IPROMO
Course on "Understanding and adapting to climate change
in mountain areas"
8 - 17 July 2012
Italy
Dear Mountain Partnership focal points,
We are pleased to announce the fifth summer course organized by
IPROMO<http://www.ipromo-school.it/en/> - the training programme on
sustainable mountain development - jointly organized by the Mountain
Partnership Secretariat at FAO and the University of Turin, Faculty of
Agriculture, Department of Protection of Agroforestry Resources.
IPROMO benefits from the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and this year it will be partially funded by the Development
Grant Facility programme of the World Bank.
IPROMO's theme this year is "Understanding and adapting to climate
change in mountain areas" and for the first time the course will
target in particular members of the national delegations to the UNFCCC
- United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The aim of
this year's course is to share with the selected participants key
facts about the main consequences of climate change in mountain areas,
how to adapt to it and to provide some techniques for strengthening
negotiation skills. At the end of the course, the participants will
have a better understanding of changes happening in mountain
ecosystems, their impact on natural resources and on social and
economic systems, and on adaptation strategies. Their capacity to
integrate mountain related language in negotiated texts will be
enhanced.
The course will run from 8 to 17 July 2012 with 10 days of full
immersion learning. It will include lectures, practical work and field
trips. The course will be held in Ormea, (Piedmont Region) and in
Courmayeur (Valle d'Aosta Region) both in Italy, with several
excursions and field activities.
The course - which will be held in English - will be open to a maximum
of 30 professionals who are part of the national delegations to the
UNFCCC - preference will be given to participants coming from
countries which are members of the Mountain
Partnership<http://www.mountainpartnership.org/>. Participants from
developing countries are encouraged to apply.
The total cost of the course (inclusive of full board, accommodation,
taxes, teaching equipment, internal transfers but excluding travel
costs) is 3,000 Euros. A limited number of scholarships - full (on
site and travel costs) and partial (on-site only) - are available for
selected participants from developing countries.
Excellent knowledge of English, a university degree possibly in a
technical area such as Agriculture, Forestry, Biology, Geology or
Geography, and relevant working experience as member of the national
delegation to the UNFCCC are indispensable prerequisites.
Those who are interested in participating can register online at
http://www.mountainpartnership.org/ipromoform/subscription/en/
and upload their curriculum vitae as a Word or PDF file. Applications
should be received by 20 May 2012 and a notification will be sent out
by mid June to all applicants.
Kindly share this call for applications with the members of your
national delegation to UNFCCC.
Thank you and kind regards,
Rosalaura Romeo

established by Mr. Tek Jung Mahat
<http://realisingchange.blogspot.com/> in Nov. 2005 as a voluntary
service function, to promote networking and knowledge exchange among
concerned professionals at global, regional and local level. Since
then, it has developed an alliance of over 650 environment
professionals (individuals and institutions) from over 30 countries in
Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin and North America. Group’s popularity
and supporting activities eventually led to birth of ClimateHimalaya
