The CTCN brings together stakeholders who want to leverage ecosystem services from lakes, rivers, oceans and coastal zones to capture carbon emissions, also commonly referred to as Blue Carbon. A key approach is to adapt coastal zones to climatic changes through technologies such as wetland restoration, beach nourishment and a combination of other well-established and innovative technologies. Browse through our Coastal Zone pages to see how you can connect with our growing network of organisations and businesses. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
This guide aims to help address this challenge by providing the missing identification and evaluation assistance that those looking for adaptation solutions initially face. More specifically, it focuses on adaptation technologies for building resilience to climate change induced hazards in the water sector.
This report synthesizes climate change governance issues in Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Case studies assessed vulnerabilities to climate change; climate change adaptation policies, plans and strategies, and their genesis and relation to the state of national knowledge on vulnerability; the institutional actors involved in climate change policy and responses; public awareness of climate change; and the role of state and non-state actors in international climate change negotiations.
