The climate is threatened by a number of aspects...one of these critical aspects is war...communities would never be able to focus on climate change resilience when they are under siege from politicians who are focused on maintaining power at all costs, including use of missiles.

Building capacity for Climate Change resilience is key to responding to climate change induced development changes. Women are the most affected by Climate Change induced negative development. Thus, imparting skills such as Budding and Grafting which promotes propagation of forest and Agro-forest resources becomes more relevant and critical in increasing carbon sinks, creating alternative food sources for nutrition security and supporting food security initiatives.

Every year, a lot of food goes to waste because of lack of innovations that preserve and add value to excess food produced at peak. Communities can build these solar driers in order to make food and nutrients available even when such fruits and vegetables out of season. That is, when excess mangoes, guavas, peaches and seasonal vegetables such as black jack and amaranth are in in excess, instead of losing these fruits and vegetables to rot and inferior price regimes by the middlemen, communities can always value add any excess which they cannot sell or consume immediately through solar drying.

Building capacity of teachers through training, provision of resources and promotion of innovations is a critical tool for responding to Climate Change related development challenges. There is need for developing home grown solutions that use locally available resources which are inspired by local Indigenous Knowledge Systems. That way, climate change mitigation and adaptation ceases to be a foreign agenda, and becomes a community livelihood enhancement tool that is locally embraced. [ 98 more words ]

i have come to think that the definition of "climate change" must be changed to mean development change...we should be putting more money to development rather than focusing on changing climate variables which apparently i believe the world of science cannot do anything about....what we can change is our level of development and the climate can never be altered by convincing poor rural communities to stop using firewood, use cleaner technologies which they cannot afford...

The world got it all wrong perhaps when dealing with climate change...mitigation and adaptation and more reactive in nature. What we need as a developing economy is a proactive approach that revolves around innovations that are hinged on indigenous knowledge and prior scientific data...our emphasis in schools and higher learning institutions should be on innovations, research and development.....
