This White Paper "Climate Mitigation and Adaptation with Eco-Village Development (EVD) Solutions in South Asia" analyses and presents climate-effects of EVD solutions, using existing cases from villages in South Asia. EVD combines village-level developmental planning with local sustainable solutions to give villagers climate-resilient supplies of energy, water, agricultural products, and other necessities and livelihood improvements, depending upon the choices of the villagers.

In view of the climate change challenges, this paper aims to outline a possible framework for an agreement on adaptation. It highlights several issues that need to be recognised and clarified to make such an agreement effective and in the process, it also examines several key building blocks that could be considered for such an agreement. Since 1992 many significant achievements in addressing vulnerability and adaptation have been made from the framework for adaptation under the UNFCCC to other international agreements.

Nigeria is frequently affected by disasters as a result of natural processes. Three quarters of these are related to extreme weather and climate events, including droughts, floods, extreme temperatures, thunderstorms, and desertification. Changes in global climate patterns will have serious implications for Nigeria, as most socioeconomic activities are extremely sensitive to climate variability. In this regard, concerted efforts are being made to address the issue of current and abrupt climate change.

The policy paper (a primer to a more comprehensive policy bulletin) draws insights from the Linking Climate Adaptation (LCA) project, and addresses climate change adaptation and developing countries’ vulnerabilities to extreme climate change events. The document examines in overview country case studies and syntheses, the future climate research agenda and the rationale of the LCA Network that aims to link adaptation policy makers, practitioners and communities impacted by climate.

There is limited experience in factoring impacts of climate change and adaptation into development and poverty reduction strategies. This paper examines the approaches and methods in mainstreaming adaptation activities into development activities, and proposes suggestions for the next phases of implementation.
