• Publication 16 August 2021 Designing an Africa-EU research and innovation collaboration platform on climate change Climate change is arguably the most significant of a set of interconnected global challenges threatening water resources and food security. In particular, the relationship between water resources, food systems and climate change is tightly coupled, and improved food security under climate change and climate variability scenarios requires globally coordinated actions for both technical and policy interventions to achieve greater resilience. Successful implementation of these actions requires a…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Overcoming Barriers to the Transfer and Diffusion of Climate Technologies This guidebook provides practical and operational guidance on how to assess and overcome barriersfacing the transfer and diffusion of technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation.The guidebook is designed to support the analysis of specific technologies, rather than pursuing asectoral (e.g. transport) or technology group (e.g. renewable energy) approach.Given that there is no single solution to enhancing technology transfer and diffusion policies needbe tailored to country-specific…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Developing INDCs: a guidance note The objective of this note is to explain the elements of the Lima Decision and its implications for developing INDCs. Further, the note explains different ways in which countries could express the mitigation and adaptation components of their INDC. Developing countries, given their development needs and low capability, would need means of implementation (MoI) for adaptation and to take ambitious mitigation actions. Developing countries would include MoI needs in the context of mitigation and…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Les ecarts de financement en matiere d'adaptation aux changements climatiques - avec la perspective des CPDN En 2014, le Programme des Nations Unies pour l’Environnement (PNUE) a publié son premier rapport sur les écarts entre besoins et perspectives en matière d’adaptation (AGR 2014) (PNUE, 2014), lequel a permis de poser un cadre préliminaire pour évaluer ces écarts et d’établir une évaluation préliminaire dans trois domaines précis : le financement, les technologies et les connaissances. Le rapport a reçu un accueil très positif, plusieurs pays invitant par la suite le PNUE à le mettre à jour en se…
• Publication 16 August 2021 The Adaptation Finance Gap Update - with insights from the INDCs In 2014 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) published its first global Adaptation Gap Report (AGR 2014) (UNEP, 2014), which put forward a preliminary framework for assessing adaptation gaps along with an initial assessment in three selected areas: finance, technology and knowledge. Further to the positive reception of this report, several countries requested UNEP to produce follow up reports focusing on specific adaptation gaps. In response to these requests, UNEP has commissioned a…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Governance and Community Responses to Floods in Poor Peri-urban Areas In recent years, urban flooding has become an increasingly severe and frequent problem for the poor in many West African urban centres. In diverse metropoles of the region, including Lagos, Cotonou, Accra, Abidjan and Dakar, low-income populations who typically live undesirable flood-prone areas see their already considerable vulnerability increased for every flooding event. In the long term, climate change is expected to make matters worse for these already tried populations, due to an…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Climate Change Risks – Methodological Framework and Case Study of Damages from Extreme Events in Cambodia Climate change imposes some special risks on Least Developed Countries, and the chapter presents a methodological framework, which can be used to assess the impacts of key assumptions related to damage costs, risks and equity implications on current and future generations. The methodological framework is applied to a case study of severe storms in Cambodia based on statistical information on past storm events including information about buildings damaged and victims. Despite there is limited…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Evaluer et prioriser les technologies d’adaptation au changement climatique. Orientations pratiques pour une analyse multicritères et l’identification et évaluation de critères afférents L’objectif de ce guide est de guider les consultants, les décideurs et les experts techniques sur la façon de faciliter les discussions pour prioriser les technologies d’adaptation, et de soutenir les parties prenantes dans l’identification des critères appropriés pour cette analyse.
