Learning from the Scientists
After a 3 day long field trip, where and when I observed the impacts of climate change and community adaptation responses, I am regularly following up the plenaries and parallel sessions of the 5th International Conference on Community Based Adaptation in Hotel Sheraton, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Presentations have been done and discussions are going on different thematic areas starting from the general, but more important, concepts of climate terminologies in relation to adaptation to scaling up approaches and methodologies in costing, planning, governance, and etc.
Following the parallel session is really challenging to capture the topic of interest and specific presentation of the interest. In addition, discussion at the end of the session is still not being able to consider the raised hands of the scientists due to the large mass and curiosity to understand, learn and unlearn.
With such opportunities and limitations, I am trying to distill the learning and findings from the different parts of the world. Let us hope and ensure, it will add a new dimension to my work after I return my home.
