Adaptation to the climate Adaptation to the climate changechange
“Learning for sustainability (L4S)”
Goal
The main goal of an L4S workshop is to support a self-learning process based on individual experience and leading to an increase of competence and knowledge
Why an L4S workshop?• It creates an atmosphere for open
discussion at local level• It generates (new) ideas for village
development planning• It helps in identifying and
evaluating village resources, potentials and opportunities
• It represents the ‘first step’ for creating village partnerships and active initiative groups
• It helps in changing the frequent passive role of communities acting as ‘recipients of social aid’ who let powerful people take decisions.
Selection criteria for local participants
• active and motivated villager
• reliable partner (based on previous experiences)
• representation of various village institutions (e.g. NGO’s, local self-governance bodies, village committees)
• competent in the topical field of the L4S and eventually interested in later implementation activities
• good mix/balance of age and gender
L4S learning concept
The program of an L4S workshop: • introduction to the topic,• an analysis of the current situation, • a definition of reasons of perceived
problems,• and possible joint solutions.
During an L4S training, the moderators gradually involve the participants in interactive discussions using different methodologies and tools such as brainstorming, working with cards, group work, role play, simulation game etc. This partially requires specific training materials purposely developed for the CAMP L4S modules

Climate change
• Data since 1930
• 4 climatic areas: Northern, North-West (NNWK),
South-West Kyrgyzstan (SWK), Issyk-Kul hollow
(IKH) and Internal Tian-Shan (ITS)
• Average temperature rise: for 1,6С (global rise
0,6С)
• Average warming in winter: 2,6С (Naryn: 5,2С)
• Average warming in summer: 1,2С
• Slight increase of the average annual
precipitations for 23 mm

What is climate?
Climate change
Weather:: daily fluctuation of temperature
Climate(mediummin/max)
Simulation gameCrops 60 ha (60%) fixed 40 ha (40%) can be
replaced by other
crops according to
the discretion of
villages
Berries 3 ha (36 W.U.) 2 ha (24 W.U.)
Vegetables 18 ha (144 W.U.) 12 ha (96 W.U.)
Grain/Herbaceous 39 ha (156 W.U.) 26 ha (104 W.U.)
Total ha and water
units
60 ha (336 W.U.) 40 ha (224 W.U.)

Impact of the climate change on the resources
Resource Is it renewable or not?
What is a renewable cycle?
Conditions for renewability
Forest Renewable 10-15 years
Water, heat, soil, seeds, forest conservation
Water Renewable 1 year Circulation (water circulation in nature)
Resource Climate conditions
CC tendencies
What will happen with resource in case of the CC?
Pasture vegetation
Summer temperature 20-25 СWinter +10-20Precipitations 800 mm/year
Increase of temperatureIncrease of intensity of precipitations and their main share in winter months.
Pasture degradation
Resource Type of use Use assessment from the view of sustainability
What will happen with the resource?
Pasture vegetation
Pastures, livestock grazing
Too many livestockThe terms are not observedLack of rotation….
Pasture degradation
The climate change risk assessment
Как снизить риск?
Риск = Подверженность Опасности * (Уязвимость / Потенциал сопротивляемости)

The degree at which the system is vulnerable to CC or can not resist, the adverse effect of CC, including climate variability and extreme events
Vulnerability = ƒ (Susceptibility, Perceptibility, Adaptive Capacity)
Adaptation measures• The watershed volume –
27 000 м3. Irrigated area is 405 ha (“Druzhba” farm, 30 families).
• Arrangement of the gate valve and water gate in the supply channel.
• Supply with irrigation water in May and June
• Expected profit makes 600 000 KGS per year (given increase of the cereals yield for 5 centner/ha, 1 kg – 8 KGS)
Adaptation measures
• Water loss till 35% due to the weak throughput capacity of the irrigation network.
• Increase of the irrigation water supply of the 1,5 thousand ha of plough land of 510 farms.
• Support of the “Chistye prudy” WUA (Clean ponds) on capital cleaning of 1500 m of the irrigation channels
Voices of participants from L4S workshops
The workshops help in achieving clear
ideas and principlesAs a teacher I consider that L4S workshop
could be used in the school with a big
benefit
L4S workshops are very good for transformation
of complicated things into simple and accessible
ones
External participants help villagers in defining problems and issues
It could be useful to participate at LforS workshops for the state officials, dealing with
natural resource managementPresentation of the
workshop outcomes to the villagers
Hidden potential and village opportunities are revealed during
L4S workshops
People see, that they should participate in decision-
making and solve problems with own strength
At L4S workshops we have opportunities to discuss village problems jointly and find ways for their solving at local level
Locally held L4S workshops give opportunities for villagers to feel themselves confidently,
relaxedly, comfortable
Thank you for attention
