  • Bridge over troubled waters: linking climate change and development

    Publication date
    Objective
    Mitigation
    Approach
    Community based

    This document, the executive summary of a book of the same title, synthesises an OECD project on the opportunities and trade-offs faced in mainstreaming responses to climate change in development planning and assistance. Country case studies review climate change impacts and vulnerabilities, analyse relevant national plans and aid portfolios and examine selected areas of natural resource management where climate change is closely intertwined with development.

  • Progressive Image Discrimination

    The research team led by Dr. Ken McGwire of the Desert Research Institute has developed a highly interactive and informative mapping methodology that will allow you to continuously refine desired results from images used in Geomatics. Geomatics involves collecting analyzing and mapping geographic information that includes but no limited to the planning mapping and assessing of geographical areas for land use transportation forestry mining agricultural production and invasive plant and water resource management.

    Gambia

    Gambia communicated an Activity/Sector based commitment, including unconditional mitigation actions in afforestation and renewable energy, and conditonal reductions in agriculture, energy, transport and waste sectors. With individual baselines developed for each sector, excluding LULUCF and for Low Emissions Scenario, overall emissions will be reduced by about 44.4% in 2025 and 45.4% in 2030. The INDC also includes a section on Adaptation.

  • INDC of Zambia

    Type of National plan
    INDC
    Country
    Zambia

    Zambia’s INDC includes both mitigation and adaptation components based on her national circumstances and is in line with decisions 1/CP.19 and 1/CP.20. The successful implementation of Zambia’s INDC will result in an estimated total emission reduction of 38,000 GgCO2eq which translates to 47% (internationally supported efforts) against 2010 as a base year. This emission reduction is conditional and subject to the availability of international support in form of finance, technology and capacity building.
