Development and Climate Days and Adaptation Practitioners Days

Highlights for Sunday, 2 December 2012

Adaptation Practitioners Days (APD) opened for the second and final day on Sunday morning, 2 December 2012, with two parallel sessions on Adaptation Actions in Food Security and Water Resources Management, and Adaptation in Disaster Risk Management, Coastal Zone Management and Health. Developing country participants presented their experiences with implementing projects funded by the Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) and the Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF) in these sessions.

Following the closure of APD at 1.05 pm the Development and Climate Days (D&C Days) reconvened for the final four sessions. In an opening plenary session, facilitators of four working groups held on Saturday made brief presentations on questions and insights on climate smart development. This was followed by a session seeking "fast-paced reflections" on development and adaptation dilemmas, the second part of the Marketplace, and a closing plenary.

The formal sessions of D&C Days ended at 5.30 pm.

An evening reception organized by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) followed, around the theme of "gender and climate change – exploring opportunities for positive change".
