DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the expert workshop is to give guidance on a p ractical guide and analytical tool to help national policy decision-make rs systematically examine climate change issues in relation to forests a nd trees outside forests and their benefits and to identify and prioriti ze areas where changes will have to be made to be better able to respond effectively to climate change. The guide will propose ways to make thes e changes in the context of a policy process involving all relevant sect ors. The principal intended audiences of the practical guide are mid and high level officials of national governments in ministries responsible for policies\, governance processes\, and legal and institutional aspect s of relevance to forests and climate change as well as representatives of other key stakeholder groups. \n\nThe expert workshop will review the current draft of the practical guide\, considering the overall structur e and contents and its individual chapters. We are seeking expert input to improve its relevance and practicability.

This was recently emphasized by the fourteenth (14th) Session of the African Ministerial Conference on\nEnvironment (AM CEN) held in September 2012\, Arusha\, Tanzania which decided to conside r the GGWSSI\, in the framework of the\nEnvironmental Action Plan of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD)\, as a flagship progra mme that represents the African\ncontribution to the achievement of a La nd degradation neutral world in the context of sustainable development\, as recommended by the\nUnited Nations Conference on Sustainable Develop ment.\nSince early 2011 an African Union Commission programme in support to the implementation of the GGWSSI\, is being implemented by FAO in\nc ollaboration with 13 partner countries. The programme is funded by the E uropean Union within the framework of the theme 6 “Climate\nChange and E nvironment” of the AU-EU strategic partnership and benefits from technic al and financial support of FAO and the GM-UNCCD.\nFurthermore\, the GEF and the World Bank are also supporting the implementation of the initia tive in 12 countries through the Sahel and\nWest Africa Program (SAWAP). The 18th session of COP/UNFCCC offers an opportunity to inform the inte rnational community and African countries on the results so far achieved by the initiative and to discuss the way forward to build a solid and w ider partnership/coalition to support Africa for the\nimplementation of the GGWSSI. In addition to the status of the implementation of the Initi ative\, the potential of the GGWSSI for carbon\nsequestration as well as for adaptation and resilience to climate change will be presented and d iscussed.\n\n\nForis: http://foris.fao.org/meetings/meeting/viewMeeting. jsf?meetingId=2897 LOCATION:European Union Pavilion\, Hall 3\, Doha\, Qatar ORGANIZER:MAILTO:nora.berrahmouni@fao.org CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130521T223004Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130212 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130215 UID:meetings.2853@foris.fao.org SUMMARY:The Second International Conference on Water Resources and Enviro nmental Management: Water\, Food\, Energy Security and Climate Change DESCRIPTION:Meeting web site: http://www.icwre.com/\nForis: http://foris. fao.org/meetings/meeting/viewMeeting.jsf?meetingId=2853 LOCATION:Marrakesh\, Morocco URL:http://www.icwre.com/ CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130521T223004Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130218 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130219 UID:meetings.2934@foris.fao.org SUMMARY:Science Seminar: Who has a right to climate change adaptation? So cial differentiation in promoting climate resilience DESCRIPTION:Seminar Description:\nClimate change brings unprecedented cha llenges for livelihoods in developing countries. Development and humanit arian assistance\, research for development and our whole conception of equity and risk need to factor in climate change.\n\nOn 18 February\, th e CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change\, Agriculture and Food Securi ty (CCAFS) is organising a seminar which will explore the social dimensi ons of climate change: how development programming needs to embrace resi lience\, the transformative cornerstones of social science research for climate change\, and gender and social differentiation in building agric ultural climate resilience.\n\nThe seminar\, which will be held in Copen hagen and streamed live through the CCAFS website\, will include three s hort presentations that will be followed by a panel discussion from lead ing development experts\, and then an open discussion during which both the live and virtual audience will have the opportunity to ask questions . CCAFS\, DIIS\, and the University of Copenhagen would like to welcome all members of the development and humanitarian\, agricultural\, climate change and environmental science communities\, as well as students and other interested persons to attend the seminar in Copenhagen either in p erson\, or through the CCAFS live streaming webpage.