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.
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.
Integrating Gender Considerations into Different Models of Climate Risk Insurance (CRI)
Gender-responsive Climate Risk Insurance (CRI) schemes can provide risk protection that addresses differences in women and men’s vulnerability to both climate risks, and disaster-induced wellbeing loss. This study explores the case for integrating gender and a focus on women into different CRI schemes and provider types at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels.
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.
