Communication for Sustainable Development Initiative - CSDI
GCP/INT/048/ITAProgress Report and key issues
Communication, Climate Change, Natural Resources Management and Food Security
Climate Change and sustainable NRM require multi-stakeholders action, innovation and a process of social learning for adaptive livelihoods.
Communication is a key for CCA and NRM.
Communication for Development, is central to enable rural people and institutions to:
• assess and agree on needs and priorities; • document and share relevant knowledge and
information; • foster multi-stakeholder dialogue and action.
Communication, Climate Change, Natural resources management and Food Security
Communication for Development systems and strategies can support CCA, NRM and Food Security in rural areas by: facilitating equitable access to knowledge and
information;
promoting peoples’ participation and collaborative NRM;
supporting research and advisory services for technology innovation;
enhancing adaptation processes and disaster risk management;
bridging the gap between global environment information, local knowledge and communities;
strengthening dialogue between institutions and small farmers.
