Mae'n meddwl i'r ganddoedd, which Anna put up earlier and looking at the different sessions we're doing. This is the session where what we're really keen to do is to learn from you guys. Hopefully there'll be a whole lot of stuff that we'll be talking about this week which will be useful for you and that you'll be able to learn as well. But we're really keen to learn from the experiences that you've had and how that can feed into understanding what the research and assessment priorities are. So we're here to discuss about the application, the development and the application of regional climate information in the context of risk assessment and adaptation. And we've obviously had experience in that but we know that you've had experience and that also will be interested to understand your perspectives on that and so we can try to develop a joint perspective coming out of this workshop which then we hope will be useful in the future in terms of essentially closing the gap that Anna was talking about earlier. If you remember in one of the points that Anna was making that their assessment of the national adaptation plans that were happening around Europe is that they're like 10 plus years in the past. So they're using AR4 science and in the AR6 through our assessment of the literature that was out there we could see that there is a significantly better way of doing that. What we really need to do is to close that gap between what the science really knows and what's there at the cutting edge of the science and what is actually being used in terms of the development of adaptation plans and the implementation of those adaptation plans. So we're here to close that gap. That's one of the things that we should be focusing on. So basically the goal of these yellow sessions and we're starting this afternoon is to develop a community perspective on the regional research and assessment priorities. So, as I was just introducing, we're looking to gather ideas from your experiences, from your perspectives on what you already have in terms of useful and actionable regional information, what you actually need in terms of that as well. I mean, what's missing, what is it that you can't do, what is the research that needs to happen in order to provide more robust information, information that is more directly applicable in an adaptation or risk assessment context. So we have designed these series of sessions throughout the week to encourage exchange of views and ideas of information. There is no such thing as a bad idea. There is no such thing as a stupid question. We want to hear what it is that you're thinking, what it is that you think that we really need to be brave, be creative, be confident, be collaborative. We're all here as equals. We all come with our own expertise and we're here to share and we're here to integrate all of that really rich knowledge that we all have to come up with something that's really useful. You will be aware that we sent out a couple of weeks ago a background survey which, thank you very much for those of you that have completed that. That still is there available online. We'd like you to, if some of you who haven't done that, if you have the time whilst we're here to complete that survey, that would be great. The inputs from that have allowed us to think about how we could structure the sessions that we are going to be running in the next few days. The first one is the one that's happening this afternoon. This is going to be a world cafe where we all collect together and discuss a series of different themes in terms of information either from a regional perspective, a sector perspective or watch relevant more broadly or more globally in terms of adaptation and loss of damage. But I won't say any more about that because I'll hand over to Olvera who's going to introduce that part of the world cafe session. OK, Sarah's going to come in first. As you can see, we are highly organised. Sorry? Yeah, that's what I'll do. Is this OK? Can people hear me? OK. So this is just a quick overview of when the sessions will take place, but you have that online so you can look that up if you need it. But what I wanted to talk to you about before we break in, then we'll introduce the world cafe and explain how you guys are going to interact. But before that, I wanted to give a quick overview of the survey that we sent out and some of the responses that have come back already because I thought you'd maybe find it interesting to see what you and your fellow colleagues have been giving us information on and what your views are. So a little bit of background. So this is all the people who were registered for the workshop. So we have roughly around 70 participants, both in person and online. And then you can see on the bottom right is the regional sort of breakdown. So you have majority from Asia. Asia is obviously a massive continent anyway. And then we've got big sections from Africa, Europe and Latin America, smaller from the Oceana region and North America. About 50% of us are early career. Ooh, I didn't touch anything. About 50% of us are early career, 38% mid and 11% senior. And we've got roughly 50-50 male female, a little bit less on the female. And so that's just in context of who is here, both in person and online. And then now looking at the survey. Okay, so at the moment we've had 34 responses, so roughly half. If you haven't taken the survey, please do. It would be really great to build on this data set. So you've got the QR code that you can scan literally now and there's the link there when you get the slides later on. I can also, for the people