Planned Relocation in the Pacific: A Regional Snapshot
Facing the impacts and risks of climate change and disasters, communities and authorities in the Pacific region have initiated planned relocation of people out of harm’s way. Building on a global mapping by the Platform on Disaster Displacement (PDD), this snapshot draws on cases identified in the Pacific region and offers insights on regional specific features of planned relocation.
Groundswell Africa : Internal Climate Migration in the Lake Victoria Basin Countries
This publication builds on the landmark 2018 Groundswell report to examine climate-induced migration in the Lake Victoria Basin to inform policy makers and practitioners about the urgency for near- and farsighted planning, policy, and action as an integral part of the development response. This report uses a quantitative and qualitative understanding of plausible future climate migration scenarios and proposes core policy direction and domains for action to better anticipate and prepare for the issue. It also provides strategic policy responses to guide countries in the Lake Victoria Basin to better anticipate and prepare for the expected 16.6 – 38.5 million internal climate migrants in the Victoria Basin countries by 2020.
Groundswell Africa: Internal Climate Migration in West African Countries
This publication builds on the landmark 2018 Groundswell report to examine climate-induced migration in West Africa to inform policy makers and practitioners about the urgency for near- and farsighted planning, policy, and action as an integral part of the development response.
From Innovation to Learning: A Strategic Evidence Roadmap for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance
This roadmap is a community document, facilitated by the InsuResilience Global Partnership. It builds on the InsuResilience Global Partnership’s Pro-Poor Principles and addresses one of main objectives of InsuResilience Vision 2025 – to increase the evidence base for CDRFI and to move the focus from one of innovation to one of learning.
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.
