The Summer Olympic Games in 2024 will take place during the apex of the temperature seasonal cycle in the Paris Area. The mid-latitudes of the Northern hemisphere have witnessed a f…
This profile aims to give insight in the climate change effects and impacts in Mozambique, with particular attention for food security and water. It also sheds light on the policies, priorities and commitments of the government in responding to climate change and important climate-relevant activities that are being implemented, including activities bein…
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 updates the original Current and future climate of Tuvalu brochure published in 2011. The information in this publication, and research conducted by PACCSAP, builds on the findings of the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, and uses new emissions scenarios and climate models. This brochure contains a summary of climate projections for Tu…
This study provides a comprehensive climate risk analysis for Uganda’s agricultural sector. It aims to offer an in-depth decision-basis for national and local decision-makers on current and future climate risks for agricultural value chains to guide suitable adaptation planning and implementation in the country.The results of this climate risk analysis…
This Pacific Risk Profile is a snapshot of climate and disaster risk information that is collected from credible open data sources. It is intended to provide Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade program managers and implementing partners with easy access to essential risk information.This profile gives an overview of Vanuatu's geographic and socioeco…
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 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…
Funding to support developing countries taking action on climate change and responding to reduce exposure to disaster risk is projected to dramatically increase in the coming years. However, this increase in opportunities is being matched by an equally dramatic increase in complexity for access. The range of sources, each with their own set of rules and…
Climate risk continues to be framed ostensibly in terms of physical, socio-economic and/or ecological risks, as evidenced in the 2012 and 2017 UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) evidence reports. This article argues that framing climate risk in this way remains problematic for the science-policy process, particularly in ensuring adequate climate r…
This study investigates the possible effects of climate change on temperature and precipitation variables in the Eastern Black Sea Basin, Türkiye’s wettest and flood-prone region. The outputs of three General circulation models (GCMs) under historical, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios were downscaled to regional scale using the multivariate adaptive regress…
The report provides descriptions and analysis of climate conditions and variations from across the Earth system, key events and their impacts, and a discussion of climate policy and action with a focus on human health. The ESOTC also includes updates on the long-term evolution of key Climate Indicators. In 2023, the impacts of climate change continued t…
This Regional Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2023: Europe and Central Asia proposes that three broad, interconnected risk drivers characterize the complexity of managing risk in the region: climate change and environmental degradation; interconnected and complex economies, societies and infrastructure; and changing demographics. These…
This publication defines Climate risk as a concept and describes how, to what extent and why climate change or climate-related extreme events could bring harm to human or ecological systems or functions. Climate risks are strongly related, but not identical, to climate impacts. Climate impacts describe any type of consequences of extreme weather events…
