Join us 2 pm Ethiopian time today for the Braced Programme Twitter chat on limits to climate adaptation. #AdaptationLimits

Hi, I’m Negusu Aklilu. I’m a #ClimateAdaptation practitioner working on Farm Africa/Braced Programme’s #UKaid funded MAR project, which builds the resilience of pastoralist communities in Ethiopia bit.ly/2Ict3if #AdaptationLimits

Q2. A dearth of accurate weather info has left many people in lowland Ethiopia in the dark about looming #climate shocks. Farm Africa has installed 25 digital weather stations, which broadcast weather & climate info in 10 languages. bit.ly/2WWv6dG #AdaptationLimits

Q2. There is an urgent need for public media to provide decision-relevant climate services free of charge to rural communities, so that communities are aware of possible climate shocks that could impact on their ability to raise livestock and grow crops. #AdaptationLimits

Absolutely! #AdaptationLimits

Q2. Low insurance coverage hampers communities' resilience. Farm Africa is piloting micro-insurance products that help pastoralists respond to climate shocks in ways that contribute to their recovery, rather than weaken them further. bit.ly/2u9b19J #AdaptationLimits

Recurrent droughts and floods indicate that we might have reached #AdaptationLimits in some pastoralist areas in Ethiopia

I understand limits as not just physical but also social, cultural, technological, financial... the list goes on. If limits are just about physical barriers then it confines the conversation #AdaptationLimits not just #AdaptationLimits

How should we respond to emerging #AdaptationLimits? We need increase our pace and stop them from setting in.

Q5. People would lose assets, like livestock, livelihoods systems would fail & human lives would be lost. #AdaptationLimits

#adaptationlimits

I agree with you, Laurie. The more the climate changes and the more delayed we are in our response... #AdaptationLimits

Thank you, colleagues, for the fascinating conversation. Im leaving now. #AdaptationLimits

It has been a great honor coordinating the #DestinyEthiopia project with a team of 8 professionals for the last year or so. We witnessed the emergence of hope against hope in the collective scenario building process. Dawn is what the team of 50 leaders chose. How about you?
