Climate change affects disaster risks through the increase in weather and climate hazards. It also increases the vulnerability of communities to natural hazards, particularly through ecosystem degradation, reductions in water and food availability, and changes to livelihoods. The CTCN provides technical assistance’s such as strengthening countries’ early warning systems, ability to respond to flooding and capacities to assess climate change vulnerability- approaches which all require proper data, information and monitoring systems. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
Based on the above, the technical assistance will aim to develop an additional information module to be incorporated into the MKFFIS to bolster the existing system’s ability to forecast fires and thus inform the development of appropriate countermeasures.
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) will provide technical assistance to help strengthen the resilience of two cities in Liberia, Monrovia and the suburb east of Monrovia, Paynesville, through the implementation of climate change adaptation actions, including rain gardens, which promote green infrastructure in these two urban areas.
Half-covered by the Sahara Desert and located between the arid Sahelian and north-Sudanese zones, Mali is characterized by a dry tropical climate with high variability between dry and wet periods. It is therefore estimated to be among the most vulnerable countries to climatic change. Due to its location, flat plains, and river systems coupled with changing climate patterns, Mali is exposed to the increased risk of extreme rainfall events, resulting in more frequent and severe floods that impact infrastructure, livelihoods, and essential services.
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) is providing technical assistance to enhance the capacity of Fiji’s Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways and other key stakeholders to promote climate-resilient agriculture.
