2c. Community resilience and climate
The Climate Centre collaborates with many partners on the agenda centred on resilience.
We seek to increase the resilience of families and communities by combining approaches related to ecosystems, climate change and climate variability, and disaster risk reduction.
This enables people to better withstand shocks from natural and man-made hazards, and sustain development through settled livelihoods.
The module explains some of the reasons why it is important to address the root causes of risk through ecosystem management and restoration and adaptation, combined with community-based disaster risk reduction.
It offers interactive group exercises such as Circles and a real-life example of a climate-smart community plan for action on resilience.
Content
- What is in this module?
- Powerpoint presentations with notes
- Games
-
2c Ready!
This game can be used to explore localised and inclusive contingency planning
when faced with changing risks. -
2c Dissolving Disasters
This game aims to support learning and dialogue on the concept of
'resilience'. Players become subsistence farmers and face changing risks. -
2c Gender and Climate game
An activity to support learning and dialogue on the differential vulnerability of women
and men at the community level, facing climate variability and change. -
2c Act to Adapt
A big board game in which the 'community team' has to prioritise community
resources and take actions to protect them from the 'hazard team'.
-
- Exercises
-
2c ExerciseA secondary information
Exercise to practice identifying and accessing secondary sources of information
before conducting community assessments (e.g. EVCA).
-
2c ExerciseB Landscape elements in IRM
Introductory exercise to understand how landscapes and ecosystems affects
hazards and, therefore also part of the solution when addressing risks in an integrated approach.
-
2c ExerciseC Circles DRR-CCA-EMR (or CCM)
On completing this exercise, participants will have a better understanding of
the similarities and differences between CCA, DRR and EMR (can also swap EMR for CCM).
