CEDRA climate change and environmental degradation risk and adaptation assessment workshop
This participatory workshop is designed to help organisations to assess the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation at organisational level and to choose the most effective adaptation options across all sectors that they work in. We will consider issues such as:
How do we determine local climate change projections with any certainty?
How do we identify local community coping mechanisms and resilience?
How does climate change interact with other related issues of environmental degradation, food security, water stress and “natural” disasters?
What is adaptation? What’s the difference between disaster risk reduction, sustainable livelihoods and climate change adaptation?
How do we prioritise our response? What is the greatest risk our communities, partners and programmes face? Which communities are most vulnerable? Which projects are most resilient?
The workshop will seek to share learning between different agencies and will share Tearfund’s tool CEDRA which takes us through a structured, risk management based approach to these issues, as well as looking at other agencies’ tools and approaches
