CBA-X is a shared online resource designed to bring together and grow the CBA community. It provides a site for the exchange of up-to-date information about community-based adaptation, including news, events, case-studies, tools, policy resources, and videos.
The Climate Change Adaptation Program (CCAP) is a major research focus of the Global Cities Institute (GCI) at RMIT University. General information about the program and activities being undertaken can be found on the RMIT GCI-CCAP website (see link in list below). Here you will find a range of working files, materials and resources on CCA used by researchers involved.

This paper describes how urban centers in low- and middle-income countries concentrate a large proportion of those most at risk from the effects of climate change. The paper also develops an operational tool - an asset adaptation framework - that serves to highlight the measures and interventions needed to address not only long-term protection from climate change, but also to support low-income households and communities to cope with extreme-weather related disasters during pre-disaster damage limitation, immediate post-disaster responses and rebuilding.
A guide developed to help decision-makers in local, regional, or state government prepare for climate change by recommending a detailed, easy-to-understand process for climate change preparedness based on familiar resources and tools.
The NCSP was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to provide country needs-driven technical and policy support for the preparation of Second, Initial or Third, as appropriate, National Communications (SNCs) from Parties not included in Annex I (NAI Parties) to the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Launched in June 2006, the NCSP has provided assistance to NAI Parties through a variety of support activities: analyses on the priority needs for assistance, organisation of initiation workshops and thematic training workshops, guidance on the design, planning and implementation of technical studies, development of guidance documents, and technical backstopping.
The Adaptation Fund has been established by the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries that are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol. The Fund will be financed with 2% of the Certified Emission Reduction (CERs) issued for projects of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and with funds from other sources.
