DESCRIPTION:Dr. A.H. Peter Castro Climate Change: Some Perspectives from Ea
 st Africa Global climate change poses one of the greatest challenges confr
 onting humanity in the 21st century. Major negotiations\, planning efforts
 \, investments\, and programs are currently underway. There is the danger 
 that these efforts will over-emphasize technical and financial approaches 
 that may serve to further exacerbate problems faced by highly vulnerable a
 nd marginalized populations. This presentation will examine responses to i
 ncreased climatic uncertainty among rural communities in eastern Amhara Re
 gion in Ethiopia\, and West Darfur State in Sudan. It stresses the importa
 nce of recognizing and respecting local knowledge\, capacities\, interests
 \, and\, crucially\, rights. In addition\, efforts to address climate chan
 ge need to be cognizant of the broader range of livelihood issues and chal
 lenges facing communities. Dr. Castro is an applied cultural anthropologis
 t with research interests in the fields of rural development planning\, na
 tural resource management\, agriculture\, conflict management\, rural soci
 oeconomic change\, and the history of applied anthropology. Most of his fi
 eldwork experience is in East Africa – Ethiopia\, Kenya\, and Somalia. Dr.
  Castro has worked with the BASIS Greater Horn of Africa Collaborative Res
 earch Support Program\, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (
 FAO)\, CARE\, US Agency for International Development and UNDP in various 
 capacities.
