Different contexts require different perspectives. Marie-May Esparon from Red Cross Society of Seychelles, H.E. Ole Thonke, Danish Ambassador to Kenya and Irene Amuron from the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre presented theirs:

• Marie-May Esparon from Red Cross Society of Seychelles highlights experiences of the impact of changing climate in Seychelles where local communities are eager to protect the environment. She raised the big question on what needs to be done by humanitarian and development partners to achieve the goal of supporting effective implementation of anticipatory action in Africa.
• H.E. Ole Thonke, Danish Ambassador to Kenya emphasised the need to better prevent food insecurity so as to assist the people in need at the right time. Also important to note is the better optimisation of resources taking into account the frequency of changing weather patterns, gender issues, technological developments, community involvement, closer collaborations, and medium and long-term thinking among all humanitarian and development partners in anticipatory action.
