DAY II |
|
On day two participants will focus on specific actions being taken in different places, sectors and systems. Participants will come away with a better understanding of limitations and potential of different approaches as well as insights that may cut across problem domains. |
08:45~09:00
|
Reflections on main messages and highlights of day 1 |
09:00~10:10 |
PLENARY 3 - Adaptation actions in sectors and systems |
Ballroom A,B |
The third plenary recognizes that some adaptation actions have been tailored to specific sectors and systems. The discussion will examine what different stakeholders in particular sectors and system are doing to adapting to a changing climate and whether or not their lessons to be learnt or actions to be coordinated across sectors and systems. Moderated by Eric Kemp-Benedict, Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) |

PARALLEL PANELS 2 : Adaption in systems and places |
10:40~12:40 |
Panel 3.1 Coasts and islands |
Room 104-106 |
What actions have governments and communities on small islands taken to adapt? How are these similar and different from issues which face people living on low-lying or exposed coasts? How do ecosystems contribute to adaptation? Moderated by Marita Manley, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
|
10:40~12:40 |
Panel 3.2 Mountains and uplands |
Room 107-109 |

How do well managed watersheds contribute to resilience? Moderated by Dhrupad Choudhury, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)
|
10:40~12:40 |
Panel 3.3 Cities and towns |
Room 113-114 |
What actions are cities and towns taking to make themselves climate resilient? What specific strategies and tactics are they adopting towards climate proofing decisions? Moderated by Saleemul Huq, International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD)
* Online social media panel: After the session, panelists will respond online to questions about practical experiences of building urban climate resilience in Asia. For more information please click here |
10:40~12:40 |
Panel 3.4 Forests and biodiversity |
Room 116-117 |
What are the unique contributions to be made by forests to adaptation? What experience is there of incorporating forests in local adaptation initiatives in the Asia-Pacific? To what degree and in what ways is forest biodiversity supporting adaptive capacity? What are some of the ways adaptation planning has been incorporated within the forest sector, and conversely forestry within adaptation strategies such as NAPAs?? What are the key services provided by biodiverse ecosystems important to building resilience to climate change?
Moderated by Doris Capistrano, ASEAN-Swiss Partnership on Social Forestry and Climate Change (ASFCC)

10:40~12:40 |
Panel 3.5 Infrastructure and adaptation to climate change
|
Room 115 |
What role does built and natural infrastructure have in adaptation to climate change? What are the characteristics of climate resilient infrastructure? When is climate-proofing a plausible adaptation option and when is it not? Moderated by Priyanka Dissanayake, Global Water Partnership South Asia

|
13:40~15:40 | Panel 4.5 Ecosystem-based adaptation |
Room 115 | How can effective protection and management of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems assist adaptation efforts? What are the key services provided by ecosystems important to building resilience to climate change? What are the limits to ecosystem-based adaptation?
