This report describes an Excel-based cost-benefit analysis (CBA) model developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA). The model is designed to evaluate 'betterment' road infrastructure projects in Queensland, Australia, by quantifying not only direct avoided reconstruction costs but also indirect social, economic, and environmental 'non-road' benefits to determine the total societal value of resilience investments.

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examining rural-to-peri-urban migration in north and central Namibia as a response to climate hazards, detailing the associated benefits for migrants and the socio-economic costs for communities of origin.

This policy briefing by the South African Institute of International Affairs argues that increasing climate change literacy across Africa is essential for moving from reactive coping mechanisms to transformative adaptation. It highlights significant gaps in public understanding of the human causes of climate change, particularly among women and rural populations, and advocates for the integration of climate literacy into education and national development agendas to build climate-resilient development pathways.

This briefing, submitted by Amnesty International and the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) to the UNFCCC on February 15, 2023, argues that the newly established Loss and Damage Fund must be guided by international human rights law. The authors advocate for a fund based on non-discrimination, substantive equality, and the provision of effective remedies, emphasizing that funding should be public, grant-based, and sourced from historical polluters to avoid increasing the debt of vulnerable nations.

This executive summary outlines evidence-based and costed roadmaps for transforming agriculture and food systems in Ethiopia, Malawi, and Nigeria to combat hunger, improve nutrition, increase small-scale producer incomes, and address climate change.

This case study documents the community-led efforts of Kamarkhali village in north-central Bangladesh to combat accelerating riverbank erosion along the Someshwari River. Through the formation of a resistance committee, non-violent protests, and multiple attempts to build embankments, the community eventually secured government assistance to construct a sandbag embankment completed in April 2021.

This report provides an evidence-based and costed roadmap for transforming agriculture and food systems in Ethiopia to address hunger, nutrition, and climate change.

This report by the African Climate Foundation outlines priorities for reforming the global financial architecture to better support climate investment and sustainable development in Africa. It argues that the current system is dominated by creditor interests and advanced economies, resulting in high borrowing costs, insufficient concessional finance, and a debt crisis that hinders Africa's ability to respond to climate change.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights reviews the 2022 outputs of the Human Rights Committee (CCPR) regarding climate change. It highlights a decline in climate-related mentions in State review processes and analyzes the groundbreaking decision in Billy et al. v. Australia, which established a State's duty to protect people from climate impacts.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights synthesizes the 2022 activities of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) regarding climate change. It details the Committee's interactions with State parties through the review process, its focus on mitigation, adaptation, and fossil fuel financing, and the publication of General Comment No. 26 on land and economic, social and cultural rights.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights synthesizes the 2022 activities of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) regarding climate change. It details the CRC's review of State reporting, its focus on mitigation and adaptation, and the development of General Comment No. 26 on children's rights and the environment.

This briefing note by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and the Global Initiative for Economic, Social & Cultural Rights (GIESCR) reviews the 2023 activities of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) regarding climate change. It details the Committee's focus on mitigation policies, adaptation strategies, and the transition away from fossil fuels across various State parties' Concluding Observations (COBs) and Lists of Issues (LOIs).

The Ninth Meeting of the San Giorgio Group, convened by the Climate Policy Initiative on March 23-24, 2023, brought together financial sector actors managing over USD 25 trillion in assets to discuss scaling climate finance. The discussions focused on three primary areas: evolving the approach to just energy transitions, reframing adaptation and resilience as investment opportunities, and reforming the public finance architecture of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).

This research paper argues that current climate adaptation research overemphasizes planned, public policy-driven adaptation while neglecting autonomous, 'everyday' societal responses. The author proposes an integrated approach that treats adaptation as a commons issue to analyze the synergies and conflicts between these two forms of adaptation, specifically focusing on outcomes related to climate justice and equality.

A briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute arguing that climate adaptation should be reframed as a global shared responsibility rather than a local challenge, specifically to address transboundary and cascading climate risks.

The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) 2022 end-of-year letter outlines the organization's efforts to catalyze resilience investments and initiatives, highlighting partnerships with the private sector, the launch of innovation challenges in East Africa, and the operation of the COP Resilience Hub.

This research paper by the Climate Policy Initiative evaluates methodologies for tracking investments in climate resilient infrastructure (CRI). The study pilots a framework based on five climate resilience principles across the water, transport, energy, and AFOLU sectors, finding that CRI investments are a small fraction of total infrastructure spending, with USD 87 spent on non-resilient projects for every USD 1 spent on CRI.

The IDFC Green Finance Mapping 2022 report details the green finance commitments of International Development Finance Club (IDFC) member institutions for 2021, noting a record high of USD 224 billion in total commitments.

The executive summary of 'Global Climate Action 2022' by the NewClimate Institute analyzes International Climate Initiatives (ICIs), noting a downward trend in productivity and performance since 2019. It highlights a significant underrepresentation of the Global South and evaluates the potential of 'Glasgow Initiatives' from COP26 to bridge the 2030 emission ambition gap, provided more large-emitting countries join and implement them.

This research paper from the Stockholm Environment Institute argues that the UNFCCC climate regime's resilience to global crises depends on addressing structural inequities and power imbalances between the Global North and Global South, which were exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
