SUMMARY:South Asia Regional Resilience Hub
DESCRIPTION:  \nICCCAD believes that placing local constituencies from local geographies at the center of the discussion allows front-line leaders to share their local adaptation strategies and internal knowledge and experience to engage with external knowledge and enhance their understanding of the impact of climate. Movement building is most effective within your own locality. Organizing constituencies within local geographies makes it easier to understand the nature of power\, engage with it\, demand accountability and be accountable. \n\nProgramme of Events\nThe inaugural event of this year’s South Asia Regional Resilience Hub will be held on 20 September 2022 virtually with the speech from world renown climate scientist Dr. Saleemul Huq\, Director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD). The ICCCAD will host the event focusing on the frontline people who directly dealing with the adverse effect of climate change in South Asia.\nThe events hosted at the South Asia Region Hub at COP26 was an eye opener and gave ICCCAD a glimpse of the possibilities of going deeper and engaging specific geographical constituencies from the frontlines at the regional hub at COP27.\nICCCAD believes that by placing specific constituencies at the center of these discussions gives a deeper\, more nuanced and rounded understanding of specific local adaptation strategies and vulnerabilities based on specific geographies.\n To know more visit the event page

The photos and narratives synthesise local experience and organise shared collective analysis of the relationships between problems and their causes. The process of reflection and reflexivity is directly linked to action for climate justice and is shaped by an understanding of history\, culture and local context. \nRead More \n\nThose who will not be able to participate physically in the session\, use the link below to watch live on the YouTube channel \nLink:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGgb2lCUZgs.  \nWe look forward to seeing you tomorrow\, whether in person or online.

SUMMARY:Community-led Adaptation: Water is Life
DESCRIPTION:Significant climate impacts have begun to rattle the communities around the world…heat waves\, wildfires\, cloud bursts\, cyclones\, floods\, droughts…While experts and policy-makers debate causes and mitigation models\, local communities\, largely the poor and vulnerable\, bear most of the consequences of such climate changes. They struggle to find local solutions to adapt vigorously and minimize adverse consequences on their livelihood and well-being.\nWater is at the centre of the impacts. Deforestation causes changes in rainfall patterns; chemicals used in intensive farming and urban over-usage (and wastage) have been causing depletion of groundwater\, with reducing recharge. Rapid commercialisation of coastal areas\, wet-lands and mangroves is further destroying natural water carrying systems. The pandemic of past 18 months has hugely disrupted the global-supply chain\, thereby raising questions about relevance of universal policies\, irrespective of contextual particularities.\nLocal communities in rural areas have been relying on their local resources to face the pandemic; they are using local technologies based on indigenous knowledge for water harvesting\, storage and distribution. The choice of crops\, grazing of cattle and seasonality of migration are influenced by their knowledge of water\, rainfall\, and equitable practices of governance of water in and by the community.\nAs many of these community-led models of water governance have been marginalized through pre-pandemic policies\, new efforts are required to reinvigorate community-led climate adaptation models. Fresh deliberations about policy and investment choices need to be undertaken simultaneously\, if countries like India want to build back fairer and sustainably in post- pandemic recovery.\nPRIA’s interventions in the past have focused upon integrating local traditional water practices with government’s programmes on water management. Mobilising Gram Sabha in PESA areas for community-led governance of natural resources\, including water and forests\, have been documented and disseminated by PRIA. Building local capacity of panchayats and civil society to co-govern water bodies by integrating these in local planning had also been undertaken in several states.\nLearning from practices being developed and followed in community-led adaptation to ensure that the ‘source of life: water’ is regenerated for future has become urgent. As part of its PRIA@40 conversations\, we are co-convening this dialogue in partnership with ICCCAD\, Bangladesh and UNNATI\, India on 1st October 2021 between 4 pm and 6 pm. The dialogue is aimed at discussing the following questions: \n\nWhat methods and approaches have been effectively deployed in many current examples of community-governed water arrangements?\nWhat lessons\, principles and strategies can be identified for more vigorous dissemination of community-led adaptation of water resources?\n\n \nProgram Design\n04:00- 04:10             Welcome and overview (Dr Anshuman Karol\, PRIA)\n(Moderator: Binoy Acharya\, Director\, Unnati\, Ahmedabad)\n04:10-04:25              Opening comments: Setting the stage \n\nProf Saleemul Huq\, Director\, ICCCAD\, Bangladesh\n\n04:25- 05:25             Panel discussion- Community led water management- Examples and case studies \n\nSwapni Shah\, Program Director\, Unnati\, Jodhpur\, Rajasthan\, India\nSanjay Joshie\, Executive Director\, Foundation for Ecological Security (FES)\, India \nA Vikranth Raja (IAS)\, Secretary\, Public Works Department\, Govt of Puducherry (tbc)\nJames Kharkongor\, Deputy Project Director\, Meghalaya Basin Development Agency\, Meghalaya\, India\nDr Sarder Shafiqul Alam\, Coordinator\, Urban Climate Change Programme and Country Coordinator\, ACCCRN-ICCCAD Bangladesh\nSusan Nanduddu\, Uganda\, Africa\n\n05:25- 05:35             Q&A\n 05:35- 05:50             Special Address: “Water: A Shared Commitment for Sustainable Management and Long-term Security”\nBharat Lal (IAS)\, Additional Secretary (JJM)\, Department of Drinking Water and  Sanitation\, Ministry of Jal Shakti\, Government of India (tbc)\n05:50- 06:00             Key takeaways and Ways Forward \n\nDr Rajesh Tandon\, Founder President\, PRIA\, India

