The
primary aim of this 3-day workshop is to share the latest developments in
adaptation programmes, priorities and solutions, through knowledge
dissemination between participants.
The
workshop will consist of plenary sessions, presentations by experts and
community level practitioners, discussion panels and group discussion on
issues, solutions and methods. The workshop has been carefully designed to
maximise information sharing between relevant actors and institutions.
The
workshop themes cover emerging issues in community adaptation including
international institutions and funding mechanisms, effects
of climate change on different sectors, linking climate change adaptation
to other development priorities, mainstreaming adaptation,
plus methodological issues such as stakeholder engagement and
vulnerability assessment and identifying and evaluating adaptation
options. Particular attention will be given to lessons relevant to
improving the capacity of the most vulnerable groups of people and
improving livelihoods in developing countries and integrating these
lessons into international programmes and negotiation processes.
Papers
and the findings of group discussion will subsequently be compiled into
workshop proceedings for further dissemination worldwide.
The
workshop is open to everyone including policy-makers, non-government
organizations, research and policy institutes, academics, plus
practitioners with grassroots experience of adaptation project works.
