Climate Risk Analysis for Identifying and Weighing Adaptation Strategies for the Agricultural Sector in Northern Ghana – A Study at District Level in the Upper West Region
The study focuses on evolving trends for temperature and precipitation, future water availability and the suitability to grow crops in three Ghanaian districts in the Upper West Region: Lawra, Sissala East and Wa West. Climate change is already affecting the agricultural sector in northern Ghana and its impacts will continue to increase in the future. This puts livelihoods and economic growth at risk and shows the urgent need for effective adaptation strategies. The aim of the study is to provide a comprehensive climate risk analysis that can guide adaptation planning at the district level.
Toward gender-responsive Ecosystem-based Adaptation: Why it’s needed and how to get there
The purpose of this report is twofold: to illustrate the importance of integrating gender considerations in EbA actions and to provide concrete examples of how this can be done in practice. It is designed for EbA practitioners and adaptation policy-makers, including government decision-makers and technical support staff, civil society organisations, private sector enterprises, and research institutions.
Opportunities for Strengthening Resilience by Integrating Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) in National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Processes
The result of a collaboration between InsuResilience and the NAP GN, a new report examines entry points for CDRFI to enhance national resilience-building efforts through NAPs. It presents an analysis of ways in which existing National Adaptation Plans and those under way have already integrated CDRFI, and suggests ways for both NAP and CDRFI actors to increasingly consider interlinkages in the future.
Oportunidades para reforzar la resiliencia mediante la integración de financiación y seguros contra riesgos climáticos y desastres naturales (CDRFI por sus siglas en inglés) en los procesos del Plan Nacional de Adaptación (PNAD)
El análisis que se presenta en este informe permite comprender mejor las formas en que los países están integrando las soluciones CDRFI en sus esfuerzos por formular y aplicar los Planes Nacionales de Adaptación (PNAD), así como las oportunidades perdidas. El análisis es resultado de la colaboración entre la Red Global de PNAD y la Asociación Global InsuResilience (IGP).
Possibilités de renforcer la résilience en intégrant le financement et l’assurance des risques climatiques et de catastrophes (CDRFI) dans les Plans nationaux d’adaptation (PNA)
L’analyse fournie dans le présent rapport permet de mieux comprendre comment les pays intègrent le CDRFI dans leurs efforts visant à formuler et à mettre en œuvre leur planification de l’adaptation PNA et de déceler les occasions manquées. Cette analyse est le fruit d’une collaboration entre le Réseau mondial de PNA et le Partenariat mondial InsuResilience (IGP).
Green Recovery for Practitioners: Examples from around the World for Building Forward Better
This report from the publication series ‘Green Recovery for Practitioners’ presents a compilation of 23 examples that show how communities, cities and countries have implemented the idea of a green recovery. Covering a wide range of sectors, entry levels and approaches, it draws upon measures and instruments that have been deployed in more than 20 countries, particularly in developing and emerging economies. Each example reflects on the actors involved, the progress made and the lessons learned so far.
Building Resilience With Nature: Ecosystem-based Adaptation in National Adaptation Plan Processes
National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes present a strategic opportunity to raise the profile of EbA approaches, providing a framework—and, potentially, financial resources—for implementation at scale. Based on this , the NAP Global Network undertook a review of 19 NAP documents to better understand the extent to which EbA, as a tool for adaptation, has been taken up in NAP processes. This analysis highlights the extent of integration and identification of ecosystems and EbA into National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), trends in how EbA was incorporated, and opportunities to strengthen the profile and quality of EbA.
Coherence as the process of joint and integrated policy making. Lessons learned from a cross-project collaboration to analyze the implementation of global agendas in Germany.
Publication of a case study at the interface of Sustainable Development, Adaptation to Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management
Integrating EbA and IWRM for climate-resilient water management
This study explores how the two leading approaches in water resources management and ecosystem thinking for climate change adaptation – i.e. IWRM and EbA – can be merged to achieve greater climate resilience in watersheds. It entails a conceptual analysis of both approaches and showcases nine practical implementation examples of integrated EbA-IWRM projects around the world. The case studies reveal structural similarities, key lessons, and enabling and inhibiting factors for integrated EbA-IWRM approaches. From this, the study derives and promotes a set of guiding principles for integrated EbA-IWRM projects.
Climate Change and small-scale fisheries. A case for comprehensive climate risk management
The effects of climate change and increasing extreme weather events on the oceans are key challenges for small-scale fisheries. This study highlights some of the economic as well as non-economic losses and damages associated with these effects.
