Climate change & Environmental Degradation Risk & Adaptation assessment Introduce self Circulate attendance sheets Refer to networking exercise – say that the questions are all relevant to different workshop sessions House rules CEDRA Intro: Do we understand how CC will impact our communities? How does ED add to this? Other issues – food security, water, etc? How resilient are our programmes? How do we prioritise? Which is the greatest risk? What is adaptation? CEDRA is a document with a process to guide us through tihs FIRST – A QUIZ – WITH A PRIZE I’ll trust you to be honest But watch your neighbours! I’ll ask the questions, stand up in response to one of the options If anyone gets them all right, they get a prize! [Facilitator’s name]
Workshop Purpose To explore together . . .
An overview of the science of climate change
What climate change impacts to prepare for Do we know how CC will impacts our communities & projects? Are we facing floods or drought? More disease? Conflict? Displacement? Which communities are the most vulnerable? How would we know? Are our projects resilient? How would we know if they’re going to fail? CEDRA guides us through all these issues
Climate change interaction with other related issues environmental degradation deforestation Climate change interaction with other related issues food security climate change What should we prioritise? Climate change/ ED Food security Natural disasters Water resources Advocacy Renewable energy Natural resources Reforestation CEDRA helps us idenfity linkages and prioritise action natural disasters water & sanitation
How do we determine local climate change projections with any certainty?
Community participation Building on their resilience and coping mechanisms
What is adaptation. How does it differ from DRR What is adaptation? How does it differ from DRR? Sustainable livelihoods?
How do we prioritise our response? What are the biggest hazards?

TF have developed a tool to help you through this - CEDRA Logical structured process – simplifies understanding science, adaptation, priorities = programme resilience Identifying environmental hazards and climate change projections Community participation in developing responses - human right for inclusion Risk Management approaches: - prioritising climate change impacts to respond to - ensuring the sustainability of their project portfolios Adaptation plan Too big for one agency – multi agency Dissemination plan REVIEWED & ENDORSED BY DfID, OTHER DONORS & NGOs
