It provides you with many relevant publications and websites for the nexus of climate change and rural development, including basic concepts, reference documents of the UNFCCC and relevant tools and data bases.
Agroecology: Making Ecosystem-based Adaptation Work in Agricultural Landscapes
This report suggests to link Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) with agroecological approaches to transform our agri-food systems in a climate resilient and nature-friendly way. It outlines three case studies applying the approach in India, Kenya, and Guatemala, providing practical steps to merge agroecology and EbA to adapt agricultural landscapes to climate change.
Market Opportunities for renewable drinking water technology in rural, remote and hard-to-access areas in India
The study focused on rural areas in 8 districts in 4 Indian states, namely, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, was designed to provide a cost-effective and decentralized solution having resilient drinking water source in remote areas.
Livelihood, Resilience and Migration
This qualitative study highlights the interactions between climate change, human mobility and pastoralists’ livelihoods in the border regions of Uganda and Kenya. It provides nuanced perspectives and recommendations on adaptive strategies and the role of both governmental and non-governmental actors in fostering resilience amidst these climatic shifts.
Analyses of socio-economic and environmental effects of agroecological practices – a methodological guidance
Missing scientific evidence for positive economic benefits and environmental effects of agroecology is a major problem hindering its large-scale implementation. To allow for better evidence-based decision making, this publication provides the methodological guidance. It addresses both project implementers and researchers who are in the process of preparing and choosing context-adapted socio-economic analyses and ecosystem services valuations related to agroecology. In this way, it is intended to support future economic studies conducted within agricultural and rural development programmes.
Supporting Climate Resilient Economic Development in Georgia – Application of the e3.ge Model to Analyze the Economy-Wide Impacts of Climate Change Adaptation
This national report on the application of the e3.ge model in Georgia outlines the CRED approach of modelling economy-wide impacts of climate change and adaptation. It a general understanding of macroeconomic models, and the impacts of climate change in Georgia. The report integrates both the economic and climatic dimensions in the e3.ge model and conducts exemplary analyses of adaptation options in the agriculture and tourism/infrastructure sectors.
Supporting Climate Resilient Economic Development in Kazakhstan – Application of the e3.kz Model to Analyze the Economy-Wide Impacts of Climate Change Adaptation
This national report on the application of the e3.kz approach in Kazakhstan outlines the CRED approach of modelling economy-wide impacts of climate change and adaptation. It informs about macroeconomic modelling and climate change impacts in Kazakhstan and combines both dimensions in the e3.kz model. The report also conducts exemplary analyses of adaptation options in the agriculture, energy, and infrastructure sectors.
Global Report: Lessons Learnt from Piloting Macroeconomic Modelling for Climate Resilience
The Global Report evaluates the effectiveness of using climate-sensitive macroeconomic modeling in achieving climate resilience in Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam. The report emphasizes the use of the model-based process for adaptation planning and evidence-based policymaking.
