Security

This paper examines innovative approaches that have been adopted in four BRACED projects to build resilience to current and future climate risks.

This report sets out the risks to food security in the Middle East and North Africa from climate change, and how these vulnerabilities interact with other key trends and sources of risk.

This article highlights key areas where efforts to reduce the underlying causes/drivers of vulnerability and risk need to be improved to create more inclusive, equitable and sustainable development.

This case study focuses on community resilience to alpine hazards in South Tyrol (Italy) and Grison (Switzerland)

This paper describes a participatory methodology used to assess the current vulnerability of local communities in the Congo Basinon the COBAM project. Vulnerability has been studied through the lenses of different dimensions: system and exposure units, dynamic processes, multiple threats, differential exposure, social capital and collective action. The purpose of this framework is to grasp the socio-ecological dynamics in the system over the past decades, in order to identify future actions for reducing vulnerability and to enhance adaptive capacity.

Africa’s climate is changing. Across the continent rainfall patterns are set to alter. In many areas droughts will become more frequent, more intense, and last longer.

The Stockholm Environment Institute’s research project Adaptation without Borders is placing a spotlight on the country of Senegal in West...

This project will identify what environmental, socio-economic and institutional factors, and the interaction of these factors across multiple scales, build or erode the climate and disaster resilience of rice cropping and rice farmers in coastal Odisha.

Between 2011 and 2012, a regional baseline assessment to analyse vulnerability was conducted in five landscapes of the Congo Basin as part of the ‘Climate Change and Forests in the Congo Basin: Synergies between Adaptation and Mitigation (COBAM)’ project. This briefing note summarises the results for the Monte Alén–Monts de Cristal landscape.

Summary More frequent and intense climate extremes are expected as the climate changes; this, combined with changing patterns of exposure...
