Описание: Social protection programs can provide enhanced opportunities to strengthen climate and disaster resilience of the poor and the marginalized population in Asia and the Pacific region. Climate and disaster risk is increasing in the Asia and Pacific region, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities and creating new ones. The adverse effects are felt most by the poor and the vulnerable. Social protection programs, when designed with climate and disaster risk considerations in mind, provide enhanced opportunities to strengthen climate and disaster resilience. This guidance note underscores the importance of strengthening climate change and disaster resilience through social protection programs and proposes a working framework for social protection programs to deliver on resilience outcomes—reduced risk, strengthened capacity to adapt, and enhanced residual risk management strategies to help recover from the adverse impacts of slow-onset and rapid-onset hazards.

Описание: Rural communities in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) are vulnerable to climate-related disasters. In 2008, tropical cyclone Nargis killed 84,500 people and impacted the livelihood of 2.4 million people. In 2011, large-scale floods in Thailand affected 14 million people and caused $45.7 billion in damages. This report presents findings of a climate risk financing study conducted by the GMS Core Environment Program in 28 rural communities in Cambodia, the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic, and Viet Nam. Learn more about how communities cope with climate hazards, how this study contributes to the knowledge base on rural climate risk financing in the GMS, and how it can become the basis for more comprehensive feasibility studies on climate risk financing.

Описание: The City of Cape Town (CoCT), a local municipality in the developing country of South Africa, is integrating climate change into its urban policy-making. This book presents initiatives across a range of municipal departments, from environmental resource management, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy management to spatial planning. It shows how these departments have shifted from ‘business as usual’ and mainstreamed climate change in addressing their development and climate change mandates, and describes the challenges that were encountered in making these shifts. The authors of this book believe that a new way of creating knowledge is needed, one which is socially embedded and involves non-academic actors in knowledge construction. To this end, municipal officials and academics worked collaboratively in a process of mutual learning to co-produce knowledge and co-write their chapters. This hybrid process, where practitioner experience is coupled with an academic perspective, has produced an ‘insider’ view of urban development and climate change governance through the lens of theory. The aim of the book is to present the City of Cape Town as a leader in climate change innovations and hence a model of sustainable urban transition for other cities of the Global South. The analysis of these innovations and the methodology used in producing this book provide ‘new’ and original practice based knowledge for policy-making in the transition towards more sustainable cities in the face of climate change.
