CERTIFICATION TRAINING
ON
“EMERGING
REALITIES IN PEACE, SECURITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE”
OVERVIEW
Climate change is one of the most
pervasive global threats to peace and security in the 21st century. But how
many people would list this as a key factor in international relations and
domestic welfare? In reality, climate change touches all areas of security,
peace building, and development. The impacts of climate change are already
adversely affecting vulnerable communities, as well as stretching the
capacities of societies and governments.
Climate change is best understood
as a ‘threat multiplier’, i.e. something that interacts with existing pressures
(such as social conflict, economic inequality, large-scale migration, or
competition for resources) and further compounds these issues—increasing the
likelihood of instability or violent conflict.
Environmental degradation coupled with
political, economic and social insecurity have become major drivers of migration
and refugee movements. It is estimated that an annual average of 21.5 million
people have been displaced by weather-related natural disasters since 2008, and
thousands more have fled their homes due to droughts or land degradation and
coastal erosion.
Climate change action - that is
mitigation of climate change and global warming - is directly tied to the
maintenance of peace. In the absence of substantial mitigating action, climate
change is expected to lead increasingly to severe food and water shortages in
many areas, in addition to coastal flooding, eventually leading to mass
migrations and increased conflicts worldwide. That is, unchecked global warming
will increasingly lead to the breakdown of peace, and threats to national and
international security.
More than just a training
seminar, this programme contains resources for creating awareness about the
security implications of climate change. The core element in the CCPPA training
system puts the skills of climate change mitigation in the hands of every
participants/employee to build better resilience from the effects of hazards in
a timely and efficient manner.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Following the
seminar, the participants would:
·
Learn how to use principled climate change mitigation techniques.
·
Learn how to assess capacity to improve risk reduction measures.
·
Develop practical skills and techniques to respond to actual or
expected effects of climate change.
·
Acquire adaptive capacities to prevent or mitigate the effects of
a given disaster.
PERFORMANCE GOALS
As a result of
the employee/participants’ achievement of the above learning objectives
·
The financial cost of unexpected hazards will decline by 50%.
·
Unexpected climate change effects that do occur will be
satisfactorily handled with adaptive capabilities and resilience.
