CLIMAAX came to the 8th edition of the #EuropeanCivilProtectionForum in #Brussels, #Belgium on 5 June, represented by Prof. Daniel Sempere-Torres! The director of #CRAHI Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and co-coordinator of the project gave one of the opening presentations for the participatory workshop entitled 'Reducing risks together: bringing disaster resilience and climate adaptation strategies' organised in partnership with MYRIAD-EU project. A 6-minute presentation on the CLIMAAX project highlighting the interest for #CivilProtectionAuthorities, contributing to trigger discussions on how to align strategies for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation in different contexts in the EU, and fostering the exchange of ideas among the more than 100 attendees, including policymakers, scientists, and professionals. It was also an opportunity to announce the 2nd #CLIMAAXOpenCall to help regions make a climate risk assessment to be launched on 1st July. ℹ Find out more on how to apply and stay tuned for updates! 👇 https://bit.ly/4bNkUem .

#GICNetwork #ClimateChange and #Conflict in the Ruzizi Plain #DRC Research Report This report is based on a case study on the links between climate change and conflict dynamics in the Ruzizi Plain, South Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The study has been conducted as part of the interdisciplinary KLIMSEC project. The aim of this case study is to provide contextual, empirical knowledge by focusing on the way local communities experience the complex interlinkages between climate change­ related environmental distress and conflict dynamics in the Ruzizi Plain located in South Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – a region which has for decades been affected by varying degrees of instability and insecurity. The report discusses the way in which climate change effects play out locally in South Kivu’s Ruzizi Plain, and how they interact with, add to, or alter existing conflict dynamics in this territory. It has found that both sudden onset climate change impacts, such as flooding, and slow onset impacts, such as drought and changing vegetation patterns, aggravate livelihood vulnerabilities and existing tensions over resources within Ruzizi Plain communities. Honoured to have taken part in this Research Project!🙏 Link: https://lnkd.in/d5dJsspb

Good to see more sustainabilty investment in resarch using Indigenous knowlege and 21st Century needs.

Climate change risks are intricate and interconnected, with impacts spanning through natural and human systems in unpredictable ways. Exploring these interconnections through a One Health and climate change perspective is crucial for science-based adaptation. Canada's Climate Science 2050 Report serves as a comprehensive national synthesis essential for building a resilient, carbon-neutral Canada. Section 5.5 of the report delves into a critical research topic on One Health and Climate Change Nexus Science, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this knowledge gap. Grateful for the collaboration of eight departments and agencies in supporting the CFIA to develop this pivotal section. #climateadaptation, #OneHealth. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dbrK7TBu

🚀 Calling all colleagues and researchers! 🚀 We are excited to invite you to submit your abstracts for the session we're organizing at the AGU Fall Meeting, which will take place from December 9-13, 2024, in Washington, D.C. Our session is titled "Robustness of Climate Change Information for Decisions" and aims to identify research directions and enhance climate information provision for effective decision-making and adaptation. Session Scope: The provision and use of climate information are vital for addressing climate change risks. This session will delve into the robustness of climate change information for decisions, engaging the climate science community and stakeholders from diverse sectors. It will explore challenges in information exchange and foster new dialogues on regional climate information. Contributions on successful outcomes, cross-cultural experiences, and methods of uncertainty communication are encouraged. Emphasis is placed on capacity building and co-production. Aligned with the World Climate Research Programme’s RIfS project, the session underscores context-specific actionable information and stakeholder engagement. Through presentations and discussions, it aims to identify research directions and enhance climate information provision for effective decision-making and adaptation. Submission Deadline: July 31 Submit your abstract here: https://lnkd.in/duriuAWV Please feel free to share this message with any colleagues who might be interested in this topic. This session is motivated by the activities conducted under the WCRP Regional Information for Society (RIfS) project. We can’t wait to see you there! #ClimateChange #AGU24 #ClimateInformation #ClimateScience #RiskManagement #ClimateAdaptation #WCRP #RIfS #StakeholderEngagement World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) World Meteorological Organization

🌊 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are particularly vulnerable to ocean-climate impacts but solutions exist.   This side event during Our Ocean Conference will explore different strategies and partnership opportunities available to build in ocean-climate resilience for SIDS and support their transition to sustainable ocean economies. In particular, the Blue Recovery Hubs, the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance and the Pacific Resilience Facility will be highlighted as solutions to help small island states address their vulnerabilities, provide evidence-based policy support and mobilize relevant stakeholders.   Coastal resilience in the climate crisis: Supporting solutions for small island developing states 📆 11:00-11:50, Tuesday 16 April 2024. 📍 Multifunctional Room 1, Our Ocean Conference ℹ https://lnkd.in/eWr2pGiZ   Hosted by: U.S. Department of State, OECD Development, World Resources Institute, World Economic Forum   Speakers Opening remarks: The Honorable Mark Brown, Prime Minister of the Cook Islands; Chair, Pacific Islands Forum Moderator: Sue Biniaz, U.S. Principal Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Panelists H.E.

The SCORE Project will be present at the Waves of Change Forum in Biarritz for the second consecutive year. This time we will have the opportunity to present the Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) methodology developed by NAIDER and used in the European Project. CBA provides a picture of the overall benefits versus costs of investing in nature-based solutions to climate change risks, thus facilitating decision-making in this type of project. The presentation will take place on 4 June at 16:30 at the Espace Bellevue Biarritz. The Waves of Change Forum will take place from 3 to 5 June and will bring together international blue and green economy experts: https://lnkd.in/dzHyH5hp #CostBenefitAnalysis #NatureBasedSolutions SCORE - Smart Control of the Climate Resilience in European Coastal Cities Salem Gharbia Iulia Anton Waves of Change Coalition Nicolas Occhiminuti
