Diving into the gap: Gender dimensions of Climate Risk Management
This study gives insight into the specific areas in which women and girls suffer significantly higher losses and damages than men. Furthermore, it explores how social norms create and exacerbate these vulnerabilities to climate change.
Home Lands: Island and Archipelagic States’ Policymaking for Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change (Executive Summary)
This report provides an overview of how human mobility in the context of climate change (HMCCC) fits into the policy landscape of nine island and archipelagic countries: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, and St. Lucia in the Eastern Caribbean; Fiji, Kiribati, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu in the South Pacific; and the Philippines in the Western Pacific. All of these nations are heavily affected by climate impacts like sea level rise, ocean acidification, tropical cyclones and hydrological extremes.

Climate Change Impacts on Human (Im-) Mobility in Sub-Saharan Africa. Recent Trends and Options for Policy Responses.
This study examines the negative effects of climate change and how they relate to human mobility in designated countries located in East, West and Southern Africa.
Common Ground between the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework: Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction
The study “Common Ground between the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework: Climate Change adaptation and disaster risk reduction” examines challenges and potentials for a coherent implementation of climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) across levels of government and sectors.
Analysing Stakeholder Needs for Enhancing Climate and Disaster Risk Data
This study provides an overview of data, modelling and analytics in the context of disaster risk finance through the lens of a stakeholder analysis in order to identify supply- or demand-side gaps. It supports the InsuResilience Global Partnership (‘the Partnership’) as a point of departure to address these gaps, and to improve data production, access and application for better climate and disaster risk management and to assist with developing risk financing solution.
Visioning Futures: Improving Infrastructure Planning to Harness Nature’s Benefits in a Warming World
This WWF report, with support from GIZ, outlines a new planning approach integrating considerations of natural capital and ecosystem services, climate risks and resilience, and sustainable development needs to support social-ecological system scale planning.
Evaluación de impactos de la Adaptación basada en Ecosistemas en Miraflores, Perú
Esta visión general de la investigación resume los mensajes clave obtenidos de un estudio de caso sobre AbE en los Andes peruanos durante el proyecto AbE Montaña en Miraflores, que tenía como objetivo mejorar la gestión de los recursos naturales en los pastos y humedales locales de montaña con un enfoque en organización comunitaria. La autora muestra cómo se pueden utilizar varios indicadores y marcos de monitoreo para mostrar la eficacia de AbE.
Climate Risk Profile: Ghana
It provides a snapshot of projected climate parameters and related impacts on key sectors in Ghana until 2080 under different climate change scenarios. Thereby, it builds on state-of-the-art modelling of the latest climate data and makes main findings accessible to non-experts and decision-makers through easy-to-read graphs and texts.
Climate Risk Analysis for Identifying and Weighing Adaptation Strategies in Ghana’s Agricultural Sector
The study focuses on evolving trends for temperature and precipitation, future water availability and the country’s suitability to grow crops. The study’s projections go up to 2090, offering opportunities not only to look into short-term trends (2030), but also to take into account -with great precision- medium (2050) and long-term climate change impacts. In addition, the study undertakes a cost-benefit analysis of selected adaptation options on which basis “business cases” for adaptation can be identified.
