*_Vulnerabilities to Climate Change in Urban areas: A pilot workshop
_*
In this workshop
between  local people, CSOs and analysts,
CED & INECC (Indian Network for Ethics of Climate Change) will
share preliminary findings on critical issues of vulnerability of 
marginal urban communities to climate change.

While seeking to validate, generalise and analyse the finding with these 
three stakeholders, the workshop seeks to bring in more organizations 
and individuals into a larger programme of study and action.

We expect the workshop to begin a process which highlight areas of study 
and intervention in urban Bangalore, and draw linkages with broader 
processes at the Official National and International levels as well as 
Non-governmental/civil society level.  We therefore think it is 
imperative that all stakeholders including local people, NGOs, analysts, 
donors join in the reflection process.

Date & Time:* Saturday 28th May, 2011 10 am to 2 pm. At CED Domlur, 
Bangalore.
RSVP needed.

_By way of background:_
At the Bangalore Platform, which has been discussing the climate change 
issues for over a year now, has been wanting to take up specific action.

INECC(www.inecc.net) is a national forum of CSOs and individuals, who 
have been looking at climate change from the perspectives of the 
marginalized from different eco-regions.. urban being one of them.

CED(www.doccentre.net) has taken up a short-term study that focuses on 
the vulnerability of urban,  marginalised communities to Climate Change 
supported by INECC. Some of the objectives were to study the people's 
perception on the nature of changes in their neighbourhoods and climate; 
the factors responsible for this situation; impact on health; and to 
corroborate people's perceptions with secondary sources.

To reach CED, get to the Airport Road and come up to Domlur.

    * *If you are coming from MG Road / Victoria Road* come to Domlur on
      Airport Road, you will come to Domlur Junction. Look for BWSSB
      Water Tank(large overhead Water tank); take a left just before
      this water tank; take a immediate left again; then a right turn;
      and again a left; at this point the BDA Shopping Complex will be
      on your left.

    * *If you are coming from the direction of the Airport*, there is no
      right turn at the Domlur Bus Depot Junction. Go to the next
      junction and make a Uturn. Immediately after the U turn, take the
      2nd left turn.Then again take the 2nd left turn. (for those who
      know Domlur Bus Depot, it is now behind you).

    * Now keep going straight past BDA Complex,  Sri Raghavendra Temple,
      Sagar Super Market. Follow the road, till you reach a dead end.
      The road turns to the left. There is a tiny traffic island with a
      flagpole. Just beyond this island, the road reaches a small
      dead-end, with the main road turning to the right along a /naala/
      (storm water drain).

    * CED is a largish two-story red brick structure with green windows
      on the right side of the small dead-end.
