I hope you will continue letting us know on how are rural communities and indigenous peoples using agrobiodiversity as an asset for facing climate change.

We (as I take it for given we all want this) would like to make sure the information we are compiling is packaged in a manner that will allow us to analyse and compare the experiences collected in a useful and friendly way.

Plotting the information on a map will help in visualizing the issues we want to document, in formulating recommendations for action and we can all possibly contribute to this is once we agree on what wold be relevant to highlight.

I would like to hear from you about ideas on the indicators we should look out for and that we could map against certain agroecological zones

Here, to start the thinking process, from the top of my head what we could look at

Ecozones

- Desert margins
- Mountain ecosystems
- Tropical forests
- Tidal areas and welt lands
- Circum polar regions
…
…

Thematic maps

- Culture / indigenous groups
- Poverty maps
- Biodiversity hotspots

- Mapping climate change and cultural heritage
- Climate projections including average changes and extreme weather events.
- How biophysical impacts impact human and ecosystem health.
- Changes in biodiversity and traditional food-source security.
- Impacts on indigenous employment, enterprise and tourism.
…
…

Metereological regime

- Rain fall
- Temperature
…
…
…

Particular attention should be paid to Ecotones, amongst the most interesting areas for observation.

Up for discussion!
Monday 17 to Monday 2 December
Share your knowledge - how indigenous and rural communities are coping with climate change through adaptation measures, increasing resilience of agroecosystems and what are the mitigation options available and or used by rural communities? Which knowledge gaps exist which, if identified, would help people to better adapt to climate change? --- If you have a document to contribute you can upload it at the "Documents" page, at the "Links" page you can contribute a link to valuable web-resources.

To happen next !!!

Tuesday 25 November to Tuesday 2 December
How would you raise awareness on the importance of ABD to cope with climate change and try to get the issue included in international research/ development agendas?

Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 December
We will dedicate these three days to address some issues that arose during the discussions, wrap-up the discussions and circulate some text upon which the participants would agree upon and that we could eventually use as our position paper.
