The information below continues my theme because I cannot see what,  
other than permaculture, can possibly assist these people and  
places.    I know there are maps predicting where the worst will  
be.     Do we have the knowledge for robust permaculture along  
coastal areas and especially deltas eg. Bangladesh?    We certainly  
have good principles for drying climates.    The Africans at IPC8  
want every country to have a PDC and produce trainers and models on  
the ground.     It would be great to support them in this as they  
feel they need it.

  Well over a billion people in 100 countries

face a bleak future. In these nations,

resilience has already been eroded by

entrenched poverty, degraded or threatened

environments and other problems. The

harsher, more frequent natural disasters that

are predicted could tip them over the edge

into chronic famine or forced migration. Yet

these are also the countries that have

contributed least to climate change.
