  1. Ecosystem Based AdaptationWhat is it for?Who is it for? Edmund Barrow IUCN

  2. EbA What for • Adaptation • Ecosystem based approaches • Making case to reduce CC • Co-Benefits Who for • Global level (CCC etc.) • Regions & Nations • But key – people who bear the costs of climate change – rural But rural people seen as recipient, not owners of such change! International Union for the Conservation of Nature

  3. How can “We” learn How • Normal M&E (extractive) • Assessments (good for others, & for action) • Studies (extractive) & research Who should learn • Focus on national, organizations, international, research – which is all very good & important, but • What about sub-national (districts)?, & • What about rural people? But how do we empower rural peoples to learn, & articulate that learning so of use to them & for others International Union for the Conservation of Nature

  4. IUCN EbA Learning Framework • About to start to be used Union wide • Focus on “project cycle” & “Theory of change” • Can be applied at multiple scales – with emphasis on usability at the local level (& scaleable upwards) • Uses questions as main means • Simplicity & ease of use Very Briefly IUCN EbA Learning Framework is:-

  8. How to use EbA Learning Framework – role of Action Learning (research) Action Learning: Process in which a group of people with a shared issue of concern: • Collaboratively, systematically & deliberately plan, implement & evaluate actions; • combines action & investigation; • Investigation informs action; & • People learn from critical reflection on action • Will use the EbA learning questions as entry points

  9. Action Learning - Cyclical - Analysis, Plan, Implement, Observe, Reflect – then Analysis, Plan etc. Reflect Analyze current situation AL Cycle 1 Implement & Observe Plan Reflect Plan AL Cycle 2 Implement & Observe AL Cycle 3 etc.

  10. You Can Have Action Learning (AL) teams for different levels & themes National level AL Team Theme AL global Team Tenure District & landscape AL Team Theme AL District Team Tenure Community 2 AL Team Community 1 AL Team International Union for the Conservation of Nature

  11. Action Learning + EbA Learning Framework promotes learning & empowerment • Structured simple process • Ownership at (in particular) local level (women, men, indigenous, youth etc), but also can be higher level (e.g. district) • Creates lessons & stories that can be scaled upwards (other projects, other countries – inform & influence) • Basis for case studies, more detailed research • Basis for comparison & making larger case • Moving from extracting knowledge to empowering to learn & own. • EbA must matter to & be owned by rural people!
