Transcript Climate Change - RCE

Climate Change
Broad categories of RCE practices
• Skills/competencies development
• Situated learning leading to innovations for
low-carbon society
• Local/regional policy development
Key Areas of Application
1. RCEs as innovators in the practices for new lowcarbon economies
2. Role of traditional knowledge
3. Importance of sharing RCE learning practices
4. Development of competencies and capabilities
5. Up-scaling of knowledge-innovation practices
6. Assessment of the learning results of the RCE
projects
7. Green Economy
8. Global-Local links
Major Challenge
• A major challenge for RCEs is to determine the
best course of action for attaining sustainable
development and adapting to climate change,
so it is essential that we share resources,
research, and best practices within the global
RCE network to be able to support our
communities
Expected Outcome of the Discussion
 Come up with a plan for a proposed global initiative that
involves the global RCE network
 Global initiative: We need to take a global approach
through campaigning. Create one initiative to get the policy
makers’ attentions (public awareness).
 Asian-pacific: Work with education ministers and keep in
touch with them. Put pressure on the government for ESD,
see how other countries are doing.  DESD in Asean has
already been planned.
 Mitigation versus Adaptation: In the case of RCE Bohol, we
are looking for other sources of food incase of crisis (for
alternative sources of food) More RCEs are doing more
adaptation.
 Should not think about the same paradigm
For Discussion
1. Organizing communication and collaboration among RCEs
with similar climate change challenges
2. Strategies for inter-RCE sharing of climate change related
educational materials, strategies, initiatives, etc.
3. How to integrate community and NGO efforts to address
climate change with government policy responses
4. Japan –Interested in Natural conservation. Opportunity to
share. Use portal efficiently. Residents should take more
positive actions.
5. Kenya: How can we start reaching the community
(resource centers)
Output at end of Session
1) Half a page summary of session
2) One slide with 2-3 points on actionable items
after the conference
• Establish a framework. “SHARING” – our
knowledge. This is our strategy
• there should be sharing, but also influencing.
• Global
• Continental RCEs
• Country (eg. 9 RCEs in India)
• Learning  sharing (internalize our knowledge)
thus, influence advocacy  influencing policy
• Strengthen our network
Vision, Strategy, Methodology
• Vision: Global learning space
• RCEs can come together(Strategy) :
Learning  sharing (internalize our
knowledge, Strengthen our network) thus,
influence advocacy  influencing policy
Tool:portal
• Methodologies: What do we share? Cases ,
good practices (adaptation, medication
strategies), information on materials
• Actionable points:
