Wrap Up – Webinar I
• Introduction of team members and overview of the general topics of the Summer School (short videos)
• Concepts and different definitions (Risk, adaptation, coping, etc.)
• Discussion with the participants in the chat and the Alumniportal 1. Are landslides, earthquakes and such really sidelined by the climate change debate?
2. Coping is a subcomponent of adaptation (?!) 3. Creeping processes are sidelined by the focus on extreme
events!

Statements
“Approximately 250.000.000 inhabitants will be affected by climate change
due to high population density and rapid industrialization. “ (Arinafril Arinafril,
Indonesia)
“Are climate change effects more effective in rural areas than in urban
areas?” (Binali Tercan, Turkey)

How do conflicts and „natural“ extreme events interplay?

Ongoing conflicts around the world October 2012
Major wars, 1,000+ deaths per year Minor skirmishes and conflicts, fewer than 1000 deaths per year

Statements
“How can we build up social resilience and climate change communication?” (Yang Deng, China)“It has been proved, especially in Latin America, that the only projects with a true chance for success are those with a feedback from society.” (Agustin Miranda, Argentina)
How can communication, learning and feedback from the society be applied effectively in building resilience?

Environmental degradation and disasters
• “Environmental degradation is a significant factor that reduces the adaptive capacity of societies to deal with disaster risk in many countries” (...) “Not all storms and other natural hazards need to turn into disasters“ (World Risk Report 2012)

Example from Kenya: Destruction of dry forests for charcoal production
- Higher drought risk- Biodiversity loss- Reduced carbon
storage- No incomes from
tourism
