Mission
CCIAM has been involved in several projects in the domains of climate change impact assessment, adaptation and mitigation strategies and development of downscaled climate scenarios. The group brings together scientists from several disciplines who conduct trans-disciplinary research on both a national and international level.
The group’s objectives fall within five main domains:
- Impacts assessment: to conduct pioneering research on climate change impacts at local, national, and international levels on water resources, coastal zones, forests, biodiversity, agriculture, public health, tourism, energy demand, and transports;
- Adaptation: to contribute towards national and global research on adaptation to climate change;
- Networking: to establish national and international networks in our research areas;
- Dissemination: to disseminate information on climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation to stakeholders at all levels.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