\n\nMeeting web site : http://ccafs.cgiar.org/events/18/feb/2013/who-has-right-climate-change -adaptation-social-differentiation-promoting-climate\nForis: http://fori s.fao.org/meetings/meeting/viewMeeting.jsf?meetingId=2934 LOCATION:Copenhagen\,Eigtved’s Pakhus\, Asiatisk Plads 2\, Denmark URL:http://ccafs.cgiar.org/events/18/feb/2013/who-has-right-climate-chang e-adaptation-social-differentiation-promoting-climate CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130521T223004Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130218 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130223 UID:meetings.2856@foris.fao.org SUMMARY:The 27th session of the Governing Council/Global Ministerial Envi ronment Forum (GC 27/GMEF) of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) DESCRIPTION:Meeting web site: http://www.unep.org/gc/gc26/\nForis: http:/ /foris.fao.org/meetings/meeting/viewMeeting.jsf?meetingId=2856 LOCATION:Nairobi\, Kenya URL:http://www.unep.org/gc/gc26/ ORGANIZER:MAILTO:sgc.sgb@unep.org CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130521T223004Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130305 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130307 UID:meetings.2859@foris.fao.org SUMMARY:World Forests Summit DESCRIPTION:Meeting web site: http://cemea.economistconferences.com/event /world-forests-summit\nForis: http://foris.fao.org/meetings/meeting/view Meeting.jsf?meetingId=2859 LOCATION:Stockholm\, Sweden URL:http://cemea.economistconferences.com/event/world-forests-summit ORGANIZER:MAILTO:europemarketing@economist.com CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130521T223004Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130311 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130316 UID:meetings.2927@foris.fao.org SUMMARY:High-Level Meeting on National Drought Policy (HMNDP) DESCRIPTION:In the framework of IDMP activities\, the HMNDP will provide practical insight into useful\, science-based actions to address the key drought issues being considered by governments and the private sector u nder the UNCCD and the various strategies to cope with drought. National governments must adopt policies that engender cooperation and coordinat ion at all levels of government in order to increase their capacity to c ope with extended periods of water scarcity in the event of a drought.

The conferen ce is being organised in partnership with the World Food Programme and t he CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change\, Agriculture and Food Secur ity (CCAFS). This will not be an intergovernmental meeting. It will br ing together key policy makers and global thought leaders with local peo ple and practitioners facing the realities of rising food prices\, faile d crops\, undernutrition and voicelessness. The objective will be to fa cilitate a respectful dialogue and learn from practical experience and r obust evidence to inform a new approach to addressing hunger\, nutrition and climate justice\, in the context of the new international developme nt agenda.\n\n The aim will not simply be to adopt an outcome document. We hope to inspire new ways of thinking about global development challe nges and to invigorate and broaden the debate\, at all levels\, listenin g to and learning from the experiences of local people\, and rooting fut ure thematic policy approaches in their lives and their efforts to cope. The Conference will take place in Dublin Castle. To facilitate a focu sed dialogue\, participation will be by invitation\, but there will be o pportunities for others to participate online. \n\nMeeting web site: ht tp://www.eu2013.ie/events/event-items/hungernutritionclimatejustice20120 415/\nForis: http://foris.fao.org/meetings/meeting/viewMeeting.jsf?meeti ngId=2943 LOCATION:Dublin\, Dublin Castle\, Ireland URL:http://www.eu2013.ie/events/event-items/hungernutritionclimatejustice 20120415/ CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130521T223004Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130415 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130420 UID:meetings.2964@foris.fao.org SUMMARY:Regular Session of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food a nd Agriculture (14th Session) DESCRIPTION:Agenda item: Review of the Roadmap or work programme on clima te change and genetic resources for food and agriculture\n\n\nForis: htt p://foris.fao.org/meetings/meeting/viewMeeting.jsf?meetingId=2964 LOCATION:Rome\, FAO\, \, Italy CREATED:20130522T003004Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130522T003004Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
