Climate change is already having serio…
In this study, results of a questionnaire which was used for a previous study and had been administered to participants from Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey were further investigated using statistical methods. The main aim was to understand how demographic factors such as age, gender and education level affect people’s flood risk perception. It was a…
This policy brief examines the impacts of heat waves and drought on women’s food security, economic productivity, and care work, and highlights the alarming occurrence of gender-based and sexual violence during climate-induced challenges. It provides a set of proactive and gender-transformative recommendations for humanitarian and disaster risk reductio…
This case study provides a technical overview of the collaborative process through which the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Fijian Government set up innovative structures to provide cash assistance ahead of anticipated cyclones.In conclusion, the WFP Pacific CO and Fijian Government now have the first AA framework that will reach people before a cyc…
The aim of this report is to investigate the potential for harnessing key features of Transformative Innovation to improve the design and the implementation of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) strategies, based on empirical analyses. The study draws on the conceptual framework on this question previously defined for the JRC (European Commission, 2024), a…
In this study, the authors aimed to assess potential flood hazards in Cyprus stemming from three distinct dam failure scenarios: piping, 100-year rainfall, and probable maximum precipitation (PMP). To achieve this, HEC-HMS hydrologic model findings were integrated into 2D HEC-RAS hydraulic models to simulate flood hydrographs and generate flood inundati…
Analysis to Action provides a practical case study from CARE’s Locally-led Adaptation Pilot in Southern Zambia on how climate risk assessments, designing and implementation of community-driven solutions in a Local Adaptation Plan, and policy advocacy can be sequenced and how practitioners can design adaptation planning processes from analysis to action.…
The WMO State of the Climate in Latin America and the Caribbean 2023 report confirmed that it was by far the warmest year on record. Sea levels continued to rise at a higher rate than the global average around much of the Atlantic region, threatening coastal areas and small island developing States. The State of the Climate in Latin America and the Cari…
The report seeks to provide an overview and insight into how Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK) navigate and manage sea level changes.The study maps the governance arrangements of the three countries without directly comparing or evaluating their efforts.

This volume is intended as a companion to Blue Pacific Continent, Volume I – Primer on Pacific Regional Climate Change Action. Blue Pacific Continent Volume 2 offers an overview of Pacific countries and territories with a focus on government or administration institutions, policies, and plans for disaster risk reduction (DRR) – including disaster manage…
This study shows how WFP’s R4 Rural Resilience Initiative helps farmers manage climate and disaster risks based on evidence gathered from five countries that implement an Integrated Climate Risk Management approach.Results from the study demonstrate more substantial enhancements in farming households that are already comparatively well-off, specifically…
This policy brief summarises new research from the CHAMNHA (Climate, Heat and Maternal and Neonatal Health in Africa) and AWARD-APR (Addressing Extreme Weather Related Diarrheal Disease Risks in Asia Pacific Region) projects funded by the Belmont Forum under the Climate Environment and Health collaborative research action (CEH1). Children will bear the…
The United Nations Senior Leadership Group (UN SLG) on Disaster Risk Reduction endorsed the 2030 UN SLG recommendations, which will guide the UN system-wide support on disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and resilience building until 2030, and complement the commitments made in the UN Plan of Action on DRR for Resilience. The UN SLG…
This publication covers whether oscillation patterns are suitable as an element of AI for the probability of earthquakes. The fluctuating planetary gravitational field influences not only activities on the Sun but also on the Earth. A special correlation function was created and used to describe and test the harmonics of these fluctuations. Groups of ea…
This report is the second in a series of three reports addressing judicial aspects of the struggle to secure justice for climate displaced persons everywhere.
