"MRV, leadership and groups/clubs/coalitions" were the buzzwords at the Summer Retreat of the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV held in Mexico in September 2015. This knowledge product builds upon the discussions from the Summer Retreat and aims at demonstrating that building a coalition of countries to lead the way in Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) can be an effective way of ensuring countries rise above the floor of minimum requirements for transparency in their climate actions.

This case study analyzes the results, lessons learned and recommendations emerging from the application of the Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (CVCA) methodology in the context of the PRAA project. First, it presents an overview of the project, the areas of intervention by country, the results of the analysis itself, and lastly, the main lessons learned and recommendations that arose from the application of the tools contained in the CVCA Handbook in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.

Agriculture employs about a third of the population in the Peruvian regions of Junín and Piura. Yet agricultural productivity is impeded by low technology and investments, as well as fragmented land tenure. Climate events already have massive impacts on the agricultural sector and climate change is likely to further intensify these effects. This report argues that climate risk management strategies in agriculture must address current climate variability while preparing the sector for the eventual impacts of warming and glacier retreat.

This perspective document, part of the 16-paper series on water and climate change adaptation, focuses on the impacts and adaptive strategies in arid and semi-arid regions. The series reflect the central topic of the 5th World Water Forum, ‘climate change and adaptation’, where it was presented and discussed. The following risks posed by climate change to the water sector in arid regions are identified.
