� The value of grassroots involvement in climate-related decision-making has received attention in several official climate policy documents
� Nonetheless minority groups including indigenous people (e.g. mobile people / pastoralists) are still largely excluded from climate-related decision-making.

� Climate science and related information can be used to great advantage to avoid and manage climatic risks and to take advantage of the opportunities arising from changed climate conditions.
� IPACC delegates in partnership with the WMO’s WCC3, IPACC, AFPAT, CTA and ASISO implement the the project “Influencing regional policy processes in Climate Change Adaptation through the merger of African pastoralist traditional knowledge and atmospheric science”

Challenges
7
� Climate change & increasing restrictions on mobility
� Increasing distances � Loss of livestock � Change of lifestyle � Distinctive needs rarely
addressed

Bridging knowledge systems
8
� Climate science uses modern monitoring and forecasting systems to generate and provide a wide range of information on past, present and future
� Local decision making: information & other factors e.g. social networks, local loyalties, cultural values, intuition, beliefs and age-old trust in traditional predictive systems.
� Ordinary people experience great difficulties in making their voice heard by scientists.
� Communications challenges are found along a continuum.
