Suggestions for improvement Make sure computers are working Present socio-economic scenarios before climate change scenarios Explain better the technical variables used in the exercise Provide SCENGEN manual prior to the exercise Have a list of existing models and their relevance for countries of the region Use more examples from the Pacific Islands Provide more details about the emission scenarios More people to supervise the exercise Allow more time for the exercise and discussions

5

Suggestions for improvement More trainers and time needed Internet access to allow use of national data Use real case examples Present socio-economic scenarios before climate change scenarios Do not present socio-economic and climate change scenarios the same day Generate "storylines" just for fun Better link the topic to V&A More step by step guidance required

Suggestions for improvement Need for more in-depth training for agriculture experts involved in the 2nd NC Need to better reflect land locked and islands situation Need more time, exercises and explanations of differences between models Need to also cover subsistence agriculture Do not take examples from outside the region (e.g. Egypt) Add more examples, country case studies/presentations on lessons learnt Focus more on responses (adaptation) instead of only vulnerability Linkage to other drivers such as land use plans
