The aim of this CTCN Webinar on water adaptation technologies is to introduce the participants to climate change issues, adaptation and technologies in water resources management and in water dependent sectors, respectively.
This webinar covers issues faced by cities for both climate change mitigation and adaptation, particularly focusing on the technological interventions that cities can adopt to combat and build resilience to climate change.
This webinar will be presented by CSIR, member organization of the CTCN Consortium.
The primary objective of flood-proofing is to reduce or avoid the impacts of coastal flooding upon structures. This may include elevating structures above the floodplain, employing designs and building materials which make structures more resilient to flood damage and preventing floodwaters from entering structures in the flood zone, amongst other measures.
The description of this technology originates from Linham and Nicholls (2010).
Description:
Lao PDR (People’s Democratic Republic) has identified a number of actions which it intends to undertake in order reduce its future GHG emissions, subject to the provision of international support. These are outlined in Table 1 together with preliminary estimates of the projected emissions reductions which will occur as a result. These estimates have been drawn from a variety of sources and need to be reviewed and updated to address consistency and accuracy in analytical methods once more reliable data and information are available. The INDC also includes a section on Adaptation.
The objective of this summary note is to present an easy-to-read overview of the key challenges and emerging practices associated with M&E in the area of climate change adaptation.
This brief outlines the approach of using indigenous varieties of rice to develop salt tolerant crops for areas where soil salinity is an increasing problem.
Dairy products can be split into groups accodring to their preservation status - milk is at high risk of turning sour after only a few days if untreated. However, preservation techniques extend its shelf life.
Potatoes are the fourth-largest food crop after rice, wheat, and maize. This brief describes how to make best use of them.
Spurs and dykes are structures that protect river banks and contain flood waters. They can be built by communities using stones and wire.
