The main disaster events resulting in significant impacts over the past 20 years. 2. Existing legislation, institutional arrangements and government programmes to deliver and finance disaster preparedness, disaster response and socia…
This climate change profile is designed to help integrate climate actions into development activities. It complements the publication ‘Climate-smart = Future-Proof! – Guidelines for Integrating climate-smart actions into development policies and activities’ and provides answers to some of the questions that are raised in the step-by-step approach in the…
This publication investigates the integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS)-based climate services in seasonal climate forecasting. The success of anticipatory action (AA) in climate change related disaster risk reduction depends largely on the ability to accurately predict adverse weather events and to subsequently take appropriate and timely a…

This study investigates the intricate nexus between climate change, conflicts, and human mobility in the Moyale-Moyale Borderlands and in most cross-border pastoral areas in the region. The Moyale-Moyale Borderlands, situated between northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia, represent a unique confluence of challenges associated with climate change, human m…
This paper uses data from 2003–19 on 2.47 million test takers of a national high stakes university entrance exam in Ethiopia to study the impacts of temperature on learning outcomes. It finds that high temperatures during the school year leading up to the exam reduce test scores, controlling for temperatures when the exam is taken. The results sugg…
This article examines how community-based participatory planning (CBPP) contributes to the cohesiveness of the vulnerable groups and harnesses local capacities in building social capital. The article is underpinned by the community capital framework in understanding the nexus between participatory planning and social capital.Primary evidence is drawn fr…
This study serves as a basis for developing a Climate and Disaster Risk Financing Strategy for Zambia, which is a plan that outlines how to best arrange various financial instruments/mechanisms to cover economic impacts of climate and disaster events. The study quantifies Zambia’s “protection gap” by comparing expected economic impacts from floods and d…
Ethiopia’s early warning systems, developed over a 50-year span, faced challenges such as fragmentation, inadequate funding, and a lack of proactive measures. The focus on crisis management, rather than anticipatory actions, led to inefficient resource allocation. To address these issues, the Ethiopian Disaster Risk Management Commission (EDRMC) and sta…
Cette étude, initiée par le Secrétariat Permanent du Conseil National pour le Développement Durable (SP/CNDD) et conduite dans la région du Plateau Central du Burkina Faso, est une première mise en œuvre de l’approche régionale. Il s’agit d’identifier les risques climatiques ainsi que les secteurs prioritaires, les moyens de subsistance et les populatio…
This report outlines current gaps and key policy options available to bridge the gap between available disaster loss data and what is needed to translate them into anticipatory action. Disaster risk managers use impact data for multiple purposes, but until recently there has been little focus on the usefulness of impact data for anticipatory action.Anti…
