    Objective:

    The 2022-2023 CTCN Progress Report showcases how developing countries have harnessed the power of technology to forge their own path toward a sustainable future. During the reporting period, CTCN supported more than 75 countries and enhanced capacity building for climate technology development and transfer across the five systems’ transformation areas.

    Sectors:

    Water storage is and will be a key strategy for climate change adaptation. One of the major impacts of climate change in the mountains will be on the availability of water. This, together with increased demand from a growing population for water for agricultural, industrial and domestic purposes, is likely to turn water into a major issue in the countries of Asia in the coming years. One way to address the growing gap between demand and availability of water seems clear: store more water when it is available in excess and release it when it is needed.

    Approach:

    This briefing paper describes a new approach to addressing the vulnerability of poor communities to climate change: Community-based adaptation (CBA). CBA begins by identifying the communities in the developing world that are most vulnerable to climate change. These are generally very poor, depend on natural resources, and occupy areas prone to environmental shocks. Once a community’s vulnerability has been established, using the best available science on climate change impacts, the process of engagement with the communities can begin.

    Objective:

    This report aims to highlight and raise awareness about the exposure and vulnerability of the energy sector to climate change. It identifies adaptation options available to each source of energy generation as well as for the distribution and end use of electrical energy. The report focuses on electric power generation, its transmission, and its distribution. A second publication, "Guidelines for Climate Proofing Investments in the Electric Power Sector", provides a systematic project-level approach for assessing climate risk and climate-proofing investments in the sector.

    Objective:

    This research project aimed to enhance the research capacity of scientists in South-East Asia on the subject of climate change with a focus on impact, vulnerability and adaptation, especially on rice production and water resources, which include assessment of impact, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change on the food production and water resource sectors. The major outcomes from this research consist of data, which have been used for many studies on climate change in the South-East Asia region.

    Objective:

    This report presents early research from a collaboration of Canadian and African researchers. It covers conflict prevention and resolution, migration, energy, health and food security. Recommendations made include calls for action at the national, regional and global levels. At the national level, increased awareness of development implications of climate and the building of climate change knowledge and capacity are recommended. Regionally, a coordinated and common African position is advocated.

    Objective:

    According to this report, most South-East Asian countries are vulnerable to climate change risks and impacts. This report presents the specific country situations, particularly for the water, agriculture and socio-economics sectors. This is followed by a presentation of the specific gaps and needs which were identified.
