PRELIMINARY EXPERIENCES IN ADDRESSING BARRIERS FROMSDC‘S PILOT INITIATIVES
The challenge
To find appropriated methods and tools for linking Climate change knowledge, policy decisions
(international and national) and knowledge/realities/coping strategies of farming communities
SDC‘s engagement in linking Climate Change and DevelopmentIntegrating the 3 Rio conventions into development: SDC internal capacity building & portfolio of projects
› UNDP-National Communication Support Programme: Tools for mainstreaming such the “Adaptation Policy Framework“
› IUCN/IISD/SEI/InterCooperation: Development of a community based risk screening tool livelihoods and adaptation – CRYSTAL
› India: Pilot projects in Agriculture/Water sector: Enhancing coping capacity of local communities in AndraPradesh and Rajasthan through policy support and adaptation technologies; “Information sharing system” with UNEP-GEF North India and Pakistan;
› Platform for renewable energy promotion
Key issues for V&A assessments and its implementation at local level
What are appropriate methodologies?
How to deal with the scale problem? Issues and terms change while moving from a country to a province/state to a village
Prioritizing short term adaptation measures(such as ICT) to address climate variability; (while long term interventions requiring structural adaptation of the sector are being worked on…..)
Role of technologies and practices to enhance adaptive capacity
SEGMENTATION IS A KEY ISSUES FOR LINKING

Need for appropriate methodologies and toolsAppropriate to the “scale” problem
› Learn how communities are exposed to climate variability/change impacts and already do adapt
› Support the process of decision-making at community and state level through optimized delivery systems
Tools/template useful for “integrated assessments” based on incomplete information
How to deal with fuzziness in analysis due to lack of appropriate time series of weather data and many other factors influencinglivelihoods?
CommunityCommunity--based Risk based Risk Screening Tool Screening Tool -- Livelihoods & Livelihoods & AdaptationAdaptationCRYSTAL CRYSTAL -- Purpose of the tool
› Enable users to assess a project’s impact on community-level adaptive capacity
› Assist users in making project adjustments to improve adaptation impact (planned, ongoing)
› Serve as component of larger toolkit, or compendium of adaptation tools

Preliminary conclusions of situation analysis
› Rainfall patterns undergo shifts, some show decreasing trends in the last decade
› Agricultural strategies and local livelihood to be critically viewed in view of changing rainfall pattern
› More data needed on impacts of extreme weather events
› Need to integrate the real-time weather/crop data for better planning in delivery systems: Village Knowledge Centers (next slide)
› Prioritize best practices/technologiesenhancing adaptive capacities
