This report reveals that if all UK farmland was converted to organic farming, at least 3.2 million tonnes of carbon would be taken up by the soil each year - the equivalent of taking nearly 1 million cars off the road.

This note reports on examples of recent experience in eight countries where national and local governments and civil society participants have worked to strengthen their disaster risk reduction and adaptation actions.

The Overseas Development Institute has reviewed the low carbon growth and climate change response strategies of a range of countries with differing economic characteristics to draw out the policy implications for developing countries at different stages of development.

The Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands has announced that its Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) has compiled a briefing note based on recent decisions adopted by Ramsar contracting parties and on recent information and recommendations provided by the STRP in relation to wetlands and climate change.

Globally, 1.7 billion farmers are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The many who are already hungry are particularly vulnerable. Yet scaling up localised

This matrix helps policymakers compare the National Climate Change plans of five developing countries: India, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Africa.

In responding to climate change, the specific nature of coastal areas calls for special approaches. On the one hand, these areas are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts; on the other, healthy coastal wetland ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, can reduce that vulnerability as they pro-vide protection from climate impacts like storms or sea level rise.

This publication outlines good practices, providing practical case studies of successful disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation and mitigation projects implemented by ACT members or their partners around the world. The guide includes 14 case studies, which describe local projects that range from renewable energy to controlling water in areas that have too little (or too much).

This new report by WFP details impact of climate change on hunger in developing countries. Predicts that by 2050 the number of people at risk of hunger as a result of climate change is expected to increase by 10 to 20 percent more than would be expected without climate change.

Policy-makers who factor the planet's multi-trillion dollar ecosystem services into their national and international investment strategies are likely to see far higher rates of return and stronger economic growth in the 21st century.