online, I'll put this link in the chat later on so you guys can access it there. It would be really nice to share all the responses, like a summary of all the responses that we get by the end of the week. Share it all with you guys. So it would be nice to get the number to be higher than 34. In terms of what responses we've got at the moment, you can see the list of countries on the right here and then what stage of the career they're in. And so we've got quite a good representation. Obviously we need more responses from everywhere, but particularly Oceana in the South American regions, a little bit less underrepresented. So if you haven't responded, please do. And then what best describes the institute slash organisation that you work for? Yes, you've maybe got a feel for this already when we were doing the introductions, but the majority of us are either university or research institute-based, but that's not everyone. So we've got people from government, central regional government, international organisations, private companies, and so I would challenge you throughout this week to try and talk to at least one other person outside of your classification. Try and mix with people. Don't just stick to if you're from a research institution, don't just talk to people from a research institution. I think try and break up and talk to as many different diverse people as you can over the week, because I think you can really benefit from the diversity of experiences that you've got in this room and online together. And I want the Delft people definitely to break up and not always be sitting next to each other in the meeting. So I asked if you used model data, observational data or both. The vast majority of you say you actually used a combination of both, which I thought was quite interesting, and then slightly more models over observations in terms of the minority that's left. I asked, for your work that you do, is there valuable, crucial data that's missing so it makes it really hard or unable for you to do your work? I found this normal distribution very interesting, and I imagine there's quite a few people that are like, well, I've got the data that I need. I mean, it's not ideal, but I can do my research. I can do my PhD. But then you've got the middle half being like, oh, but it would be really great if I could actually have this, this and this, and my research or my work would be so much better if I had that. And then you've got the right-hand side which is like, yeah, I'm really struggling, actually. I need this information, and it would be so much better if I had this information. So I really thought this normal distribution maybe looks a bit boring, because there's a lot to unpick, I assume to unpick from that, from my distribution. And then we also asked, what resolution of your data is it satisfactory? Are you able to do your work, do your research? I found this very interesting because we had spatial resolution, is that satisfactory, and temporal resolution satisfactory? And it was very different. I don't know, I was like maybe a bit naïve here, but yeah, many more of you said that no, the spatial resolution is just not satisfactory for what I really want to do in my work and my research. And then maybe quite obviously when we asked, well, are there any variables, metrics, data that you'd really want to use, but you can't, maybe quite obviously over 50% of you said, yes, there are, there's more data I want to have a play with. So we then asked, what's the reason for why you can't use that data? Is it that it doesn't exist? Is it that you're having data access issues, it's not open access, or it's behind paywalls, or it's just not open to the public or institutions? Is it the fact that spatial resolution is not good enough? Is it that the temporal resolution is not good enough? And we have it roughly equal, but a little bit more on just the spatial resolution is not there for what you need, and that reflects the earlier question and responses as well. We then asked, you know, if yes, which variables would you be interested in? And so I tried to, this is obviously just a subset of the responses, but I tried to group them into, if you said they didn't exist, well, here's what I, as a person, as a respondent, I can't find, I can't find data on this. The ones that are not open access you've got. There's a mistake here, sorry, there's soil moisture is put in twice. All the orange one, I just mislabeled it, so sorry about that. Ones that you couldn't find on spatial resolution, several people said precipitation, I just listed it there once. And then temporal resolution, we had long term data sets and these kinds of issues. For those of you that haven't done the survey yet, I'd really encourage you to get down to this point and start filling in this information. It's really useful and valuable for us. You can get off a prize. I'm not sure I can commit to this. For those that have seen the survey already, we had a sort of bottom third of questions which were actually related specifically to the IPCC. I'm not going to show you the overview of the responses to that because we don't really have enough time. But I did ask what type of research gaps with respect to your research do you think there are and what would be valuable for the IPCC. And so I think this is mirroring very much the expertise in the room and when we were doing our introductions we were seeing these kinds of themes emerging in terms of research gaps and what would really help produce more actionable information to help decision makers. So we had extremes in agricultural