  • Coastal biophysical and institutional analysis

    Publication date
    Objective
    Adaptation
    Approach
    Community based

    This desk-based assessment documents the current state of knowledge and key information gaps on the impacts of climate change on social and biophysical systems of West Africa. It then assesses regional institutions for their adaptive capacity to help countries adapt to climate impacts. Finally, the report outlines areas for potential engagement for additional research and scoping on West African coastal climate impacts.

  • Participatory subnational planning for REDD+ and other land use programmes: Methodology and step-by-step guidance

    Publication date
    Objective
    Mitigation
    Sectors
    Agriculture and forestry

    This document presents a proposed methodology, and step-by-step guidance, for Participatory Subnational Planning (PSP), tailored to operationalise subnational REDD+ programmes. PSP is a participatory planning method presented as a comprehensive, yet cost-effective approach to identifying: drivers of deforestation and forest degradation; interventions to address these drivers; environmental and social benefits/risks of these interventions; and indicators and monitoring plans.

  • CLUP resource book: Integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction & management

    Publication date
    Objective
    Adaptation
    Approach
    Disaster risk reduction
    Community based

    This publication provides practical information on mainstreaming climate change and disaster risk reduction in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) process. Key concepts and frameworks are discussed as well a focus on planning risks. The potential impacts of climate change to the relevant sectors of the CLUP are visualized in impact chains which structure climate-related information as a means to understand how climate change may trigger effects relevant to land use planning.

  • INDC of Gambia

    Type of National plan
    INDC
    Country
    Gambia

    Gambia communicated an Activity/Sector based commitment, including unconditional mitigation actions in afforestation and renewable energy, and conditonal reductions in agriculture, energy, transport and waste sectors. With individual baselines developed for each sector, excluding LULUCF and for Low Emissions Scenario, overall emissions will be reduced by about 44.4% in 2025 and 45.4% in 2030. The INDC also includes a section on Adaptation.

  • INDC of Zambia

    Type of National plan
    INDC
    Country
    Zambia

    Zambia’s INDC includes both mitigation and adaptation components based on her national circumstances and is in line with decisions 1/CP.19 and 1/CP.20. The successful implementation of Zambia’s INDC will result in an estimated total emission reduction of 38,000 GgCO2eq which translates to 47% (internationally supported efforts) against 2010 as a base year. This emission reduction is conditional and subject to the availability of international support in form of finance, technology and capacity building.