SUMMARY:Regional dialogue series: scaling up locally-led adaptation
DESCRIPTION:At the COP26 Presidency’s Climate and Development Ministerial\, the world’s most vulnerable countries stated loud and clear the need for radical improvements in their access to climate finance\, and the need to increase support for locally led adaptation. Similar calls have also come through the Climate Vulnerable Forum and G7 meetings.\n\n\nIn partnership with the UN COP26 Presidency\, Race to Resilience and the Adaptation Action Coalition\, eight partners are collaborating to build on this momentum to support the scale-up in locally-led adaptation globally.\nSix peer-to-peer regional dialogues will be held across Asia-Pacific\, Africa\, and the Caribbean and Latin America.\nThe COP26 Presidency is pressing donors to improve and scale up their adaptation commitments\, including support to locally-led adaptation and access to finance. Locally-led adaptation is a central focus for the incoming Presidency\, and in the lead up to COP\, donors will convene to discuss how to improve adaptation financing at the local level.\nThe dialogues will offer a chance for countries and non-state actors to learn from each other and showcase the real potential for locally-led adaptation via direct and enhanced direct access models. \n\n\nRegistration\n\nFor more information\, contact Marek Soanes (marek.soanes@iied.org) or Tamara Coger (tamara.coger@wri.org)\n  \n\nExample fallback content: This browser does not support PDFs.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Role of universities in building long term climate capacities
DESCRIPTION:ICCCAD and PCCB Network Jointly Organizing Webinar on “Role of universities in building long term climate capacities” \n\n\nDate: 31 August 2021\n\nTime: 7:00 pm (Bangladesh time) / 03:00 pm (CET)\nWhere: Online (Zoom)\nRegistration \n\nAs efforts to implement the Paris Agreement move forward\, it is crucial to consider how the existing climate capacity building pattern can be changed so that funding earmarked for capacity building constitutes not just disparate expenditures without lasting effect\, but investments that build local capacities for decades and generations to come. Universities are tested institutions on education\, training\, public awareness\, research and technology development. They have a ripple effect across all segments and sectors\, reaching students (through curricula) to supplying graduates and experts\, thought leaders and policy makers. Even the small LDCs have at least one university\, with a certain level of multi-and-interdisciplinary expertise across disciplines\, including environmental science and natural resource management. Together with mainstreaming climate change education\, universities also can offer semester-long certificate programmes for stakeholders including government officials and NGO/private sector leaders. However\, universities\, particularly in Least Developed Countries (LDC) still face barriers which hinder the smooth transition of knowledge from generation to generation. In the road up to COP26\, it is crucial to share best practices and identify response actions to bridge capacity building gaps and needs for sustainable solutions.\nThis virtual workshop will focus on:\n(a) Role of universities in filling up the existing capacity gaps- Introducing LUCCC (LDC University Consortium on Climate Change)\n(c) Sharing country cases on effective use of universities as knowledge brokers\n(d) Existing barriers in preventing universities from effective capacity building\n(e) Bridging capacity building gaps and needs: Fostering collaboration between universities\, research institutions and other stakeholders

