Climate Change Community

Apart from a knowledge management strategy for the climate change community, a communication strategy should likewise be implemented. However, this would be a communication strategy like no other. This chapter provides the rationale for the design of such a strategy based on the unique requirements of the climate change community. It gives an overview of existing initiatives that may contribute to the overall strategy. It reviews the information needs of climate change stakeholders analyzed in Chapter 5 and proposed a three-pronged strategy to fulfill these needs. Finally, it describes a grassroots social mobilization program for vulnerable communities.

Change Response

The preceding chapters present a systematic argument for those within the climate change community to explore opportunities for interventions that would increase knowledge, change attitudes for the better, and lead to the practice of climate change adaptation. However, exploring these opportunities should be guided by a framework. In this chapter, we propose one such framework, a knowledge management strategy for climate change adaptation. This knowledge management strategy does not only belong under the cognitive domain as argued in Chapter 3. In fact, it straddles all three domains since the affective and psychomotor domains are also influenced by knowledge. Its major assumption is that climate change response (knowledge, attitudes, and practice) can be increased and enhanced through knowledge sharing and reuse.

Just like any other country in the world, Zimbabwe is vulnerable to climate change because of its position in a semi-arid exposed temperature variations among other vulnerabilities. The paper draws on various definitions, studies, policies and frameworks for knowledge management as the basis for recommending knowledge management strategy for climate change adaptation to enhance urban farming in Harare. It seeks to build on the existing knowledge management strategies for climate change adaptation to enhance urban farming in Harare. Currently, knowledge management strategies for climate change adaptation among selected environmental organisations and libraries in Zimbabwe are not being leveraged to actualise national development goals, however this paper seeks to examine these strategies in order to support urban farming. A well-coordinated national knowledge management strategy for climate change adaptation can contribute towards sustainable urban farming. The paper seeks to recommend knowledge management strategy for climate change adaptation among urban farmers in Harare.

The intranet is a common feature in many organizations. With the increasing use of a technology infrastructure in organizations, there is a continued challenge for employees in an organization to contribute their knowledge willingly and to make use of knowledge sharing with other employees. Intranets are well-suited for use as a strategic tool in knowledge sharing due to their ability to support the distribution, connectivity and publishing of data and information. Intranets should be seen as integral to an organization’s knowledge management strategy and should be tailored to suit and enhance an organization’s knowledge-sharing activities. The question arises: To what extent does an organization’s existing intranet facilitate knowledge sharing? From a practitioner-based inquiry perspective, this question was explored by the selection of a large organization – eThekwini Municipality, Durban, South Africa – as the field of application. Derived from a mixed methodology approach, the results of a survey are presented. It is suggested that encouragement be given for more practitioner-based inquiry research.
