Tropical Cyclones/Hurricanes and Climate Change Forum

At
the forum -
Hurricane Science for Safety Leadership Forum:
Safe Homes For All -
we’ve aligned some strange bedfellows to come
together to discuss these land use, environmental
and social challenges. Panelists include
environmentalists, government officials, free
market thinkers, and insurance
representatives. We anticipate lively, yet
constructive discussions focused on solutions based
strategies to natural disaster risk mitigation and
how best to balance the needs of communities with
the protection of sensitive ecosystems (and
hopefully some great angles for your blog posts).
The topics are quite timely as we’ve just entered
the Atlantic hurricane season and many important
environmental and social challenges need to be
addressed by the nation.

Urban, Asian Adaptation Network
AdaptNet is RMIT
University Global Cities Institute's Climate Change
Adaptation Working Group network focused on urban
climate change adaptation. This decentralized
network creates a set of common knowledge and
reference points for participants in the network;
it offers a stock of such knowledge, and either
offers tools or direct users to tools to
undertake urban climate change adaptive policy research and analysis. AdaptNet highlights best practice and demonstration projects. It focuses on cities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, but nested within the global network of cities.

SEI adaptation course
07/06/09 09:04 Filed in: Course
The Climate Systems
Analysis Group at the University of Cape Town and
the Stockholm Environment
Institute, partners in weADAPT and the Global Climate
Adaptation Partnership, are offering a 2-week
“winter school” in the use of climate
information for developing adaptation
strategies, plans and policies. The winter
school will take place from 13 to 26 July 2009,
and is designed to provide a balance between
seminar style teaching and hands-on training,
supported by leading climate scientists and
adaptation experts, using the weADAPT platform
for developing the curriculum. We aim to provide
an overview of the latest relevant climate
science as well as working through sector
specific case studies and experiences of the
application of this knowledge in acting to
reduce risks. The winter school is supported
financially by UNITAR and SENSA.
