Abstract:

Evidence based propositions are developed using a thematic analysis of the data set. Adaptation related projects are those that help reduce the vulnerability of human and natural systems to the current and future impacts of climate change and climate-related risks, increasing or maintaining adaptive capacity and resilience in the targeted regions and countries through use of IMS and IDC data. A large number of observation associated with project implementation experience are reviewed to identify good practices that have significant implications for practice, for which there is robust evidence which might be expected to be worth considering in other circumstances and initiatives. The resulting proposition are statements of good practices with some aspects of strategies to educate the policy makers and general population on availability and applicability of IMS and IDC data sustainably through non-formal learning spaces, theoretical perspectives of disaster mitigation for sustainable development that if adopted are expected to improve biodiversity conservation efforts, bend the curve of conflict and food security outcomes. The propositions are intended to inform design decisions, improve implementation but also structure debate and learning on effective practice .Each proposition is supported by explanations that expands proposition, summary of public evidence, example of projects that ground the proposition in context and practice, design implications of proposition for new interventions, hypothesis consequences for environmental education, summary of assumption underpinning the proposition and a summary of counter views and counter evidence to the proposition. They are grouped into: values and principles, theoretical perspectives, strategies for integration in non formal learning and partnerships and networks.
