CTCN

Climate change affects disaster risks through the increase in weather and climate hazards. It also increases the vulnerability of communities to natural hazards, particularly through ecosystem degradation, reductions in water and food availability, and changes to livelihoods. The CTCN provides technical assistance’s such as strengthening countries’ early warning systems, ability to respond to flooding and capacities to assess climate change vulnerability- approaches which all require proper data, information and monitoring systems. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
