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.
