Report on Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Nature-based Insurance Solutions in the Philippines and Asia
This study aims to explore how Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA) and Nature-Based Insurance Solutions (NbIS)
can effectively mitigate the impacts of climate-related hazards in the Philippines and in the region. It delves into
understanding the policy landscape, examining market practices through case studies, identifying challenges in
the sector, and proposing steps to scale EbA and NbIS solutions in the country.
Climate Change, Human Mobility and Conflicts: The Role of Local Knowledge for Policy-Making. A case study in Moyale-Moyale
The study “Climate Change, Mobility and Conflict Nexus: The Role of Local Knowledge and Practices for Policy-Making”, made in collaboration with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), delves into the intricate interplay between climate change, human mobility, and conflict dynamics in the Moyale-Moyale Borderlands, a region spanning northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. Through extensive engagement with local communities and governmental bodies, the research explores various dimensions of this nexus. It investigates the evolution of conflicts, from traditional practices to contemporary dynamics, and assesses policies and practices aimed at conflict mitigation in the face of climate change and human mobility challenges. Additionally, the study delves into the roles of indigenous knowledge, gender dynamics, and land use policies, aiming to inform decision-making and interventions to foster resilience and peacebuilding in pastoralist communities.
Gender and Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change: Insights from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States
The study “Gender and Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change: Insights from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States” provides an overview of the gender-related challenges and opportunities in the context of Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change in the Easter Caribbean. It illustrates stories with a diverse view on gender in the above-named relation. The study also suggests recommendations on how to better integrate gender dimensions into Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change-related work including suggestions on how to include gender in national regional and international policy advice.
Financing Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change: Insights from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States
The study “Financing Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change: Insights from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States” analyses options, modes, and instruments of financing HMCCC related projects in the Eastern Caribbean including public and private sector, donors, development partner and banks. Based on this analysis, concrete recommendations on funding options for HMCCC projects including outreach strategy, conditions of application, eligibility, and timeline have been developed.
Dimensions of Gender and Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change (HMCCC)
„Gender influences who moves (or stays), how decisions are made, an individual’s circumstances in transit, and the outcomes of movement“ (Sierra Club & UN Women, 2018, p. 2). This quote shows that the nexus between climate change and human mobility is inherently gendered. Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change differs based on intersections of gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation and gender identity, geographical location and ethnicity. Read more about examples from the Global Programme’s partners from the Philippines, the Caribbean, the Pacific and East Africa.
Financing Adaptation in Zambia – Suggestions based on the AGRICA Climate Risk Analysis
Building on the estimated financing needs for the adaptation measures prioritized within the AGRICA Climate Risk Analysis in Zambia, this study discusses suitable financing options with the overall aim of bringing resilience goals closer to implementation.
Climate and Disaster Risk Financing in Zambia – a Protection Gap Analysis
This study serves as a basis for developing a Climate and Disaster Risk Financing Strategy for Zambia. It quantifies Zambia’s “protection gap” by comparing expected economic impacts from floods and droughts to the extent currently covered by available pre-arranged financial mechanisms.
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.
