Program of IDRC's Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) inviting combined research and capacity building proposals that address the vulnerabilities of Africa’s urban centres to climate change.
Research to understand and quantify the drought risk that Andhra Pradesh faces to help the state adapt to climate change by integrating issues of climate variability into economic planning.
Study of the benefits and costs of disaster risk reduction across a series of case areas in India, Nepal and Pakistan, focusing on water related disasters and the manner in which they may change as a consequence of climate change.
Supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, 'the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network aims to catalyze attention, funding, and action on building climate change resilience for poor and vulnerable people by creating robust models and methodologies for assessing and addressing risk through active engagement and analysis of various cities'.
A Primer on Reducing Vulnerabilities to Climate Change Impacts and Strengthening Disaster Risk Management in East Asian Cities
Program led by the "global change SysTem for Analysis, Research, and Training" (START) to develop adaptive capacity for climate change in Asia’s coastal megacities.
This report discusses a spectrum of human rights concerns raised by anthropogenic climate change and by the strategies devised to address it. It does not seek to reframe climate change as a “human rights issue” or to buttress the many existing grounds for urgent cuts in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with human rights rationale. Rather, it pinpoints areas where climate change will have direct and indirect human rights impacts, and where human rights principles might sharpen policy-making on climate change, including in the two core policy areas of adaptation (preparing for the unavoidable and foreseeable effects of climate change) and mitigation (reducing GHG emissions in order to curb climate change).
In this report GECHS, in collaboration with several leading institutions within the climate change community, analyzes recent literatures on the human dimensions of climate change and the risk perspective. Recognition of the threats to human security associated with climate change has generated growing interest in the relationship between disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. There is an intuitive understanding that the two are closely linked, yet it has been difficult to elaborate a common framework for addressing disaster risk in the context of climate change.
