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
Working groups to identify priority adaptations, including
13h10 how these fit into/are supported by existing national climate
change strategies/plans
COFFEE & TEA: 15h10 – 15h30
Session 9: Working with communities
15h30
15h50
16h10
Communicating climate change concepts to
communities – Etuati Ropeti
Localising vulnerability assessments – Johanna
Johnson
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
