I'm not entirely sure what these curious things are. I'm pretty sure they are useful for moviemaking. How, I don't know.

 

But they looked cool. :)

El Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, con el apoyo del Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) y el financiamiento del Adaptation Fund del Protocolo de Kioto, implementó el proyecto de “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana”, una apuesta que logró generar acciones que les permitieron a las comunidades de los municipios de San Benito Abad, San Marcos y Ayapel, enfrentar las inundaciones y sequías producidas por los efectos del cambio climático, a través de la implementación de medidas de adaptación en sus modos de vida.

 

Gracias a esta iniciativa, la Mojana, y los Municipios de San Benito Abad, Ayapel y San Marcos, cuentan ahora con una valiosa cantidad de información hidroclimatológica y un Sistema de Alertas Tempranas implementado coordinadamente con el IDEAM y CORPOMOJANA, que aporta información sin precedentes en otras regiones del país, para la planeación y tomar decisiones de política pública a nivel nacional, regional y local. En este sentido, se establecieron 11 estaciones de monitoreo climático, y se consolidaron 27 comités comunitarios para el monitoreo del Sistema de Alertas Tempranas, así como la creación del Centro de Pronósticos y Alertas que funciona en Corpomojana.

 

El proyecto logró también resultados significativos para las comunidades de la región de la Mojana, que implementaron medidas agroecológicas adaptables al cambio climático, que fomentan las prácticas tradicionales de producción más resilientes a los efectos del clima. Así mismo, apoyó el desarrollo de actividades productivas que permiten la diversificación de fuentes de alimentos que contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y generación de ingresos, con una participación directa de 2.000 familias. Se establecieron más de 270 hectáreas de sistemas agrosilvopastoriles, 1.900 huertas familiares adaptadas a posibles inundaciones y más de 80 hectáreas de cultivos orgánicos de maíz, fríjol, guandú, plátano y yuca.

 

Así mismo, junto con las comunidades, se propuso un diseño de vivienda y centro comunitario que incorporan criterios de adaptación y variabilidad climática. Como resultado se construyeron 11 centros comunitarios adaptados al cambio climático para la comunidad; se implementaron en más de 500 hogares sistemas de captación de agua lluvia para los tiempos de sequía y medidas de gestión del riesgo; se edificaron viviendas vernáculas con adaptaciones a las inundaciones y se estructuraron 14 centros educativos con medidas para proporcionar agua en tiempos de sequía para más de 200 niños.

 

Con el apoyo técnico del Instituto Alexander Von Humboldt- IAVH, el Proyecto construyó para la región, la planificación eco regional, que define los lugares y acciones necesarias para la restauración de ecosistemas, a partir de la Planificación para la restauración de ecosistemas de humedal. Se implementaron acciones de restauración impactando a 945 hectáreas, en los Municipios de Ayapel, San Benito Abad y San Marcos y 35 km de canales en 5 caños priorizados en el territorio, recuperando la capacidad de regulación y amortiguación de estos ecosistemas, reduciendo la vulnerabilidad de las comunidades, la flora y fauna nativa mojanera, frente a los impactos de inundaciones y sequías. Estas acciones beneficiaron a más de 4.500 personas y permitieron la instalación de 29 viveros temporales establecidos con una producción de más de 200 mil plantas, de las cuales cerca de 137 mil, fueron sembradas.

 

“Aquí aprendimos de todo, recibimos muchas capacitaciones y al final nosotras sacamos adelante este proyecto. Con el conocimiento hicimos los viveros, las restauraciones y las huertas, ahora acompañamos a otras comunidades para hacer lo mismo”, cuenta Juana Madariaga de la comunidad de Pasifueres.

 

Por otra parte se realizó el fortalecimiento Comunitario e Institucional, con el que se capacitaron 155 Promotores Rurales para la Adaptación territorial, incorporar consideraciones de Cambio Climático en 12 instrumentos de planificación, 38 organizaciones de base, 3 de ellas lideradas por mujeres y se instaló la Plataforma de Mujer Rural. Esta estrategia se trabajó de la mano con las alcaldías municipales, las universidades regionales y las autoridades ambientales con jurisdicción en el territorio.

 

“Para el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible el trabajo realizado en la Mojana es un ejemplo para todo el país. Este proceso no sólo ha permitido a la región adaptarse a los efectos del cambio climático, sino tejer procesos de asociatividad que han permitido comprender con mayor facilidad los cambios presentados en la región y establecer las medidas necesarias para adaptarse y enfrentar temporadas de sequía o inundaciones”, Comentó el Ministro de Ambiente Carlos Correa.

 

Gracias a la experiencia y las lecciones aprendidas con el proyecto “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana” se abre la puerta a una nueva iniciativa que escalará todas estas acciones para aumentar la resiliencia al clima y la sostenibilidad ambiental y social de las comunidades vulnerables en la región de La Mojana. Lo anterior, a través del proyecto Mojana Clima y Vida, liderado por el Fondo de Adaptación, con recursos del Fondo Verde para el Clima (GCF) que cobijará a los 11 municipios de la depresión Momposina, con el fin de aumentar la resiliencia y la sostenibilidad socioambiental para abordar los efectos del cambio climático, el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales y la gestión eficiente frente a los riesgos de desastres.

