SECTION B: Project report and reflection

1. Project description: The APEC Climate Symposium (APCS) was organized to increase awareness and understanding around the importance of utilizing climate information in response to climate extremes and change. This project was hosted by the APEC Climate Center (APCC) and held on August 20-22 in Punta Arenas, Chile in collaboration with Chilean Weather Service, University of Magallanes and APEC Chile 2019. Experts presented and discussed climate science and its applications to health and early warning systems in order to enhance socio-economic value of climate information and services. This scientific information was encouraged to be interlinked the social science including health and translated to articulate policies to better equip APEC decision-makers in sustainable growth and help tackle extreme weather events and climate change. 2.

Comments: APCC targeted government officials, including policy makers and experts involved in the fields of meteorology, climatology, early warning systems, health and international development. In engaging APEC fora including PPSTI and EPWG, APCC has encouraged member economies to recommend delegations considering gender balance. All participants have been added to the APCC mailing list to ensure that they receive regular updates and information about future events, helping keep participants connected to developments related to this work. As APCS is an annual event, APCC will continue to engage these participants. Due to a problem occurred during registration, some information on local participants’ gender and email address are limited

4. Outcomes and Objective: Having its objective to share knowledge and experiences and to support economies to strengthen their capacities to better respond to climate change in a long-term, it is difficult to have direct and prompt measurable outcomes. However, its first objective, to increase knowledge in climate information and services in various sectors such as health, early warning systems to respond to sustainable growth was clearly achieved as APCS brought together a diverse group of experts and participants from 17 member economies and hosted several discussions on those issues. At the end of the event, attendees were requested to provide feedback on the suitability, length, organization, and topic selection of the symposium among other things. In the first part of evaluation sheet, attendees were asked to score several aspects of the event in a scale from 1 to 3 where 1 is disagree and 3 is strongly agree. Below table shows the results for the main aspects. Thirty eight attendees filled out the form and the results are as follows:

To identify scientific efforts and challenges in managing risks caused by climate extreme events: The current and future developments in the global infrastructure for providing long-range predictions, and their potential utility for anticipating changes in climate extremes was discussed. Climate extremes were defined and categorized in terms of meteorological and societal definition. Single extreme events cause compound extremes. For instance, when hot, dry, windy condition continues, this can trigger fire occurrence while sea level rise, astronomical tides, and storm surge can affect coastal erosion and they


could worsen chances of societal stress. Also, properties, dynamics and impacts of El Nino, one of the most powerful climate variation phenomena were shared. Australia’s models on forecasting of extreme weather events from sub-seasonal to decadal timescales as well as Chile’s response to extreme weather events.

To increase understanding and sharing of various climate-smart solutions to climate-related risk reduction: Climate risk management has emerged over the last decade as a distinct area of activity within the wider field of climatology. However, the use of climate information produced by NMHSs has been limited due to lack of communication with other sectors. Thus, a number of presenters highlighted the importance of integrating climate and non-climate information in a wide range of climate-sensitive sectors of society. For instance, how international societies work to promote and accelerate the use of climate services for health and early warning systems was shared.

To develop policy recommendations related to climate actions through cross-sectorial efforts: the invited experts recommended APCC facilitate communication not only between climate scientists and policy makers but also between science and social scientists. In this regards, APCC has invited participants from EPWG as well as speakers recommended by APRU and APEC Research Center for Typhoon and Society, one of the APEC PPSTI Center. In addition, the role of APCC was highlighted in collection of climate information and support the use of collected information through capacity building programs for climate information uses in related fields such as environment, disaster risk management, etc. Moreover, in order to better adapt to climate change and enhance the socio-economic value of climate information, the overall event agreed that it is necessary to i) allocate budget for disseminating climate information, ii) prioritize and build communication capacity to effectively convey climate information; iii) integrate climate data management ; and iv) strengthen partnership amongst relevant sectors.

