Research questions

Current context 1. How to measure climate resilience?

2. What is eco-(system-based)-friendly adaptation?

Desirable future context

3. How can we transform agri-sys toward more resilience?

4. How to measure “changes” (agri-sys & resilience)?

experiences and the challenge for ImpressS

Objectives & intentions: • Co-build plausible pathways using

shared knowledge.

• Effective strategic planning & M&E • Mean for better communication

Strategic co-design pathway to achieve agreed desirable impact

Impact pathway & Theory of Change

Panomsak Promburom CARSR,Chiang Mai University

Companion Modelling (ComMod) processes

1. Agree on & define the problem/issue to be examined.

2. Co-construct a common representation of system context.

3. Establish dialogue & agree upon desirable long term goals.

4. Participatory strategic planning as means or pathways to achieve the goals.

5. Explore/assess possible scenarios with stakeholders.

6. Identify stakeholders’ coordination mechanisms, intervention points: needs of

technological and / or organizational /institutional innovations.

7. Negotiate a collective action plan.

8. Monitoring & evaluation.

The GERDAL approach: an approach based

on a comprehensive socio-technical analysis of change processes to support stakeholder

Fanny Bouyer et Claire Ruault

Objective: To facilitate the emergence of solutions / action plans negotiated by groups of peers/ mixed stakeholders.

How?: By stimulating the interactions between stakeholders

Process?: 1. Agree-upon a common problem/

concern. 2. “Co-think” (dialogue) how the

problem emerged, caused by people action? Why they did they act so?

3. Desirable changes/transformation 4. Chang of practices that are needed 5. Co-conception of solutions

Different points of vies different links to the reality, different criteria of assessment

Process: • Participatory consensus of driver

indicators (subjective) • Screening and prioritizing impact of

the drivers (evolving of indicators through participatory workshop)

• Develop future scenarios

• Develop and compromise strategies (using “belief statement”) expresses by stakeholders.

• Develop agent-based model, collect corresponding data

• Trial the proposed development strategies.

Idea: • Viability theory (≠ sustainability &

robustness) • Using mathematical model to trial set

of management (indicators) Human-wildlife conflict & resource management

Indicators & modelling for evaluation of N leaching

Multi-stages -level indicators & framework • Local / global, individual / collective

• Human & other bio-physical components

• Changes of stakeholders’ attribute (interaction, capacity, etc.)

• Subjective vs scientific –based

• Output, outcome, impact & progress of indicators along the pathway.

• Balance and compromise different views

• Actors/stakeholder participation is essential

• System thinking, Theory of Change, impact/outcome pathway and future visioning are common.

• Relevant framework/method: – Sustainable livelihood framework (SLF)

– Biodiversity

– Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR)

– Stakeholder analysis and management

– Participatory modelling
