This analytical report was prepared by WFP and the Ministry of Economic Development under C-ADAPT, a strategic global initiative that aims to strengthen the capacity of WFP and partners to deliver climate services to the most vulnerable and food insecure communities and build resilience to climate-related risks through effective climate risk analysis, adaptation planning, and risk management.

This analytical report explores the historical relationships between climate and food security indicators and also analyses the sensitivities of livelihoods to climate risks in Senegal and uses this information to identify who is potentially most at risk. This type of work is instrumental, not only in advancing the climate change and food security dialogue in Senegal, but also in providing concrete inputs for adaptation planning.

This analytical report examines the historical relationships between climate and food security in Nepal. It also analyses the ways in which livelihoods are affected by climate risks. Finally, it uses this information to identify priorities for interventions. It aims to not only help advance the climate change and food security dialogue in Nepal, but also provide concrete inputs for adaptation planning to build resilience in the most vulnerable regions of the country.

This analytical report examines how the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change work plan on Loss & Damage relates to food security and livelihoods, and proposes recommendations for managing loss and damage based on evidence from Asian countries.

This analytical report explores several key issues. For instance, it examines the historical relationship between the climate and food security, and also analyses the sensitivities of livelihoods to climate conditions and uses this information to identify who is potentially most at risk. We consider that this type of work is instrumental not only to advancing the climate change and food security dialogue in the Kyrgyz Republic, but also to providing concrete input for adaptation planning.

This analytical report aims to contribute to a quantitative and qualitative assessment of climate risk impacts (including climate variability, change, and extremes) on food security and livelihoods in Ethiopia.

Este documento auxiliar es parte de una serie de textos que se han elaborado en el marco del Estudio regional de los efectos del cambio climático en la costa de América Latina y el Caribe. La zona de estudio comprende una longitud total de costa de aproximadamente 72.182 km distribuidos en cuatro zo onas geográficas: Norteamérica, Centroamérica, Sudamérica y las Islas del Caribe. En el dominio de estudio se han analizado los cambios detectados en las dinámicas costeras, la influencia de la variabilidad climática, información diversa sobre la vulnerabilidad presente en las costas de la región, abarcando tanto el medio físico como el socioeconómico, la configuración física de las mismas y los impactos y riesgos previsibles en el futuro.
