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.
