Bridging Science, policy and actions to address climate change

The available options to address climate change are: mitigation to reduce further emissions and rehabilitate ecosystems; adaptation to reduce the damage  caused by warming and increase resiliency in the face of related hazardous events; and geoengineering or climate engineering to reverse global warming (e.g.ocean iron fertilization). Within this options are tools ranging from science-based (modelling, monitoring, vulnerability mapping, comprehensive risk assessment, economic valuation, etc.) to community based (information, education, communication or IEC campaign, participatory planning, risk communication, livelihood programs, etc.). Capacity development, knowledge management, technology exchange, and financing are also necessary to equip coastal communities to implement adaptation measures and implement and monitor appropriate mitigation measures.

Mental and Emotional Health

Parents of the 21st century often worry that a lot of old-fashioned convictions are lost and they are uncertain of the kind of morals, ambitions, and character the children will be having and the kind of world that awaits them as adults. Healthy mental and emotional development of children is an important goal of parenting. Parents should note that it is the first two to three years of life that children's personalities are being most actively molded by the attitudes of the parents or of the others who provided most the care of the baby. A baby who is cared for mainly by loving, enthusiastic parents, perhaps with the help of others, surges ahead. Parents should give their children their visible love, pride, and joy, even in tiny accomplishments, to foster emotional depth and keen intelligence.

It also involves the inculcation of values and discipline. Many parents do not know how they score in the Parenting Scale. While specific techniques for child-raising will come, go, and change, there are certain core values and fundamental practices that won't change.Parenting brings many tensions, strains, and wear-and-tear but we must have the right heart-attitude toward our role as parents. We have to be wise and Godly parents, carrying the duty and responsibility before God, because parenting is an overwhelming, life-consuming, life-long priority. Nothing is more humbling than being a parent. It must encompass all aspects meeting the emotional, psychological, material and physical needs of the children. Good parenting does not come overnight. It is a long and fruitful process.
