Strøtanker om bæredygtighed

Dette er et aldrig færdiggjort blog-indlæg, som havde til hensigt at belyse climate-smart agriculture. Når jeg ikke fik det lavet færdigt dengang, var det fordi jeg blev optaget af spørgsmålet, om – og i givet fald hvordan – en sådan tilgang ville kunne bruges i bymæssig sammenhæng. Efterfølgende fulgte jeg således længe et meget vitalt diskussionsforum om climate-smart agriculture. Men anvendelsen synes foreløbig at være fokuseret på landlige situationer og landsbysamfund i udviklingslande, hvor det ikke mindst i Østafrika synes at have fået en vis udbredelse. Så indlægget blev aldrig skrevet. Og nu har jeg sat det som publiceret, uanset at det er en meget foreløbig skitse, da der kunne ligge en værdi i selve link-delen.

Under denne COP19 har der tilbagevendende været refereret til forholdet mellem adaptation og mitigation – to ord som er svære at oversætte direkte, men hvor adaptation handler om gennem klimatilpasning at beskytte sig mod følgevirkningerne af klimaforandringerne og nogenunde præcist kan oversættes med klimatilpasning, så er mitigation en indsats for at mindske den globale opvarmning gennem at mindske årsagerne dertil kun ufuldstændigt beskrevet med det danske ord klimaindsats. Der synes i FN-regi at ligge en stærk bestræbelse på i et holistisk perspektiv at samle disse to størrelser og sammenkøre det i en bæredygtig udviklingsstrategi.

Konference torsdag 14.11.:
Linking adaptation and mitigation to address multiple risks: New research findings and field examples.
Ecosystem-based & community interventions can contribute to addressing adaptation & mitigation jointly. CIFOR, IFRC and partners will present new research findings & field examples on how synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation are addressed in projects, policies and funding.

Konference fredag 15.11.:
Getting REDD+ off the ground: Challenges and opportunities.
The objective of this event is to provide a platform for discussion on implementation challenges experienced by REDD+ sub-national initiatives, and what can be done to overcome these. CIFOR will present key findings of a survey undertaken this year asking representatives of 23 REDD+ proponent organizations about the challenges they have encountered.

Konference fredag 15.11.:
Opportunities for REDD+ in degraded forests and complex landscapes.
Implementation of REDD+ assumes that we know more or less exactly the carbon emissions we will save by avoiding deforestation and forest degradation. But how accurate is this knowledge across forested tropical landscapes? We will present the latest advances in measuring and accounting for carbon stock changes in forested landscapes in the tropics and focus specifically on the importance of degraded forests and mosaic landscapes that account for an increasing share of tropical land use.

Konference fredag 15.11.:
Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs): experiences and lessons learned.
NAPs are advancing in many countries with sector-specific strategies. This side event follows on from a workshop where 10 countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America share their experiences in developing plans for the agriculture and livestock sector, and aims to synthesize lessons.

Konference lørdag-søndag 16.-17.11.:
The Global Landscapes Forum.
The pre-eminent global platform for sharing landscapes development strategies that are climate smart, equitable, productive and profitable, recognising the central role and identity of farmers and forest-dependent people.

Breakfast Briefing lørdag 16.11.:
Addressing the barriers to reducing deforestation from forest risk commodity supply chains.
Many solutions that can address the deforestation and degradation arising from the production and trade of forest risk commodities have been implemented, but systemic global changes that could ensure the long-term preservation of tropical forests, and that are therefore vital for the delivery of REDD+, have not yet occurred. Discussions will look at how the barriers to achieving a transformational shift can be overcome and include areas such as transparency and traceability of global supply chains, investing in the transition to sustainable production and trade, as well as incentivising innovative public private sector collaborations.
GCP are launching “The Little Book of Big Deforestation Drivers” at COP19.

Konference mandag 18.11.:
The Global Adaptation Network: Experiences on knowledge-sharing from Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
The side event will share lessons learnt from adaptation knowledge-sharing and capacity building undertaken by Regional Networks. Opportunities and limitations of various modalities for knowledge mobilization will be discussed, together with the challenges of tracking progress in access to knowledge.

Konference onsdag 20.11.:
Enhancing Climate Smart Innovations in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Sharing key successes and partnerships for Climate Change Adaptation in Eastern and Southern Africa.

Konference onsdag 20.11.:
Five years of the UN-REDD Programme: What can we learn for scaling up REDD+?
The event will discuss REDD+’s concrete achievements in the last five years, and how it can further support and leverage scaled-up action for addressing climate change.
