This paper summarizes the immediate outputs and outcomes of a multi-stakeholder dialogue process that was initiated in 2020 and supported by a hydro-economic analysis. It focused on improving understanding of the economic implications of water resources management in the Western Cape Water Supply System (WCWSS) for the Western Cape and strengthening rel…
The NDPBA includes a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) which examines several components of risk including hazard exposures, vulnerability, and coping capacity. These findings are further reviewed through the lens of PDC’s unique Disaster Management Analysis (DMA). The DMA contextualizes the RVA and guides recommendations designed to increas…
Climate resilience and adaptation are intrinsically linked to development. This makes it challenging to accurately estimate adaptation finance in development operations. In response to this challenge, the joint MDB Working Group on Climate Finance Tracking developed a common adaptation finance tracking methodology in 2012. This common methodology has be…
The paper builds on CASCADES research which examines the impacts of climate change on trade, investments, sustainable development and human security in the European neighbourhood, with a view to inform European policies and improve interregional cooperation. The scenarios presented in this paper have been co-developed with 30 experts from the region, re…
Vanuatu's updated and enhanced nationally determined contribution contains 20 Mitigation commitments, 116 Adaptation commitments, 12 Loss & Damage commitments and is based on the ambitions, policies and workplans of the country's frontline sector agencies.Vanuatu has prioritised transformative adaptation action in its National Climate Change and Dis…
In its update to its nationally determined contribution (NDC), Tuvalu commits to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity (power) sector by 100%, i.e., almost zero emissions by 2030; increase the nergy efficiency in Funafuti by 30%; an indicative quantified economy-wide target to reduce total GHG emissions from the entire energy se…
In order to implement the decisions and deployments of the CCP Central Committee and the State Council, strengthen China’s actions and initiatives for adapting to climate change, and improve its ability to prevent and defend against climate risk, this strategy puts forward the guiding ideology, basic principles, and main objectives of China’s adaptation…
This revised and enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the UNFCCC Paris Agreement builds on Timor-Leste’s original NDC and further articulates national intentions to integrate climate risk management into all sectoral policies, planning processes, implementation strategies and investments in an effort to insulate national well-being from…
This plan is the Community Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Plan for the community of Hagley Gap. It is one of several CDRM and CCA Plans that support the formation of the Zonal Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Committees/Plans for St. Thomas. The Hagley Gap Disaster Risk Management and Climate Cha…
This plan is the Community Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Plan for the community of New River. It is one of several CDRM and CCA Plans that support the formation of the Zonal Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Committees/Plans for St. Elizabeth. The New River Disaster Risk Management and Climate Ch…
This plan is the Community Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Plan for the community of Porus. It is one of several CDRM and CCA Plans that support the formation of the Zonal Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Committees/Plans for Manchester. The Porus Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adapta…
The authors developed a step-wise, bottom-up approach, in which a range of qualitative and semi-quantitative methods was used iteratively to reconstruct interactions and feedback loops between risk components and impacts of consecutive drought-to-flood events, and explore their spatiotemporal variations. Within this approach, they conceptualize disaster…
In this article, the authors include the impact of the factors of the seasonality of flood drivers and their mutual dependence in a computationally efficient probabilistic framework for flood risk calculation, using Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) as a case study. HCMC can be flooded subannually by high tide, rainfall, and storm surge events or a combination th…
This note presents examples of results chains for project teams working on disaster risk management (DRM)-related operations to obtain the gender tag with a focus on exposure and vulnerability, preparedness and coping capacity. Details about key policy documents on gender equality and gender-based viollence (GBV), gender gaps in DRM national-level polic…
