I can have peace of mind only when I forgive rather than judge.

It has been a great honor coordinating the #DestinyEthiopia project with a team of 8 professionals for the last year or so. We witnessed the emergence of hope against hope in the collective scenario building process. Dawn is what the team of 50 leaders chose. How about you?

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Thank you, colleagues, for the fascinating conversation. Im leaving now. #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

I agree with you, Laurie. The more the climate changes and the more delayed we are in our response... #AdaptationLimits

[Laurie Goering @lauriegoering]

Yes, one thing is absolutely clear: The more the climate changes, the more costly it's going to be for everyone, but particularly the most vulnerable #ClimateChangeIsReal #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

#adaptationlimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

@Braced Unfortunately, yes. We have had lots of loss and damage as a result of increasingly recurrent climate shocks exacerbated by political and institutional pressures. #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

@Braced Unfortunately, yes. We have had lots of loss and damage as a result of increasingly recurrent climate shocks also exacerbated by political and institutional pressures.

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Q5. People would lose assets, like livestock, livelihoods systems would fail & human lives would be lost.
#AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

How should we respond to emerging #AdaptationLimits? We need increase our pace and stop them from setting in.

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

I understand limits as not just physical but also social, cultural, technological, financial... the list goes on. If limits are just about physical barriers then it confines the conversation #AdaptationLimits not just #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Recurrent droughts and floods indicate that we might have reached #AdaptationLimits in some pastoralist areas in Ethiopia

[Braced Programme @Braced]

Okay as panelists answer questions from the audience I am just going to throw a third question out there: Q3. Are we approaching those limits in places? Where do you see it happening or worry about it happening? #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Q2. Low insurance coverage hampers communities' resilience. Farm Africa is piloting micro-insurance products that help pastoralists respond to climate shocks in ways that contribute to their recovery, rather than weaken them further. https://t.co/1HyyEzXmR9 #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Absolutely! #AdaptationLimits

[Braced Programme @Braced]

So giving people under pressure access to better information is a way of pushing #AdaptationLimits further out?

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Q2. There is an urgent need for public media to provide decision-relevant climate services free of charge to rural communities, so that communities are aware of possible climate shocks that could impact on their ability to raise livestock and grow crops. #AdaptationLimits

[Negusu Aklilu @NegusuA]

Q2. A dearth of accurate weather info has left many people in lowland Ethiopia in the dark about looming #climate shocks. Farm Africa has installed 25 digital weather stations, which broadcast weather & climate info in 10 languages. https://t.co/o74ODBCODH #AdaptationLimits

Hi, I’m @NegusuA. I’m a #ClimateAdaptation practitioner working on @FarmAfrica/@BRACED’s #UKaid funded MAR project, which builds the resilience of pastoralist communities in Ethiopia https://t.co/DZuljkLQp1 #AdaptationLimits