5. Capacity building: This project aimed to support the capacity building of member economies by sharing knowledge and best practices around climate change adaptation. According to the project evaluation survey conducted on the last day of the event, 58% of participants responded that their knowledge and skills on climate service improved after attending the symposium. Overall, they agreed that this event has raised their awareness and importance of understanding and using climate information services (level of knowledge and skill prior to the event was 3.6 out of 5 while 4.3 has been recorded after the event).In the face of increasing tendency and intensity of climate variability and change, decision-makers at all levels are seeking solutions to minimize their negative impacts. 6. Medium term changes: A number of participants expressed that this event has been significant in that it highlighted the importance of climate information service in securing sustainable development by incorporating the improved climate forecast into innovative early warning systems against extreme climate events under changing climate. Also, a number of government officials participated in recognized the link between climate science and social science including health. As one of the goals of the event is to raise awareness on the use of climate information and its service in diverse sectors of society in Asia-Pacific region, it is meaningful that participants enhance their understanding on the importance of bridging the gap between science and policy in order to effectively manage the society with science and evidence-based policy. 7. Key findings: Participants composed of climate information producers and users generally agreed that there is still a huge gap between climate information producers and users due to limited communication. For instance, climate information producers announce early warning which does not creates any action from the public. This implies that communication is the key in facilitating the usability of climate information service. In addition, participants noted that climate information services are essential to help address the growing demand for customized climate information. However, it does not always reach the users who need it most. Some participants also noted the use of intermediaries like agricultural extension workers to bridge the gap between users and producers of climate information. Information providers should engage user communities and work to bridge communication gaps by building institutional and technical capacity, concentrating on mechanisms that improve interaction with users. National Meteorological and Hydrological Services need different approaches to improve their outreach to users and should consider the needs of agriculture support services as well as farmers when developing weather and climate information products. It was distinctive that the level of recognition on the importance of communication amongst climate and social scientist as well as policy makers has substantially increased compared to last couple Symposia. This, in turn, will affect the way climate scientist work by seeking out more collaborative opportunities to bring socio-economic impact from their research activities.


Also, it has been found that the current disaster risk management is based on understanding what happened in the past. However, the characteristics and intensity of disaster are changing rapidly; and thus, traditional risk model approaches are likely to fail. Thus, climate scientists are required to contribute to communicating with others and to update assumptions and base data.

8. Next steps All APCS participants have been added to APCC’s network, receiving the APCC newsletter as well as updates on future events. As promoting international dialogue and collaboration is an essential component of APCC’s organizational mission, recipients will have the opportunity to participate in future activities promoting similar goals. In particular, the APEC Climate Symposium is an annual event, which focuses on the interface between science, technology, and policy, from a climate science perspective. The feedback results of this year’s event will be considered when planning future symposia, allowing for the event continually build on previous experiences. Dialogue between the experts was encouraged by the sharing of contact information and the solicitation of post-event input on the documentation. 9. Feedback for the Secretariat: None

Comments

• It is necessary to have a virtual forum or platform to influence policy as well as to keep members connected

• It will be good to have an opportunity to present and share lessons learned from participating economies

• It is recommended APCC invite some professors and/or experts from developing economies in APEC

• Facilitate to link with other APEC WGs to make discussion more cross-disciplinary

• Have more policy makers and private sector involved in the Symposium 4. How relevant was this symposium to you and your economy?

5. How will you apply the symposium’s content and knowledge gained at your workplace? Please provide examples (e.g. develop new policy initiatives, organize trainings, develop work plans/strategies, draft regulations, develop new procedures/tools etc.). Comments

• Reflect the contents discussed in teaching materials

• Develop a plan to implement newly learned practices such as early warning system in dengue, economic analysis of climate information, etc.

• Communicate with relevant agencies to promote collaboration between climate science and decision making as well as other fields such as social science including health. For instance, one will have inter-agency meeting with education sector to mainstream DRM into school curriculum