research, regional sea level and coastal issues, precipitation and clouds and the feedback associated with those. There was cross-sectional issues like climate change and health, climate change and development, climate change and conflict, much more integrating and developing risk into frameworks and more about methods as well, like more fine resolution, long-term observations, better model understanding, reducing uncertainty. And so that was a real whistle-stop tour of what so far we've had from you guys and hopefully we'll be able to build on that even more by the end of the week. But I thought this also would be helpful now that we're going to go into smaller group discussions for you to understand the wider group kind of viewpoint when you start now focusing on to specific topics that you'll discuss about. And now I'm going to hand over to Elvira to introduce the world café. Thank you. I think you've been hearing from us quite a lot this morning, so now it's your turn to take to the floor a bit more. We're going to have a world café for the rest of the afternoon. Actually, if you know what a world café is and you've participated in one before, can you just put your hand up and get an idea? So not many of you. Okay, so basically a world café it's a structured conversational process for knowledge sharing. So what we're going to do is we're going to break you into smaller groups and we're going to have three sessions. So I've put the agenda here with the I'm not quite sure how we're sticking to the timings, but essentially we're going to have oops, I should go on this one. We're going to have three half-hour sessions of the world café. The idea of this is it will provide you with an informal environment. You'll be in smaller groups, so please feel brave about speaking up and sharing your ideas. It will be less intimidating because you'll be there with your peers. And the ideas are gathered by groups. So as each group moves to a table, the ideas in the previous group will be there and you can add to them, subtract to them, build on them. So what we have is we have essentially five tables here. We've got three tables focused on specific regions, so Africa, Asia, Central and South America and Small Islands, and then two cross-cutting tables, one on adaptation and one around broader concepts, including loss and damage. Each of these tables will have a set of questions and we want you to visit three tables throughout the afternoon, so you can visit three regional tables, or you can go to two regional and cross-cutting, et cetera, so it's really up to you to visit those tables, self-select. Each table will also have a host, and that host is there to assist the process, but also they'll do a handover and a new group comes in. They'll do the handover and explain the thoughts of the previous group to you. You will find, post it notes, there'll be paper, so when you have an idea, write it down, put it on the table, I think we've got whiteboards as well, so you can put it on the whiteboards, and as the ideas build up, you can start to look for commonalities, maybe you can group them, or arrange what the previous group had there, so the conversations are progressive, you're building on these subsequent sessions. I was going to say there'll also be a virtual table that Sarah will be running for the people online, you'll stay on the Zoom and you will sort of virtually switch between three sessions. So the questions for the regional tables. Sorry, I haven't updated the slides, but just to say that Isidine will be hosting the Africa table. Stand up. I'll be hosting the Asia table and Erica will be hosting the Central, South America and Small Islands table. We have three questions we'd ask you to consider around research priorities regarding climate change, impact risks and adaptation. Sorry, online people, just to repeat that the Africa table is not restricted to people only from Africa, right? It's open to everyone, it's just if you have an interest, it's not exclusive. Sorry, thanks. No. So we've got three questions for you around research priorities, sort of thinking about what the climatic and other metrics are and how information could be shared across the region. And then for the two cross-cutting tables we've got the first ones about planning and implementation of adaptations, so what are the priorities for research to inform equitable adaptation planning and implementation across sectors. And then the third one is focused on addressing loss and damage and ways to consider equity. So really sort of pushing you to try and think outside your own research. And as Sarah has just said that there are five tables, please visit three of them in any order and any of those three tables is completely up to you. And yeah, virtual participants will stay online. So that's it. And we are going to move down to the up... Down to where we had lunch. Up... Which floor are we on? We're going to move up one floor to where we had lunch. We'll make use of the tables there. Just give us a couple of minutes to gather the materials together. And the hosts will have a nice big sign to hold up so you can go. And we will do the first session have... I was going to say tea break but it's coffee break as we're in Italy. And then we'll do the next two sessions. And for the online one we are going to organise some breakout group online. So you will get the... OK, Sarah will explain to you directly from this room. Could I ask the online people to sign up in the chat who is willing to participate to this World Café format interaction. Just put a yes online if you're interested to participate.
