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

SUMMARY:Plenary Session on Finance and Investment
DESCRIPTION:About the Session:\nThis session will share good examples of finance and investment flows that allow building inclusive resilience society\, resilience of economic sectors\, of nature and of local communities against the adverse impacts of climate change\, trying to identify major gaps. This session will share examples of finance and investment by the Green Climate Fund\, the Global Environment Facility\, Multi-lateral Development Banks as well as from governments. It also aims to bring out some key messages and recommendations on actions required in the area of climate finance and investment to scale-up adaptation actions and enabling resilience for all.\nKey Messages: \n\nSignificant gap in financing and investing in adaptation actions is well recognised. The most vulnerable populations are not benefiting from current climate finance and investment. Only a fraction of adaptation finance that made available globally reach to them. Shift is necessary as this will not deliver intended results.\nTransformation is urgent and without shift from a time-bound that governed by a rigid results-based project financing “predict-and-act” approach to a wider approach to incorporate range of possible future climate risks and development scenarios\, it will not deliver intended long-term adaptation results.\n\nDownload Flyer\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Toward Locally Led Adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Toward Locally Led Adaptation: Fusion of Local and Scientific Knowledge and the Role of Universities in Strengthening Community Resilience \n\nDate: 10 March 2021\n\nTime: 14:00-15:30 (GMT+7)\nWhere: Online\n  \n\nRegistration\n\n\nDescription\nAgainst the backdrop of the current disconnect between local efforts and national frameworks and the urgency for locally led adaptation\, the session will discuss the importance of fusing traditional knowledge and scientific knowledge\, and of translating highly technical climate data and information into meaningful and simple user-friendly climate services products for local communities. A gender balanced panel representing different sub-regions of the Asia-Pacific and local level will highlight the gaps and challenges in doing so and suggest the steps forward to bring this into action. Finally\, the panel will explore what role universities\, given their multi-and-interdisciplinary pool of expertise and their connection with field-based research\, can play in building the capacity of local stakeholders to enable them as leaders of ‘locally led adaptation’ in strengthening community resilience. The session will be followed by an open discussion with the audience to bring in their perspectives and ideas.\n \nModerator\nProf. Saleemul Huq\, Director\, ICCCAD\n \nSpeakers\nMs. Ugyen Yangchen\, Lecturer\, College of Natural Resources\, Royal University of Bhutan\, Bhutan\nHon.

SUMMARY:7th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum
DESCRIPTION:About APAN\nThe Asia-Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN)\, developed and launched by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 2009 under the Global Adaptation Network (GAN)\, is the first regional adaptation network. \nAbout the 7th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum\nHosted by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MoEJ)\, Government of Japan\, together with the APAN Secretariat at UNEP\, the 7th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum will be held virtually on 8-12 March 2021 under the theme: Enabling Resilience for All: The Critical Decade to Scale-up Action\, sharing learnings from actions towards climate-resilient development. Resilience is the unifying theme of the Forum\, which is structured around four thematic “streams” focusing on (i) inclusive resilience; (ii) nature-based resilience (iii) economic sector resilience; and (iv) communities and local resilience.\nResilience embodies the desired end-point of adaptation\, applicable to natural\, human\, economic\, and engineered systems. Adequate enabling conditions through which resilience may be built on\, maintained\, and strengthened are identified as a) climate governance; b) planning and processes; c) science and assessment; d) technologies and practices; e) finance and investments. \n\nFull Programme\nRegistration

