As climate change increases the likelihood of unexpected weather patterns and natural disasters, communities need tools and methods to adapt to increased drought, floods, landslides and other climate-induced hazards. The CTCN collaborates with various stakeholders to provide technical assistance through technologies such as hazard risk mapping and early warning systems. An important climate adaptation strategy is also for countries to be equipped with better data and environmental information such as assessments of water resources and invasive species, as they are an important basis for decision-makers. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
