Trendy

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Evidence

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
We must incorporate a system approach considering the disaster-climate change-development nexus.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Setting the threshold and triggers is going to be highly impacted by climate variability and climate change in current decade.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
DEFINITELY

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Existing national policies on utilization of funds

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
Improved data, science, infrastructure and services help deliver more accurate and timely impact-based, multi-hazard early warning systems and are fundamental to preparing for and building resilience to the impacts of climate change.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Addressing capacity gaps in countries and regions that are most vulnerable to extreme climate, weather, water and environmental hazards to help translate early warnings into early action.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
Availability of early warning with considerable lead time enabling AA to reach population at risk.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Requirement of deep historical climate data to create futuristic models before AA is delivered.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
Yes, we must take anticipatory action because it will be an ethical issue when we don’t act even when we can predict with increasing confidence the likelihood of climate change related disasters.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
How to ensure strong linkages of anticipatory action with risk reduction, preparedness and response? How to act effectively in a relatively short window of time? What to do in case of false alarms?

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
People affected by protracted armed conflict are extremely susceptible to be affected by climate change and variability, anticipating disasters in this context is not an options, it is essential.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
AA needs to be contextual and a deep understanding of the dynamics of conflict in particular at risk areas is essential to develop AA systems that can flourish and that ultimately serve the most vulnerable.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
The story of climate change isn’t just living in graphs, data, or the prediction of scientists anymore. It is becoming our reality. Anticipatory Action will be an important tool to how we manage and mitigate that reality.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Ensuring we connect the dots. We cannot act in a vacuum. We must think sustainably.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
The climate change is likely to change the frequency and intensity of the extreme events. Therefore, it will be more difficult to define the thresholds in space, time, and magnitude for the activation of anticipatory action. Besides, in the context of climate change the weather and ocean dynamics will be more complex to predict.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
My challenge in the anticipatory action is to strike a balance between the forecasted lead time with socially and economically acceptable early actions for the effective reduction of the impacts from a hazard for the vulnerable communities in the hematein sector. Since the exposure and vulnerabilities are dynamic in nature, setting up a trigger model becomes more complex along with the activation of thresholds (when to act and where to act) in the multiple objectives driven sectors. The major challenge is to mainstream the FbF concept, and it’s benefits in reducing impacts in the government and development partners of DRR programme.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
Forecast-based Financing (FbF) is an innovative mechanism to prevent the increasing impacts of natural disasters to occur, by addressing the gaps between forecasts and relief actions.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Short lead times and robust forecast triggers to be trusted for activation of funding, especially by local counterparts / governments.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
We Should be prepared
We should focus on building resilient communities
Work around adaptable and flexible programs for timely response

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Political will and economy analysis and availability of long term sustainable funding – since the scope is very broad and Humanitarian organizations can contribute to it but not handle it while working in silos.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
It is the key to minimize the impact of extreme climate events on livelihoods especially in the case of those who depend on natural resources for their living.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Ensure that it will become a standard approach to bring together development, humanitarian and climate change actors.

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
Anticipation is the most suitable solution for the future climate change. Although we can’t stop the climate change completely yet, we can reduce the impacts of climate change by doing anticipation actions in our communities. Anticipation action is the answer for the climate change related disasters.

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
Political situations and lack of good governance.

How to strengthen and make practical the linkages between AA and Shock-Responsive Social Protection

Anticipation in the context of climate change?
Emerging Impact’s experience deploying blockchain solutions for rapid and transparent cash and voucher delivery strongly indicates that the automation and predictive algorithms native to blockchain applications can be adapted for anticipatory delivery of digital cash assistance to those who need it most, thus providing a last-mile delivery mechanism for anticipatory action models (likewise, an increasing number of blockchain solutions are being explored in the use of parametric insurance, similar in principle to AA).

My challenges with Anticipatory Action?
The majority of FbF and AA approaches that I am aware of face the following challenges: a) strong focus on the provision of in-kind assistance rather than CVA despite evidence demonstrating improved outcomes in cash based approaches; (b), appear to struggle with traceability and monitoring on the delivery end in a manner that demonstrates attributable impact (i.e. mitigation of hazard-related impacts on communities); and (c) use multiple, non-integrated datasets to formulate AA/FbF program deliver approaches, such that actual delivery datasets (commodities, beneficiaries etc) are difficult to align with forecasted datasets, making it harder to draw clear causality between the action and the impact of assistance provided.
