How adaptation to climate change can reduce risk for small islands

This fact sheet introduces infographics created by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) based on the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). These materials are designed to help decision-makers in Small Island Developing States, Africa, and South Asia understand how climate change adaptation can reduce risk.

• The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) developed two concise guides based on the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) to assist decision-makers in South Asia, Africa, and Small Island Developing States. The provided infographic specifically focuses on the role of climate change adaptation in reducing risk for small islands.
• The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) is described as the most extensive assessment of climate change to date, involving 830 expert authors from 85 countries and consisting of over 5,000 pages across its first three volumes.
