  1. Research onCommunicating climate change risks for adaptation in coastal and delta communities in Vietnam DA NANG, QUY NHON, CAN THO CITIE

  2. Locations

  3. Partners • Lead research institute:National Institute for Science and Technology Policy and Strategy Studies (NISTPASS), Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) • Partnering research institute: Research Center for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change, Asian Management and Development Institute (AMDI) • Three participating cities: • Da Nang: Women’s Union • Quy Nhon and Can Tho: City Climate Change Coordination Offices

  4. Overall Objective To identify effective ways to improve and share diverse understanding of climate change and development related risks and uncertainties among stakeholders as a basis for supporting the reduction of the risks of water-related hazards and enabling adaptation of concerned stakeholders to climate change in coastal and delta communities in Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Can Tho Cities, Vietnam.

  5. Specific Objectives • 1) Assess how different stakeholders (including, officials, teachers and schoolchildren, residents and experts) understand types, levels and sources of climate and water-related risk and uncertainty. • 2) Facilitate learning among different stakeholder groups about each other understanding of risks and uncertainties and ways of responding to them. • 3) Strengthen locally-appropriate and participatory communications tools and support mechanisms for shared learning by multiple local stakeholders about changing climate risks, uncertainties and potential response mechanisms. • 4) Test the applicability, effectiveness and explore the limitations and advantages of several different information products and learning facilitation processes developed with stakeholder representatives in the target communities.

  6. Specific Objectives 5) Share findings of the risk communication study more widely with representatives from other coastal and delta communities with emphasis on incorporating salient findings into work programs for disaster risk reduction and local adaptation programs of action. 6) Policy and institutional recommendations at the national level to improve the way to communicate risks, thereby improving the implementation of the NTPs to Respond to Climate Change, the climate change action plan of coastal cities led by the Ministry of Construction. 7) Document project outcomes to disseminate in-country, in the region and international.

  7. What is SLD? • Tool introduced by ISET for engaging multi-stakeholder • Open process • Different knowledge: traditional, scientific, experiences … • Trust • Flexible

  8. SLD concept and approach (1) • an approach to participatory planning and problem solving in complex situations, characterized by non-extractive, mutual learning among participants.

  9. SLD concept and approach (2) • a stakeholder engagement process to involve stakeholders in preparing and implementing the climate change resilience strategy and action plan of cities in the framework of ACCCRN since 2009.

  10. SLD concept and approach (3) • Process of iterative deliberation, sharing of sector- or group- specific knowledge and knowledge from both local practitioners and external experts to improve the quality and effectiveness of resilience planning.

  12. Application of SLD in IDRC project Engage local working groups in developing communication models to answer the following questions: Who are the targeted audience? Who need to be involved in communication activities? what are the purposes of communication? What are the key messages? What tools and styles should be used? When should we do communication?

  13. Application of SLD in IDRC project Actors/stakeholders Purposes Shared Learning Dialogue Messages Styles Tools

  14. SLD for school children in Can Tho

  15. SLD for local community in Quy Nhon

  16. SLD for planners and policy makers in Quy Nhon

  17. Group discussion at SLD 1 with policy makers in Quy Nhon

  18. Initial results • Introduction of the concept and practice on SLD to local working groups • Involvement of key relevant stakeholders • Organized the 1st SLD to agree on the key related concepts, identify actors and purposes of risk communication

  19. Challenges • Communicating CC risk is new to most of stakeholders • Diversity in terms of background, interest • Need more time to prepare SLDs and high facilitation skills • CC is new and complex issue • Language barriers

  20. Some reflections • Good structure • Presence of diverse stakeholders • Active group discussion • High level of engagement and very active contributions comparing to traditional approaches • Continuity and close linkages between different activities
