Adaptation to the climate change “Learning for sustainability (L 4 S)”
Goal The main goal of an L 4 S workshop is to support a self-learning process based on individual experience and leading to an increase of competence and knowledge
Why an L 4 S workshop? • • • It creates an atmosphere for open discussion at local level It generates (new) ideas for village development planning It helps in identifying and evaluating village resources, potentials and opportunities It represents the ‘first step’ for creating village partnerships and active initiative groups It helps in changing the frequent passive role of communities acting as ‘recipients of social aid’ who let powerful people take decisions.
Selection criteria for local participants • • • active and motivated villager reliable partner (based on previous experiences) representation of various village institutions (e. g. NGO’s, local self-governance bodies, village committees) competent in the topical field of the L 4 S and eventually interested in later implementation activities good mix/balance of age and gender
L 4 S learning concept Learning materials (theory, information, exercises) The program of an L 4 S workshop: • • introduction to the topic, an analysis of the current situation, a definition of reasons of perceived problems, and possible joint solutions. Learning process Conditions, topic (concrete situations) Learning group and individuals (communication) During an L 4 S training, the moderators gradually involve the participants in interactive discussions using different methodologies and tools such as brainstorming, working with cards, group work, role play, simulation game etc. This partially requires specific training materials purposely developed for the CAMP L 4 S modules

Climate change adaptation Purpose: Awareness of local population on climate change processes, their influence on natural resources and climate change risks. Adaptation capabilities. Place: Villages of Kyrgyzstan Time length: 3 days Task group: water users, WUA members, leaders of the rural organizations, local administration, TPS specialists…),

Simulation game
Impact of the climate change on the resources Resource Forest Water Is it renewable or not? Renewable What is a Conditions renewable for cycle? renewability 10 -15 Water, heat, years soil, seeds, forest conservation 1 year Circulation (water circulation in nature) Resource Climate conditions CC tendencies Pasture vegetation Summer temperature 20 -25 С Winter +1020 Precipitations 800 mm/year Resource Type of use Pasture vegetation Pastures, livestock grazing Increase of temperature Increase of intensity of precipitations and their main share in winter months. Use assessment from the view of sustainability Too many livestock The terms are not observed Lack of rotation…. What will happen with resource in case of the CC? Pasture degradation What will happen with the resource? Pasture degradation
The climate change risk assessment The degree at which the system is vulnerable to CC or can not resist, the adverse effect of CC, including climate variability and extreme events Vulnerability = ƒ (Susceptibility, Perceptibility, Adaptive Capacity)
Adaptation measures • • The watershed volume – 27 000 м 3. Irrigated area is 405 ha (“Druzhba” farm, 30 families). Arrangement of the gate valve and water gate in the supply channel. Supply with irrigation water in May and June Expected profit makes 600 000 KGS per year (given increase of the cereals yield for 5 centner/ha, 1 kg – 8 KGS)
Adaptation measures • • • Water loss till 35% due to the weak throughput capacity of the irrigation network. Increase of the irrigation water supply of the 1, 5 thousand ha of plough land of 510 farms. Support of the “Chistye prudy” WUA (Clean ponds) on capital cleaning of 1500 m of the irrigation channels
Voices of participants from L 4 S workshops People see, that they should participate in decisionmaking and solve problems with own strength Hidden potential and village opportunities are revealed during L 4 S workshops As a teacher I consider that L 4 S workshop could be used in the school with a big benefit External participants help villagers in defining problems and issues L 4 S workshops are very good for transformation of complicated things into simple and accessible ones It could be useful to participate at Lfor. S workshops for the state officials, dealing with natural resource management The workshops help in achieving clear ideas and principles At L 4 S workshops we have opportunities to discuss village problems jointly and find ways for their solving at local level Presentation of the workshop outcomes to the villagers Locally held L 4 S workshops give opportunities for villagers to feel themselves confidently, relaxedly, comfortable
