Bridging Research and Practice for Climate Adaptation in Asia

เกี่ยวกับกิจกรรมนี้

How can climate adaptation research better inform policy and practice across Asia? Join this interactive roundtable discussion bringing together researchers from the Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) programme and practitioners working at the interface of policy, implementation, financing, partnerships, and gender equality. The session will showcase lessons from CLARE-supported research across diverse contexts. CLARE researchers will reflect on how the co-production of research with communities and local governments can contribute to policy influence and more effective climate action. Practitioner speakers will provide perspectives on how research evidence can be translated into implementation through stronger partnerships, financing mechanisms, and gender-responsive approaches. The discussion will also explore how development and adaptation practitioners can make greater use of CLARE research findings in their programmes and decision-making processes. ________________________________________________ Moderated by: Arjan de Haan, Senior Program Specialist, IDRC Asia Regional Office _________________________________________________ Fireside presentations from CLARE researchers • Syamkrishnan Aryan, Senior Program Manager, WELL Labs (CLARITY Project): Community-based water management in the tropical drylands of India • Dennis Calvan, Policy Director, Rare Philippines (ClimateREEFS Project): Socially equitable adaptation strategies for reef-dependent coastal communities in the Philippines and Indonesia • Fa Likitswat, Assistant Professor, Thammasat University (NbCLARE Project/CLARE-ASEAN): Nature-based solutions for urban climate adaptation across ASEAN cities  • Sabarnee Tuladhar, Statistical Analyst, ICIMOD (SUCCESS Project): Migration as an adaptation strategy in South Asia • Graces Ching, Project Coordinator, Singapore Management University (Inclusive SR Cities Project): Addressing equity and representation gaps within global climate assessments • Uma Pal, Manager, Climate Policy Initiative (Finance/CLARE-ASEAN):  Financing adaptation and resilience to climate change in ASEAN cities ________________________________________________ Roundtable discussion between CLARE researchers and the following speakers • Cristina Gregorio, Regional Climate Finance Specialist, UNDP Bangkok Regional Hub • Avipsha Rayamajhi, Research and Capacity Building Consultant, UN Women Regional Office for Asia-Pacific • Vishwaranjan Sinha, Senior Programme Officer, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Asia Regional Office • Prerna Singh, Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA) • Shivani Gupta, Program Manager – Climate Change Adaptation, Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) _________________________________________________ Agenda 10:00 – 10:10 Opening 10:10 – 10:35 Fireside presentations from six CLARE researchers 10:35 – 10:45 Short break 10:45 – 11:45 Roundtable discussion, covering several themes (finance, gender, partnerships, water security, nature-based solutions and climate mobility) 11:45 – 11:55 Q&A 11:55 – 12:00 Closing
