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…
