16h00 Projected changes to tuna stocks – Sri Nandini

16h20 Breakout groups to discuss effects on tuna stocks

17h00

Summary Day 1

The programme – how we will work

• Friday sessions

COFFEE & TEA: 10h20 – 10h50

Session 8: National Action Plans and disaster risk management

National climate change strategies and action plans

Integrating climate change adaptation (CCA) and DRM – Kirstie Meheux

Breakout groups to discuss CCA and DRM

The programme – how we will work

• Friday sessions

LUNCH: 12h10 – 13h10

13h10Working groups to identify priority adaptations, including how these fit into/are supported by existing national climate change strategies/plans

COFFEE & TEA: 15h10 – 15h30

Session 9: Working with communities

15h30 Communicating climate change concepts to communities – Etuati Ropeti

15h50 Localising vulnerability assessments – Johanna Johnson

16h10 Breakout groups to discuss communication and local vulnerability assessments

What you will be asked to think about

• Reasons to combine adaptations to climate change with those for disaster risk management (DRM)

• How best to integrate adaptations and policies into national plans and strategies

• How to assist communities to understand the affects of climate change and evaluate their own vulnerability
