The world today is more unpredictable and uncontrollable than ever before. Climate change and globalisation is the major drivers of this situation.

It looks at how to balance between producing food, managing natural resources, dealing with uncertainty and providing livelihood base for the rural population. It will also look at the role and involvement of public, private and civil stakeholders in developing and strengthening community-based livelihoods management and disaster preparedness and response mechanisms.
