DEVELOPING CAPACITY FOR PLANNING ADAPTATION the platform formerly known as ClEAR
How do users engage with climate adaptation? • Different entry points • Specific outcomes • Learning from each other, and by doing Source: Centres for Climate Adaptation collaborating programme with UNEP and others
Developing prototypes with users • Bolivia: Policy analysis in targeting adaptation • Mali: Water & livelihoods in semi-arid areas • Nepal: Framing NAPAs, monitoring risk • Zambia: risk communication and planning Source: Prepared using AWhere
A process developing a platform to serve practitioners …shell; server; prototypes, examples, video; user guide, tutorial, reference library; policy frameworks, stakeholder analysis & engagement, policy-institutional capacity, vulnerability-exposure matrix, vulnerability assessment handbook, risk mapping (AWhere), climate trends & envelopes, links to impacts modelling (WEAP, CropSys), links to policy modelling (GAMS, RePast), criteria data base, adaptation data base, multi-criteria assessment, decision screening, policy scenarios & exercises, risk communication, participatory video, storyboards…(priorities for 2007)
Stakeholder analysis & engagement • Competence in planning and implementing adaptation as a process of social learning • From policies to strategies to actions • Levels of analysis • Selecting appropriate methods
Multi-attribute, social vulnerability • Vulnerability-exposure • Use climate information • Update climate time series • Large ensemble climate scenarios Selection of climate station data available in AWhere
Robust decision paradigm • Value of information in reducing uncertainty in making a decision • Envelopes of future conditions • Participatory, learning, social process Video from ACCCA inception workshop in Burkina Faso
Adaptation as a social process • Shared understanding • Risk communication • Storyboards, participatory video, templates
A partnership open source/object/access • ENDA, SEI, UCT...AWhere Inc…UNITAR, UNEP • To provide a platform a shared space • Through prototypes learning by doing • For practitioners to support users • ACCCA, CCAA, CLACC, NAPA, NCAP… • In developing good practice be practical! …an invitation to join the partnership…
