- Publication 7 November 2022 Flood management in urban Senegal: an actor-oriented perspective on national and transnational adaptation interventions In Senegal, considerable development assistance has been allocated to addressing the problem of repeated flooding in urban areas, involving changing thematic objectives, from short-term disaster relief to wide-ranging sanitation and drainage programmes. In spite of these numerous flood management interventions, the number of flood victims in Senegal’s urban centres has increased steadily since 1999. This article contributes empirically and conceptually to recent studies highlighting poor…

- Event 4 November 2022 Meet us at COP27 World leaders, experts, organizations and the private sector meet to tackle the urgent threat of global climate change. Together with our partners, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre joins the efforts to prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5C and protect our planet and people from the intensifying impacts of climate change. We will present the latest climate science and the findings of the 2022 Emissions Gap report and Adaptation Gap Report and cover trends, needs, and…
- News 4 November 2022 How to meet the needs for climate technology transfer New research from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre dives deeper into the role of development assistance (ODA) flows in climate mitigation and adaptation technologies. In a new policy brief, the research highlights the climate technology needs of developing countries, as collated through technology needs assessments, and tracks the development finance resources channeled to climate technologies, to conduct analysis and reveal shared insights. Looking at the specific bottlenecks that constrain the…

- News 3 November 2022 Adaptation Gap Report: Adapting to climate change must become a global priority As climate impacts intensify across the globe, nations must dramatically increase funding and implementation of actions designed to help vulnerable nations and communities adapt to the climate storm, according to a new United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report. Released ahead of COP27 – the latest round of climate talks taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt – The Adaptation Gap Report 2022: Too Little, Too Slow – Climate adaptation failure puts world at risk, finds that global…
- Publication 1 November 2022 Heat and health in Antwerp under climate change: Projected impacts and implications for prevention Background Excessive summer heat is a serious environmental health problem in several European cities. Heat-related mortality and morbidity is likely to increase under climate change scenarios without adequate prevention based on locally relevant evidence. Methods We modelled the urban climate of Antwerp for the summer season during the period 1986–2015, and projected summer daily temperatures for two periods, one in the near (2026–2045) and one in the far future (2081–2100), under the…
