Who benefits from disasters and the claims of dangerous, man-made (but still avoidable) global warming? Not that disasters never happen, but do we have the right diagnosis in this case?I
would like to add a note of optimism to the report by the New Economics
Foundation (NEF) and the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS) called

Such claims call for political analysis.

Publication dateObjective
This project develops state-of-the-art daily precipitation data sets with high-resolution grids for Asia, including the Himalayas, South and South-East Asia and mountainous areas in the Middle East. The data sets are created primarily with data obtained from a rain-gauge-observation network. The data contribute to studies such as the diagnosis of climate changes, evaluation of Asian water resources, statistical downscaling, forecast improvements and verification of numerical model simulation and satellite precipitation estimates.

The Climate Resilience Framework is a conceptual framework for simplifying and analyzing complex relationships between people, systems, institutions and climate change. The framework helps clarify factors that need to be included in the diagnosis of climate vulnerability, structures the systematic analysis of vulnerability in ways that clearly identify the entry points for responding, and supports strategic planning to build resilience to climate change.
