Capacity Building
Engaging and building capacity with stakeholders is central to building consensus to take meaningful action on climate change.
The majority of Aether’s projects involve a significant stakeholder engagement process to allow us to understand the specific needs and drivers of any given project and to collect, compile and prioritise key elements for action. As well as making sure we collect the most relevant information, the stakeholder engagement process also offers the opportunity to build capacity within national and sub-national organisations, to build an understanding of the technical subject matter and narrative around climate change action. We offer the technical expertise and facilitation skills to ensure that these processes are robust and efficient.

Building local technical knowledge and experience
Compiling a national greenhouse gas inventory is essential for a country to understand its emissions sources; for many countries it is an activity that they have only recently started undertaking. Capacity building training is an important way of supporting these national compilation teams in establishing a high quality inventory. Aether has a broad range of experienced inventory experts skilled in mentoring and knowledge sharing; we have conducted capacity building training for a range of stakeholders and numbers of participants, from small inventory teams to large scale capacity building projects with over 50 participants, including academics and government officials.
Training and mentoring
Aether provides tailored training programmes, building on any pre-existing training and experience, with material covering both sector-specific and cross-cutting inventory topics. Training sessions can be adapted to be an appropriate level to both technical and non-technical audiences, which is critical in promoting the importance of the inventory to key stakeholders such as data providers.
As part of the capacity building training programme, sector experts from Aether provide mentoring to national counterparts in the inventory team, working collaboratively to produce an inventory. This mentoring approach enables the inventory team to learn in a practical manner and supports them in taking ownership of the national inventory. Aether delivers in-country, virtual and flexible hybrid capacity building programs; the latter becoming increasingly essential as the global health crisis continues.
