17 October – 15 November 2016
Climate change (CC) is a topic high on the development agenda. Major
efforts are ongoing at different levels to develop strategies and actions
to mitigate and adapt to climate change. An increasing number of projects
in developing countries is working on climate change adaptation and
mitigation. Farmer Field Schools, (Agro) Pastoral Field Schools, Climate
Field Schools are included in some of these projects. They work with rural
communities in developing strategies that help to better adapt to climate
change and to increase resilience for those who have to deal with changing
weather patterns, and risks and opportunities associated with these and
other stresses. Field School programmes are evolving to integrate broader
livelihood and system approaches into curricula and follow-up activities.
World Food Day’s theme for 2016 is: “Climate is changing, food and
agriculture must too”. On this occasion, the Global FFS network will
organize an online *exchange on how Field Schools networks in different
places deal with developing and implementing programmes around climate
change*.
This exchange will contribute to:
- An update of different initiatives and actors around Field Schools and
Climate Change in different regions, and strengthening linkages between
those initiatives;
- Facilitating a common understanding and approach of Field Schools and
Climate Change adaptation/mitigation;
- Documenting successes and challenges so far, lessons learned and the
way forward;
- Suggest innovations and recommendations for on-going programmes and
policies, including specific recommendations, tools, activities for ongoing
projects on Field Schools and CC.
The e-forum will consist of:
*Three webinars (each of them to be held from 10.30 – 11.30 hrs, Rome time)*
- *October 17*: Kick-off webinar: Why discuss FFS and climate change? A
multi-scale perspective
- *November 3;* Examples from the field on Field Schools and CC.
- *November 10*; Lessons learned, challenges and way forward.
