#RARIFY MEANING HOW TO#
The webinar session aimed to identify action points for African governments and regional organizations on how to (i) shift towards risk-based decision making when planning for climate-targeted responses, development and peacebuilding, and (ii) translate risk-informed planning into implementation.
Integrating Climate-Related Security and Development Risks into National Planning and Programming in Africa, and the Role of International Support With these challenges in mind, national governments, with the support of the international community, need to (i) demystify the multidimensional and transnational nature of climate-related security and development risks (ii) take an approach to climate threats, development and peacebuilding that considers the systematic interplay between these risks, or in other words, is risk-informed and (iii) assess the means of implementation, including finance, needed to address these challenges.Īgainst this background, and acting in its capacity as the Secretariat of the Aswan Forum for Sustainable Peace and Development, the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping and Peacebuilding (CCCPA)-in partnership with adelphi, and as part of the Berlin Climate and Security Conference 2020 (Part II)-hosted a webinar, titled: Likewise, there is still a need to bridge the pre-2020 climate finance gap. On the other hand, many of the climate commitments, including adaptation aren’t factored into national budgetary processes. As a result, climate change issues continue to be dealt with by traditional actors using a ‘siloed’ approach, with limited vertical and horizontal engagement. On one hand, there is a lack in the broader understanding across government entities and regional organizations of the relationship and interdependencies between climate change risks, socioeconomic factors and peace and security issues.
Fifty of them have ratified its Paris Agreement, with finance and adaptation measures being the African priority.ĭespite the multiplicity of policy frameworks, challenges to effective operationalization persist, and the scale of action falls dramatically short of the increasing need. Cairo, Egypt - All African countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
