Moreover, in local climate change policy, there seem to be two discourses that have served to frame the adaptation and mitigation discourses: (a) the 'energy' discourse, shared with local civil society and energy policy domain stakeholders (climate change mitigation), and (b) the 'water' discourse, shared with water sector stakeholders.
Most importantly, I'm proud to have been able to represent and elevate the student/youth voice as part of a larger effort to mobilize multi-stakeholder climate action.
Several studies have investigated the perceptions of forest sector stakeholders on climate change and the implications for forest management (see for example Blennow et al. 2012; Yousefpour and Hanewinkel 2015; Nelson et al. 2016; Seidl et al. 2016), using different questions, approaches, and sample sizes, demonstrating a wide general awareness of the issue.
By contrast, where adaptation is effective the scenarios (1b and 2b) suggest that stakeholders anticipate climate change and pursue planned, strategic adaptation.
Thus, strategies and methods of forest restoration may follow different paradigms depending on stakeholder objectives, regional climate and degree of degradation (Jacobs et al. 2015).
We then highlight areas of convergence and divergence among the scenarios and stakeholders' views on climate change, not to compare scientific and lay knowledge but to investigate what understandings and motivations underlie stakeholders' views on adaptation.
Regional, national, and local stakeholders all regarded climate change as a main environmental process that affects disaster vulnerability.
Policies should, therefore, be aimed at promoting new adaptation options through information exchange between a wide range of stakeholders, and integrating climate change adaptation with Sri Lanka's sustainable developmental goals.
Levi hedges his bets, and it's likely that some stakeholders, particularly those climate activists who have thrown themselves most fully into efforts to block major fossil fuel projects like the Keystone XL pipeline, will find his sober, even-handed analysis incommensurate with what they see as a planetary emergency.
The responsible leadership model rests on five pillars: stakeholder consideration and ethical climate; integrity and justice; role modeling and empowerment; climate geared toward diversity and inclusion and long term orientation.
The Chair of the Federal Reserve would be an unusual stakeholder at a UN climate conference.