DESCRIPTION:This event will reflect on the current status of adaptation ambition and discuss what ‘success’ will look like at COP26. \n\n\n\nDate: Thu\, 11 February 2021\n\nTime: 16:30 – 18:00 (GMT+6)\nWhere: Online\, using Zoom\n  \n\nRegistration\n\nAbout this Event\nJoin this IIED and ICCCAD hosted online event on Thursday\, 11 February 2021 to hear expert perspectives on what climate adaptation and resilience success in 2021 looks like.\nThe impacts of climate change demand urgent action. There has been considerable attention on climate mitigation ambition in the lead up to COP26\, with some strong commitments coming through and more expected. But what about adaptation and resilience? As we move towards COP26\, what should our adaptation ambition look like and what more is needed in 2021 to drive a strong post-COP26 adaptation agenda?\nStrong adaptation commitments need to include a range of matters to have the best chance of success. This includes ensuring quantity and quality of financing and resourcing\, increasing transparency and accountability\, enabling locally-led actions by people and communities most affected by climate impacts\, and leveraging the power of nature to drive resilience for both local communities and the environment. The world is up against the clock to design and commit to strong and enduring adaptation commitments. How do we ensure we get there at COP26?\nFollowing on from the 1st Gobeshona Global Conference and the Climate Adaptation Summit\, this event will bring together speakers from government\, business and civil society to pitch what strong adaptation ambition at COP26 needs to look like\, what they are doing about it\, and how to judge what success looks like for us all. \nAbout the speakers\nSaleemul Huq (moderator) is the director of ICCCAD in Bangladesh\, and is an expert on the links between climate change and sustainable development\, particularly from the perspective of developing countries.\nSheela Patel is the founder and director of the Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres (SPARC) India\, which is based in Mumbai\, and works in partnership with the National Slum Dweller Federation and Mahila Milan.\nMike Barry is a change agent\, committed to helping business to prepare for and succeed in the great sustainability disruption that will wash through the economy in the 2020s.

SUMMARY:UN Food Systems Summit Action Track 5 - Public Forum
DESCRIPTION:Action Track 5 (AT5) – building resilience to vulnerabilities\, shocks and stresses- Public Forum\n\n\nDate: Thu\, February 4\, 2021\n\nTime: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM +06\nWhere: Online\, using Zoom\n  \n\nRegistration\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThe ambition of the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit is to launch a collective journey of transforming our food systems to give us the best possible chance of delivering on the 2030 Agenda. Everyone has a role to play in this. Only by coming together and challenging one another we can spark new ideas and create meaningful impact.\nNew and challenging risks are emerging in the already complex global food systems\, as evidenced by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, the impacts of which are skewed towards the world’s most vulnerable populations. In addition\, there are many other\, ongoing challenges\, including changing climate\, conflict\, fragility\, infectious diseases\, hunger that require solutions to build greater resilience within the current food system from production to consumption. To address this\, Action Track 5 (AT5) – building resilience to vulnerabilities\, shocks and stresses – is proposing actions to ensure that food systems\, which are affected by conflict\, environmental and economic shocks and stresses\, can maintain functionality\, recover from the effects of harmful events\, and improve to a better-off state. These actions include a focus on “productive disruption” in the context of global challenges – such as the health pandemics\, biodiversity loss and the global climate crisis.\nOur ambition is to ensure that all people are empowered to prepare for\, withstand\, and recover from instability and participate in a food system that\, despite shocks and stressors\, delivers food security\, nutrition and equitable livelihoods for all.\nOver the past weeks\, we have collected ideas for game changing solutions through a stakeholder consultation and different outreach channels. This process is being led by the AT5 leadership team: Chair Dr Saleemul Huq (ICCCAD)\, the Vice-Chairs Sandrine Dixson – Declève (Club of Rome) and Mike Khunga (SUN Youth Movement)\, the UN Anchor Agency – WFP\, and members of the Scientific Group. \nGet involved\nTo inform our next steps and stress test our first short list of options\, we would like to engage with you\, and further exchange so as to finalise a key list with detailed recommendations. We start the meeting by sharing the game changing solutions that the track has consolidated around 5 domains\, namely\, Environmental Resilience\, Economic Resilience\, Social Resilience\, Peace and Fragility and a cross-cutting domain. In this regard\, we would like your reflections on the following key questions:\n• Do the solutions proposed address food systems ‘resiliency’?\n• Do the solutions proposed have the potential to drive transformative change in food systems resilience across all geographies?\n• Do the solutions address key cross-cutting levers of change uch as human rights\, gender\, innovation and financing? \n\nRegister\nRegister: Please register your attendance here on Eventbrite prior to February 4.\nLive: This will be a live virtual forum taking place on Zoom. A link to join Zoom will be emailed to you prior to the event.\nRegistration
