Climate
Change

is one of the greatest challenges of our time

People and states worldwide are already affected by its destructive impacts. Especially developing countries are vulnerable to global warming and its consequences. With the adoption of the Paris Agreement, its global goal on adaptation has been set as an indispensable component of climate action equal to mitigation.

CRAMSE

The impacts associated with slow onset processes (e.g. sea level rise, desertification) and extreme weather events (e.g. floods, cyclones, heatwaves) are increasasing in frequency and intensity, resulting in growing climate-related risks. This highlights the urgent need for Climate Risk Assessments (CRA) which help to identify solutions for an effective management of risks. The CRA-Method Search Engine “CRAMSE” aims to support practitioners in identifying Climate Risk Assessment methods that fit best for their specific interests.

  • Agroecology aims at transforming agricultural and food systems towards climate resilience and adaptiveness in order to achieve food security for all. 
  • Urban Climate Resilience refers to the ability of an urban system – and its components – to absorb, adapt to, and recover from the various shocks and stresses exacerbated by climate change, while ensuring the well-being of its inhabitants. 
 
  • Private Sector & Adaptation responds to climate-related economical risks and seizes business opportunities in order to safeguard operations, to strategically create sustainable growth and to increase societal resilience. 
  • The National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process aims to integrate adaptation into development planning and to reduce vulnerability to climate change. As the primary national planning process for adaptation, it can support the implementation of NDC adaptation goals. 
  • Mainstreaming of Adaptation systemically includes climate risk and adaptation considerations in decision-making and planning processes. 
  • Climate Services (CS) provide decision-makers with customized ready-to-use climate information and products (forecasts or historical trends) to effectively manage climate risk. 

Climate Change and Migration looks at how extreme weather events and gradual changes impact human mobility: migration, (disaster) displacement, as well as planned relocation.  

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) helps keeping track of the implementation of adaptation measures and assessing their effectiveness and outcomes. The Paris Agreement encourages “M&E and learning from adaptation plans, policies, programmes and actions” (Article 7.9d).

Cities on the Move: Responding to Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change
With many cities serving as migration hotspots, local authorities are not only at the frontlines of reducing risk and responding to but also receiving people who have been displaced. This publication highlights three examples of how cities integrated climate and human mobility in their urban planning....

Agroecology as an Approach to Resilient Agriculture and Food Systems: Lessons Learned and Ways Forward
Numerous overlapping ecological, socio-political, and economic shocks and stresses acting across multiple scales have culminated in a polycrisis that threatens agriculture and food systems worldwide. As primary food producers, smallholder farming communities in the Global South are particularly vulnerable to adverse impacts – such as those caused by climate change,...
