It assess the macroeconomic impact of the most relevant climate shocks affecting Uruguay´s economy, using the wide availability of country-specific data and background analysis. Using a macrostructural projection model customized to Uruguay (MFMOD UY) and exp…
This report presents the research and action agenda for climate change and mental health for small farmers and fisher peoples. Core to this research was identifying research themes – such as questions on the intersection of mental health and regenerative farming and the mental health impacts of crop loss due to flooding – and emerging intervention areas…
This guide serves as a continuation of the 2022 Guide for Climate Change Journalists and compiles advice and best practices from journalists who have successfully navigated challenges related to climate change reporting: how to capture the attention of an audience saturated with information? How to expand coverage of climate change and nature beyond the…
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 report outlines key lessons from the funding call and indicates possible areas for funders and partners to consider as they conduct their own work at the intersection of climate change and health. We know that health is the human face of climate change. Heatwaves, droughts, floods, and other climate events are putting immense pressure on cities, fo…
XDI has analysed over 200,000 hospitals around the world for risk of damage from 6 different climate change hazards from 1990 until the end of the century. The risk arising from two different emissions scenarios (i) RCP 8.5 (around 4.3 ºC) and RCP 2.6 (1.8 ºC or under) was compared. The analysis was published ahead of the inaugural Health Day at the COP…
The Pakistan National Adaptation Plan (NAP) envisions a climate-resilient Pakistan made up of communities with socioeconomic and environmental adaptive capacities—collaborating to pursue prosperity, promote personal and national wellbeing, and protect their ecosystems through inclusive sustainable approaches.Its goal is to enhance the sustainable develo…
Enhancing urban resilience to climate change is a complex problem. Top-down, linear design, implementation and monitoring programmes are not sufficient. Instead, interventions that work with civil society organisations, policymakers and academics in the co-production of more inclusive representations of urban risk and resilience priorities can more effe…
The Dominican Republic Country Climate and Development Report (CDRR) employs a version of the MANAGE model. This CCDR further extends the model to incorporate the path of emissions from key sectors (transport, energy, AFOLU), and to incorporate DR‑specific climate damage functions to introduce the impact of climate change on the economy. The Dominican R…
This study asks whether Ethiopia's ‘Productive Safety Net Programme’ PSNP’s system of geographical targeting at the start of its fifth phase aligns with this more comprehensive framing of ‘adaptive social protection’. Ethiopia’s flagship ‘Productive Safety Net Programme’ (PSNP) entered its fifth phase of implementation in 2021 with a reorientation of th…

This paper focuses on the role of non-contributive cash transfers to support poor and vulnerable households exposed to new climate t…
This brief shows that scientific literature offers ample evidence that climate change can constitute a real threat to international peace and security. Sixteen years after the first United Nations Security Council debate on climate change and security, there is still no agreement on how the Council should engage with the issue. A major reason for the st…
This paper focuses on the experiences of women in Vanuatu to build a greater understanding of the impacts of climate change on women’s lives in one of the most disaster risk countries in the world. Continuing sea level rises, more intense and frequent cyclones, flooding and landslides are regular occurrences in Vanuatu, challenging the population to ada…
This research engages with experts in the field of flood risk management in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country where the threats and frequency of flooding has increased over the years. An in-depth qualitative case study was conducted with semi-structured interviews used as the primary data collection tool. Understanding and distinguishing the core…
The paper studies the phenomenon of “post disaster reconstruction in” Pakistan in the wake of climate change-induced floods of 2022 from the “precarity and possibility” lenses as a global emergency with the help of qualitative field data collected from the affected communities, IR donors and partners, relief workers from different organisations and thro…
