WEDO is an international women's global advocacy organisation focused on social, economic and environmental justice and sustainable development. To celebrate WEDO marking their twentieth anniversary, they have delved into their collective history to produce this review of significant milestones and moments of transformation in women's rights. Spanning from 1990 to 2012, the review takes the form of a year-by-year look at WEDO's work, beginning with how it all started.

This report argues that taking a life cycle approach and securing good nutritional status for women across the life course will in the long term reduce child underweight and stunting. It argues that around 30% of all women aged 15 to 49 years are thought to be anaemic, and the highest proportions of these anaemic women live in Africa and South East Asia. The prevalence of anaemia in adolescent girls is thought to be even higher.

This document aims to improve understanding about adaptation to climate change within development agencies, their partners and the other institutions and individuals working in the development community. In particular, it hopes to stimulate broader engagement and debate on key issues around development and climate change adaptation, which have largely remained within a separate group of specialists working specifically on climate change.

This book aims to provide a summary of the latest knowledge about climate change as it relates to the Pacific Islands Region.

The effects of Climate Change are complex requiring global, regional and national interventions and cannot be handled by a single ministry or government. This book has been compiled by the Institute of Law and Environmental Governance (ILEG) to detail all institutions that are in one way or another handling the effects of Climate Change.

This report explores how better policies towards human mobility can enhance human development. It lays out the case for governments to reduce restrictions on movement within and across their borders, so as to expand human choices and freedoms.

The adverse effects of climate change are a threat to the sustainable development of Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and the long-term effects of climate change may endanger continued existence of some islands. Increased atmosphere and ocean temperatures, greater rainfall variability, as well as increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events may cause sea levels to rise. In 2005 the Pacific Leaders endorsed the Pacific Islands Framework for Action on Climate Change (PIFACC) 2006 to 2015.

The agriculture sector faces the challenge of providing adequate food to a growing world population. There is limited scope to expand arable land, and unpredictable weather, floods, and other disastrous events make food production even more challenging. This guidebook provides information on 22 technologies and options for adapting to climate change in the agriculture sector.

The report presents GHG abatement opportunities for 10 sectors, 21 regions and five time-frames (from 2005 to 2030) from an economic perspective. It updates the previous version of their GHG abatement cost curve. It included all known anthropogenic GHG. It explores an updated view of the BAU emissions development, the trajectory of energy prices, and the development and deployment of low-carbon technology. The base year for the report is 2005.

Agriculture and water resources are two strategic sectors vulnerable to climate change and climate variability in Central America. The integration of soil and water conservation (SWC) techniques into small-scale hillside farming systems has been considered in recent strategies of adaptation. Several SWC techniques have been adopted by small-scale hillside farmers. The most frequently adopted techniques are those involving biomass management. Crop residue management, no-slash-and-burn and living hedgerows of several plant species are some examples.
