1. Local climate stresses, vulnerability, and resilience
During the ToT we asked the participants to
work in groups,
put together all relevant information for their specific topic (water, climate, agriculture, governance, society and economy) and
present it to their colleagues

4. Rationale Objective Importance Application
Improve representation of and action at the local level
Integrate local knowledge on climate change in adaptation planning
Importance
Climate change global phenomena are manifested locally. Local level analysis gives insight in climate-related impacts on the ground, i.e. how people’s lives and their everyday activities are affected, and how they deal with challenge
Local interests deserve to contribute to planning processes of local concern
Local vulnerabilities can guide resource allocation
Local experience provides relevant adaptation knowledge also for other levels
Application
Local planning processes or project formulation, screening or revision

5. Entry points for adaptation at local level
Local government planning processes
Local service provision
Civil society processes
Participatory rural appraisal processes
M&E
Local government planning processes
village, district or city plans can consider climate change trends or scenarios and no-regrets adaptation (with strong co-benefits in the absence of climate change). These primarily have a 1-5 year time horizon.
Local service provision
technical expertise and information related to climate change adaptation can be provided to resource managers or farmers
Civil society processes
play an important role in informing decisions, and play the following roles: advocating for local people, informing research agendas, raising awareness, capacity development and service delivery in some cases (such as health, disaster risk reduction, etc).
Private sector
insurance and micro-financing provide opportunities to support adaptation
Participatory rural appraisal processes can incorporate the identification of climate vulnerability factors and integrate discussions about trends, priorities and options for adaptation
Monitoring and evaluation – can engage local entities in observing baseline conditions and tracking progress.

6. Climate information at local level
Scientific information needs to be translated into information relevant to the target group
Knowledge about past climate risks and coping strategies is embedded in local traditions, histories and practices and should be understood as a basis for adaptation to climate change
To gather local knowledge ...
use Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools: discussing livelihoods, valued assets, calendars, hazard mapping, interviews, etc.
gather stories, evidence, experienced trends
engage vulnerable groups
Knowledge about past climate risks and coping strategies is embedded in local traditions, histories and practices and should be understood as a basis for adaptation to climate change
The exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of particularly vulnerable groups, including women, children, the elderly, the poor, and others should be assessed proactively to ensure that problems are accurately understood and solutions appropriately targeted.
Methods based on rural appraisal techniques can improve problem analysis by including climate factors

7. Vulnerability functions
» For terminology, refer to training manual glossary

8. Exercise (1) Context Exhibits
The Talaran District Government decided to review Sustainable Rural Development projects in order to integrate adaptation to climate change
Community members take part in the project review your working group
A first stocktaking workshop on climate change impacts was recently conducted with all relevant stakeholders
Exhibits
Description of West State
Results from the stocktaking workshop (hazard map, list of problems the stakeholders identified, and selected stories)

9. Exercise (2) Your task  You are pastoralists or farmers Use Matrix 13
In column A discuss the key climate-related dynamics in your community:
What are the priority climate-related stresses to which you are exposed?
In which ways is your group sensitive to climate variability and change?
What is your group’s coping and adaptive capacity?
In column B identify Participatory Rural Appraisal tools that could be used to deepen understanding of these key dynamics
