This paper will focus on the concept of additionality in the context of development assistance and climate finance, especially adaptation; analyse the synergies amongst the traditional development activities and adaptation programmes and their complementarity in terms of objectives; lay out some working definitions of additionality and its practical implications; identify the potential sectoral an

This report sets out the case for adapting infrastructure in the energy, transport and water sectors so that new and existing infrastructure is able to operate effectively in a long-term changing climate.

Although no region of the world will be entirely spared, the negative impacts are likely to fall most heavily on poor nations in the tropical region. While data on the global impacts of climate change is available, those at regional levels are scanty and scattered. This prompted this study that took a general overview of climate change impacts in Nigeria.

Protected Areas offer a cost effective solution to the impacts of climate change, according to IUCN, The Nature Conservancy, the United Nations Development Programme, Wildlife Conservation Society, the World Bank and WWF.

Climate change is expected to affect the capacity and operations of existing water and sanitation infrastructure and services.

Without international assistance, developing countries will adapt to climate change as best they can. Part of the cost will be absorbed by households and part by the public sector. Adaptation costs will themselves be affected by socioeconomic development, which will also be affected by climate change.

This pubication says that market drivers for climate change investments remain robust driven by mandates and innovation policy. The 2010 Outlook is bullish for public markets, private equity / venture capital and infrastructure investments.

This book examines the emerging environmental stresses on coastal areas of the Indian Ocean and the resulting challenges confronting coastal planners and decision makers in a warming world.

This report clearly articulates how protected areas contribute significantly to reducing impacts of climate change and what is needed for them to achieve even more. It asserts that adaptation is a mechanism to protect and maintain ecosystem integrity, buffer local climate, reduce risks and impacts from extreme events such as storms, droughts and sea-level rise.
