For 2016, the theme “Adapting and Living below 2°C: Bridging the Gaps in Policy & Practice” will explore platforms and concrete pathways for even greater partnerships by governments, civil society and business. With the growing interest and with the recognition of adaptation not only as a development imperative but as an existential one as well, we are looking forward to welcoming more than 800 participants who will be looking towards meaningful outcomes during the event.

Climate change decision-making can be manoeuvred by policymakers no doubt, however, in a world where everything and all disciplines becomes linked to one another, it is not only important, but also imperative that all stakeholders are brought in to and made a part of this decision-making process.
Simultaneously though, it is important that we realise these decision-making process should not only be limited those achieved inside boardrooms or exclusive conference halls. While it might be practically impossible or improbable even to pay attention to and incorporate all opinions, it is important to work around what is believed to be a general consensus. Because, combatting climate change is not only about reduced emission levels but also in the longer run, a sustainable future for generations to come.

The fact that the weather risk has ruined rainfall agriculture. The uncertainty in weather conditions has put at risk the crop output, production and yield which contributes to the growing distress among the rain fed farmers in general and the marginal, small and resource poor farmers in particular resulting distress migration. Therefore, there is a need for rethinking on existing policy framework in order to ameliorate the conditions of this set of farmers in weather event and rain shadow areas.

It is something we hear one too many times a day, but young people are the future. In our fast ageing, overworked and exhausted world where more and more people are taking on multiple roles that exceed their capacity due to the shortage of skilled labour and financial deficits, we often fail to remember that we wouldn’t be able to do everything, forever. Hence, there is a great need to train a younger, more abled force that would successfully carry on the legacy of work that has already been started. Having this vision in mind and also with the intention of incorporating the opinions and perspectives of the youth, SLYCAN Trust organised the “Global Youth Forum on Climate Change” on October 18 as a side event at the Sri Lanka NEXT Conference and Exhibition.
