New research reveals that reviving ancient water systems - which pre-date the Incan Empire - could save wet season water for Peru's dry season.
An analysis of satellite data has revealed global patterns of extreme rainfall, which could lead to better forecasts and more accurate climate models. The study provides a 'baseline' for climate change studies meaning that scientists are able to gain new insights into changes that may be caused by global warming.
A new study found that climate risks are increasing the cost of capital for developing countries, where every ten dollars these countries pay in interest payments, an additional dollar is due to climate vulnerability. Additional interest costs are set to rise to between $146bn and $168bn over the next decade, and could exacerbate the existing economic challenges.
This report represents the first systematic effort to assess the relationship between climate vulnerability, sovereign credit profiles, and the cost of capital in developing countries.
Climate change could lead to hundreds of millions of people being at risk of hunger by the middle of this century. This is in addition to the billion or so currently at risk.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered 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.
