Singapore is a low-lying, densely-populated tropical island city-state. The country is vulnerable to the effects of climate change and variability. While natural climate variability may have played a part in these recent events, extreme conditions are likely to become more intense and frequent due to climate change. It is therefore important for Singapo…
In this brief, the World Food Programme (WFP) is introducing its flagship integrated climate-risk management approach, the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative (R4), to address both the climatic and non-climatic drivers of vulnerability in Haiti.
WFP Haiti is combining a set of integrated risk management strategies, including access to microinsurance, as wel…