SUMMARY:SUNDARBANS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES: CO-CREATING TRANSFORMATIVE KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION
DESCRIPTION:Sundarbans Roundtable Session at ICCCAD Roundtable\n26 July 2021 at 17:00 to 18:30 (Bangladesh Time)\nCo-hosted by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) and the TAPESTRY project.\nThis roundtable will discuss the possibilities and results of transboundary research in the Indian and Bangladesh Sundarbans. Speakers will share views from their work on the nature and extent of boundaries; and how transboundary research can lead to transformative knowledge and action around gender\, livelihoods\, and natural resource management. Innovative research methods—including PhotoVoice and digital photo diaries—will offer visual context.\nDownload Flyer\nFor queries contact: Mahmuda Akter\, Email: mahmuda.mity@icccad.org\n\n  \n\nPANEL OF SPEAKERS\n\nDr Lars Otto Naess\, Institute of Development Studies\, UK\nProf Lyla Mehta\, Institute of Development Studies\, UK\nDr Saleemul Huq\, International Centre for Climate Change and Development\, Bangladesh\nDr Sumana Bandyopadhyay\, Calcutta University\, India\nDr Md. Kamrul Hassan\, University of Dhaka\, Bangladesh\nDr Camelia Dewan\, University of Oslo\, Norway\nMs Mahmuda Mity\, International Centre for Climate Change and Development\, Bangladesh\nDr Upasona Ghosh\, Indian Institute of Public Health\, Bhubaneshwar\, India\nMr Shibaji Bose\, TAPESTRY project\, West Bengal\, India\nMr Mihir R. Bhatt\, All India Disaster Mitigation Institute\, India\n\n  \n\nABOUT THE ROUNDTABLE\n \nThe Sundarbans remain one of the most complex and vulnerable areas in South Asia and an area where multiple socioecological challenges converge. It brings together issues such as sea level rise; delta management; collaborative role of India and Bangladesh in adaptation measures; large scale displacement; adaptive livelihood; and managed retreat. However\, as this delta area is divided between India and Bangladesh\, the action and research initiatives remain partial and recommendations become fractured. One way to address these challenges is to find ways to co-create studies on Sundarbans across the national boundaries\, so that transformative knowledge and action become possible in one of the most important locations in South Asia.\nThe aim of this roundtable is to share insights from recent and ongoing work both in the Indian and Bangladesh Sundarbans. The session is informed by the TAPESTRY project\, which has over six years of experiences of action research around uncertainty and transformation\, with a focus on livelihood and gender\, in the Sundarbans delta. Co-creation of knowledge with researchers by local leaders blur the boundaries—geopolitical and knowledge and ecological—between the two parts of Sundarbans delta. As there are as many similarities as there are dissimilarities\, the ongoing collaborative research work explores multiple Sundarbans\, simultaneous economic and ecologic\nal influences\, as well as various ways these influences are interpreted our contextualised by local and non-local individuals. Ultimately\, the project seeks to understand and help support emerging ‘patches’ of transformations\, working with local partner institutions for transformative knowledge and action.\nThe panel will share views from their work on the nature and extent of boundaries; and how transboundary research can lead to transformative knowledge and action around gender\, livelihoods\, and natural resource management. Innovative research methods—including PhotoVoice and digital photo diaries—will offer visual context from the Below to the participants. The roundtable will seek to generate insights on how transformative and transboundary knowledge helps unearth relations—social and economic and ecological—that are otherwise frozen in time between boundaries. This is especially urgent now in view of increasing vulnerabilities and risk due to climate change\, frequent high extreme cyclonic events\, and rapid ecological degradation and loss of habitats. The roundtable is facilitated by ICCCAD\, which is a leading international research organisation rooted in Bangladesh and leads work on local leadership in adaptation.\nThe TAPESTRY project includes IDS (UK)\, AIDMI\, IIT Bombay\, NMBU and NIVA (Norway)\, Kyoto University (Japan)\, Caritas\, and nine local organisations in India and Bangladesh.\n

SUMMARY:Online International Research Symposium 20-22 July 2021
DESCRIPTION:Towards Coordinated and Accelerated Action\nAs the COVID-19 pandemic rolls on\, urgent unfinished business piles up. Two vital issues demand our attention. The first is coping with the climate emergency by moving towards zero emissions and adapting to the changes that are already occurring. The second is ending world hunger\, eliminating poverty and achieving the rest of the demanding Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).\nBoth the climate and SDG agendas require massive investments in new technology and infrastructure. Both will require transformative reforms in governance and management to ensure that these agendas are equitable. Which raises the question: in the face of shrinking resources during and after the COVID-19 pandemic\, is it possible to coordinate and align these two huge efforts or must they compete for scarce resources?\nTo provide answers to this question\, the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP)\, a joint initiative between the University of Sussex and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS)\, together with the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development (CISD) at Utrecht University\, the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD)\, and other national and international partners\, are organising an online international symposium on 20-22 July 2021 entitled ‘Evidence for Action: Aligning the Climate and SDG Agendas’.\nWe call on the academic and international development community to join us in this symposium and provide evidence on particular policies and measures that can achieve the climate goals and SDGs at the same time. Particular attention will be given to those processes that encourage coordinated and accelerated action for transformative change at local\, national and global levels\, advance justice and protect rights\, and ensure that no one and no country is left behind.\nThe Symposium will provide input to the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 1-12 November 2021 which will bring together Heads of State\, climate experts\, campaigners and stakeholders from around the world to agree on coordinated action to tackle climate change. The COP provides a unique opportunity to inform an important community about how climate policies can be better coordinated with the SDGs\, and thereby save resources and achieve accelerated action on multiple goals. With this in mind\, the topics to be discussed at the Symposium will be linked with the themes of the COP.\nThe Symposium will build on recent UN activities in this area (including the 2019 UN Conference and the 2020 UN Consultation)\, as well as the Global Goals 2020 International Symposium co-hosted by the CISD\, SSRP and partners. It will identify specific policies and measures to align and accelerate the two agendas. It will cover not only the green recovery\, but also dive deeper into the synergy between climate and environmental justice\, linkages between climate and health goals\, and the mutual benefits of climate adaptation and development strategies.\nA Call for Abstracts has now been published at this link. \n\nDeadline for submitting abstracts: April 14\, 2021\nExpected notification of accepted abstracts: May 5\, 2021\n\n\nVisit Event Page\nCall for Abstracts
