature and drought % Change in drought months: 2050 -11 --10.9 -10.8 -0 0.1 -1010.1 -2020.1 -3030.1 -40 40.1 -54.3
- 6. CLEAR: Livelihood zones likely to experience highest impact of irregular rains Uniformity of rainfall Climate sensitivity of income Livelihoods most impacted by irregular rains Livelihood resilience
- 7. CLEAR: Livelihood zones likely to experience highest impact of irregular rains Impact of uniformity of rainfall Paddy-based Livelihoods most at risk of irregular rains Population Livelihood diversity
- 10. Programmatic impact Chey commune Chey commune, Kampong Thom • Micro livelihood analysis, overlaid with climate change data (in this particular case drought vulnerability) helped ‘guide’ the conversation when engaging with villagers • Armed with the ‘science’ knowledge, next step was to understand vulnerable peoples’ self-identified needs and priorities