 

“Los logros alcanzados, no serían posibles sin el compromiso de las comunidades y el apoyo de la institucionalidad pública nacional, regional y local, en cabeza del Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible y de la local, gobernaciones, alcaldías y corporaciones ambientales, quienes han contribuido a que las medidas implementadas por el proyecto tengan resultados tangibles. Seguiremos trabajando en el fortalecimiento y generación de capacidades locales, que se materialicen en una planeación del desarrollo sostenible y compatible con el clima, y en la construcción de territorios resilientes y adaptados, concluyó Jimena Puyana, Gerente de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible. / Nov. 14, 2020.

Implementation of the City of Savannah Smoke-Free Ordinance: Lessons Learned

Kubiš Says Iraqis Want Leaders to Act to Counter Extremism, Promote Tolerance

 

Baghdad, 10 February 2016 - Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq Jan Kubiš, at the conclusion of World Interfaith Harmony Week in Iraq, said that the people of Iraq have sent a clear message to their Government and to the political and religious leaders that they want action to counter extremism and sectarian policies and promote tolerance. He stressed continued UN support in such an effort.

 

“Throughout this week, we have heard stories about the destructive impact of sectarian, religious and ethnic violence on many communities in Iraq. No religion, sect, nationality or ethnic group is immune to this disease and threat. Radical ideology and policies of sectarianism, violent extremism and terrorism that are in its most extreme form represented today by Daesh present a serious threat not only to peace and security; but if not curbed, will also be a threat to the unity of Iraq and its people,” the SRSG said.

 

Mr. Kubiš added: “We cannot allow the inciters of sectarian violence to pull communities into the cycle of violence and reprisals and drive a wedge between various components of Iraqi society. They ultimately serve the interests of terrorism.”

 

The World Interfaith Harmony Week, marked worldwide on the first week of February, promotes a culture of peace and non-violence, religious and cultural understanding, and emphasises the need for dialogue among different faiths to enhance cooperation and harmony. In activities held in Najaf, Baghdad and Erbil 2-10 February 2016, religious leaders, politicians, academics and civil society groups came together around the theme of interfaith dialogue and harmony as key to ensuring peace and stability.

 

“These discussions have encouraged all of us to think about ways to promote the principles of tolerance, equality, justice and co-existence,” the SRSG said at the concluding session on Wednesday 10 February 2016 that was held at the Al-Jilani Mosque in Baghdad under the theme: “Bringing It All Together: An Action Plan to Promote and Protect Religious Harmony”.

 

SRSG Kubiš said that participants over the past week demanded action. They urged legislators to repeal discriminatory legislation and implement inclusive policies as well as to adopt laws clearly criminalising hate speech and propaganda that incites violent extremism. They also called on the Government to create the necessary conditions for the safe and sustainable return of displaced communities as well as ensure State authority is restored to liberated areas as quickly as possible to prevent violence. Participants urged political and religious leaders to promote tolerance, understanding and peaceful coexistence to counter violent doctrines and sectarianism. Civil society, in particular women and youth who shape familial and social norms, and media, which drive public opinion, have a key role to play.

 

Participants also urged the state to vigorously work for real and profound reforms to ensure good governance and elimination of corruption, inclusive and equitable access to employment opportunities, education, health and other services, effectively functioning economy and social justice. Without such reforms, the burden of the current economic fiscal and social crisis and austerity measures will only further alienate and radicalize many, mainly young people.

 

“The participants in The World Interfaith Harmony Week sent a strong appeal to the State to implement confidence-building measures that would promote tolerance, equality, justice and respect for diversity thus, working also for national reconciliation, for historic compromise that will preserve unity of Iraq and its people,” the SRSG said.

 

Political forces are called upon to overcome political divisions that so far prevented progress on these issues, he said, expressing UN readiness to contribute to implementing the recommendations.

 

Opening Remarks were given by:

• Dr. Anas Mahmoud al-Issawi, Second Imam of the Sheikh Al-Jilani Mosque

• Mr. Ján Kubiš, Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq

• Dr. Abdelatif Humaim, Head of the Sunni Endowment

• Mr. Sataar Jabbar al-Jaizani, Representative of the Head of the Diwan of the Shia Endowment, and

• Patriarch Louis Sako, Chaldean Patriarch of the World.

 

A panel entitled "What are the key issues and ideas that were highlighted during the World Interfaith Week Events held so far?" was held moderated by Mr. Marwan Ali, Director of UNAMI Office of Political Affairs and the panelists were: Dr. Hassan Nathem, UNESCO Chair for Inter-Religious Dialogue Studies in the Islamic World, University of Kufa,

• Ms. Shatna al-Abousi, Advisor to the Speaker of the Parliament,

* Mr. Ali Difai, QAdvisor to the First Deputy Speaker of the Parliament,

• Dr. Jabra Ahmed Ankoush, Professor at Baghdad University

• Mr. Falah al-Alousi, Salam al-Rafidain Organization.

Participants in a learning event held on June 4, 2014 had the opportunity to learn more about the experiences of Opportunity International (Ghana), Habitat for Humanity (India), and the Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance (Afghanistan) in the development and implementation of housing microfinance initiatives.

 

In 2009, USAID awarded three new Implementation Grant Programs (IGPs) to promote housing microfinance for poor households. The grantees have been testing different models of financing and assisting housing improvements and micro-mortgages. The objective of these IGPs is to allow grantees to develop and implement viable business models and roll out products to a greater number of clients, and to document and share their learning with the program and the industry. Such approaches aim to support improved standards of living as well as asset creation for poor households, while being commercially viable for microfinance institutions.

 

The SEEP Network has been facilitating a learning network that ensures high quality outcomes with respect to the learning processes of the grantees along with the creation of highly relevant learning products for wide-scale dissemination. The learning network advances the learning agenda for the Housing MF IGP network and the industry at large.
