Need for Scientific Assessment by IPCC on Managing the Risk of Extreme Events to Advance Climate Change Adaption
This analytical report stresses that, given the urgency and the scale of the adaptation challenge, it is imperative to learn from long experience in managing— and reducing—the risk of extreme climate events, such as floods, droughts, storms and extreme temperatures. The IPCC Fourth Assessment Report recognises the opportunity to advance adaptation through the use of such policies and tools. In particular, it states that reducing vulnerability to current climatic variability can effectively reduce vulnerability to increased hazard risk associated with climate change.

Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters
This activity report includes the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-2015) to promote a strategic and systematic approach to reducing vulnerabilities and risks to hazards. Disaster loss is on the rise with grave consequences for the survival, dignity and livelihood of individuals, particularly the poor, and hard-won development gains. Disaster risk is increasingly of global concern and its impact and actions in one region can have an impact on risks in another, and vice versa.

Adivasi Women – Engaging with Climate Change
This analytical report aims to decipher the gendered impact of climate change in indigenous societies in Asia with a particular focus on the Adivasi ethnic and tribal group of India. It also intends to increase understanding of how these impacts are exacerbated by structural shifts in Advasi socio-economic systems resulting from their colonial history and more recent efforts at privatization and gendered roles within the Adivasi communities. In conclusion, the study offers policy recommendations to enhance women’s resiliency to these impacts.
