Climate change realities in Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean
This report aims at making the case for developing and implementing a comprehensive, structured approach at the local, national, regional and international levels to deal with residual risk associated with climate-related events. The report focuses on the Caribbean region with a special emphasis on Grenada, which illustrates the consequences and the responses to deal with climate risk arising from climate change-related extreme events and slow onset changes through concrete case studies.
Post-Pam: lessons learned for [German] development cooperation in Vanuatu and the Pacific
Tropical Cyclone Pam has been recognised as an opportunity to learn lessons and draw up recommendations for [German] development cooperation and its partners in the region on how to address the issue of comprehensive climate risk management, including climate risk insurance. The objectives of this study were to identify those lessons in order to inform Germany’s current and future regional cooperation in Vanuatu and the South Pacific region. The study gives an overview of socio-economic characteristics, disaster risk, and CRM institutions and programmes in Vanuatu and the region.
Cost and Benefits of Ecosystem Based Adaptation: The Case of the Philippines
This report will build upon the previous scoping study (Ecosystems Based Adaptation: Knowledge Gaps in Making an Economic Case for Investing in Nature Based Solutions for Climate Change (Rizvi et al., 2015)) and will assess the importance of nature based solutions to address climate risks and identify knowledge gaps in economic data from the field in the Philippines. The purpose of this study is to “increase understanding of the economic effectiveness of ecosystems based approaches and provide additional important information that would assist decision making at the local, national and global levels.”
