Comparative Analysis of the Existing Criteria, Principles and Safeguards for the Implementation of Nature-Based Solutions – Background note by IISD and GIZ
IISD and GIZ have developed a background note analyzing two key international standards and guidelines of high relevance for Nature-based solutions. It compares their principles, safeguards, and implementation requirements and shows similarities, differences, and gaps, as well as the interrelationships and commonalities between the two existing international standards.
Economy-Wide Impacts of Climate Change and Adaptation in Mongolia
This report presents the economy-wide impacts of climate change and adaptation in Monbolia conducted for the main climate hazards and for four adaptation measures targeting at agriculture and water management to limit the negative climate change impacts on the economy and people.
Science-Based Planning for Local Climate Adaptation Action: Insights from Sub-National Plans
This brochure presents insights from pilot applications in Bundelkhand (Uttar Pradesh) and Shivalik (Himachal Pradesh), offering recommendations to enhance climate risk assessments at the agroclimatic zone level and strengthen local adaptation strategies for effective implementation of plans.
Science-Based Climate and Crop Models in Policy and Planning: A Baseline Study Report
Under the CAFRI II project, GIZ India collaborated with the Centre of Excellence on Disaster Mitigation and Management (CoEDMM) at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, to develop the Climate-Risk Informed Adaptation Action Assessment (CRIAAA) framework for evaluating the evidence-based approach of sub-national climate plans.
Climate and Disaster Risk Finance: A Mosaic of Instruments
Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) is a long-term agenda that requires political commitment, technical expertise, and strong collaboration between public and private actors. This publication maps the financial instruments and management approaches used across the five phases of CDRFI, while recognising that boundaries between them are often fluid.

Latin American Cooperation on (Agro) Climate Risk Mitigation (CALMA)
“Boosting insurance for climate risks” convened 35 representatives to share experiences on the implementation of rural insurance in their respective countries and discuss opportunities to strengthen regional cooperation on climate adaptation and market development.
Factsheet: Climate Change in Rural Landscapes
Climate change significantly impacts rural areas, affecting both their ecosystems and the livelihoods of residents. Fortunately, there are numerous solutions to promote climate-resilient and low-emission rural landscapes, ensuring food security within planetary boundaries. But how can we realize climate-sensitive rural development, and how does it contribute to transforming our agricultural and food systems? This factsheet explores these interconnections, presents strategic solutions, and illustrates them with practical examples. It underlines that climate-sensitive rural development should advocate for systemic approaches that reduce risks for vulnerable groups and take into account structural factors within the political framework, highlighting that such methods greatly aid in the transformation of agricultural and food systems.
Agroecology: Connecting People, Land, Climate and Biodiversity – Recommendations on the Road to Belém
The outcomes of the 2024 Rio Convention COPs underscore the necessity to enhance and utilize synergies among the Conventions. Agroecology is a promising approach that simultaneously contributes to the goals of the UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD. By adopting a systemic approach to food system transformation based on agroecological principles, countries can achieve multiple socio-ecological and economic benefits while fulfilling their commitments to the Rio Conventions.
Boosting Biodiversity Action Through Agroecology
This report provides guidance on integrating agroecology and food systems into the development of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), aligning with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). It aims to support the implementation of the GBF at the national level, while ensuring coherence with international goals like SDG 2 on sustainable agriculture.
Community-based management of fisheries resources: An approach to sustainable growth
Main waterbodies and fisheries are inherently shared resources that each member of the community is entitled to use equally. Fishing creates jobs and supports the livelihoods of millions of people in rural regions, particularly in Asia and Africa, while also contributing to food and nutrition security. However, unsustainable fishing practices put fish resources under constant pressure. Local communities suffer because of these careless, continuous practices – especially while facing the growing impact of climate change through floods or droughts.
