Scoping Study in Panaji under INTERACT-Bio project

As part of the BMU supported INTERACT-Bio project, a scoping study was undertaken in Panaji, Goa. The same was coordinated by Dr. Julian Rode from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Germany.

As part of the scoping process, detailed interactions were carried out with subject matter specialists, Goa State Biodiversity Board and officials of the city corporation. The inputs from these meetings and information collated from secondary literature review were discussed in a workshop.

The workshop aimed at understanding the critical ecosystems for Panaji, the issues which these ecosystems are facing and the possible solutions for the same. The workshop saw a very high level of participation.

These inputs will now be used to develop the scoping report for the city, which will form the basis of proposing initiatives which focus on nature based solutions and conservation of biodiversity.

Advocacy

ICLEI- Local Governments for Sustainability seeks to build an international policy environment that strengthens local government and supports local sustainability. To facilitate this, ICLEI coordinates local government representation in several UN organizations. Our contributions in the form of side events, publications, verbal interventions and official background papers have been a consistent, major source of international attention to local initiatives and opportunities to enhance sustainability.

Examples of our advocacy work can be found under news and events.

Training

ICLEI helps strengthen the capacity of local government officials and leaders to drive a process of change towards sustainable development. ICLEI’s Global Capacity Centre (formerly the International Training Centre) organizes seminars, workshops, and conferences, and offers distance training, study tours, and exchange programs. Regular conferences focused on capacity building and exchange take place globally and regionally.

ICLEI South Asia offers local governments a range of services that support training and capacity building on a number of topics such as carbon emission inventorisation, vulnerability assessment, resilience strategy development, integrated water management, holistic waste management, urban mobility and local biodiversity planning. These trainings are sometimes included in programmes and projects, but could also be designed as stand-alone initiatives.
Conferences organized by ICLEI South Asia also provide opportunities for peer exchanges and capacity building, such as the Asia LEDS Partnership Forums and the Resilient Cities Asia Pacific Congresses.
