This document is a role-playing exercise designed for a consultation meeting, where a participant assumes the persona of a 35-year-old indigenous woman experiencing domestic violence to explore the intersection of gender-based violence, social marginalization, and climate change adaptation.

This document is a role-playing guide featuring a persona of a 62-year-old woman in Barrio Inundado to illustrate how flooding affects vulnerable populations and to discuss the utility of volunteer networks for disaster support.

This document is a role-playing exercise guide for a simulation involving a 28-year-old male employee of a public institution living in Barrio Inundado. The scenario focuses on community responses to neighborhood flooding, the lack of risk information, and the social dynamics of forming a volunteer network to mitigate flood impacts.

This document is a role-playing guide designed to help a civil servant lead a climate vulnerability and risk assessment and develop adaptation plans for a specific neighborhood called Barrio Inundado.

This document is a role-playing exercise guide designed for a group discussion, featuring a persona of a 32-year-old mother and primary breadwinner in a flood-affected neighborhood.

This synthesis report details the Raising Risk Awareness (RRA) project, a pilot initiative designed to build capacity for extreme event attribution (EEA) and sea level rise risk analysis in developing countries. The project focused on Ethiopia, India, Kenya, and Bangladesh to bridge the gap between climate science, communication, and policy-making, helping stakeholders understand the role of human-induced climate change in specific extreme weather events to better manage future risks.

This document is a role-playing exercise guide designed to simulate the process of conducting a climate vulnerability and risk assessment and developing adaptation plans in Krishna Nagar.

This document is a role-playing exercise designed for a group discussion, featuring a persona of an 18-year-old Muslim boy living in Krishna Nagar who is affected by flooding.

This document is a role-playing exercise designed for a group discussion, centering on the experiences of a 28-year-old transgender woman living in a marginalized community facing the impacts of flooding.

This briefing note presents a case study on the economic impacts of climate change on infrastructure in the Kampala urban area of Uganda. It focuses on the rising costs of flooding and the estimated financial requirements for climate-proofing buildings and roads through 2050.

This briefing note presents a case study on the economic impacts of climate change and variability on agricultural production in Uganda's Karamoja region, focusing on three specific village locations. It details recent production losses, projects future losses up to 2050, and recommends priority adaptation strategies to improve resilience.

This report provides a risk and vulnerability assessment of water resources in the Limpopo Water Management Area (WMA) of South Africa. It analyzes current water resource stresses, observed and projected climate trends, and the resulting vulnerabilities to ensure sustainable water management.

This fact sheet by Energy Innovation examines the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, attributing these shifts to human-induced climate change and rising carbon dioxide levels.

This technical report analyzes the vulnerability, threats, and risks associated with hydroclimatic events, specifically flooding, in the city of Durán, Ecuador. Using a methodology based on IPCC definitions and the StormWater Management Model (SWMM), the study evaluates exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity across 268 urban sectors to identify areas of high risk and propose integrated resilience strategies.

The Youth Emergency Guide is a resource co-developed by young people aged 13-25 in South Africa, in partnership with UNICEF and the South African Institute of International Affairs (Youth@SAIIA). It provides a framework for children and youth to identify risks, develop emergency plans, and build social resilience to better respond to and prevent disasters, specifically focusing on climate-related hazards, health crises, and civil unrest.

This research paper by the World Resources Institute describes a methodology for ranking 180 countries and 200 major river basins based on their exposure to water-related risks, using weighted aggregations of localized data from the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas.

A fact sheet from the World Resources Institute detailing how climate change and extreme weather events increase health vulnerabilities in the United States, specifically regarding heat waves, wildfires, flooding, and respiratory health.

This case study examines the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) in Bangladesh, focusing on Phase I (2004–2009). The programme represents a strategic shift from a reactive relief-based approach to a proactive risk-reduction culture. It details the institutional frameworks, specific tools developed for climate and disaster risk management, and the transition into Phase II (2010–2014) to mainstream these practices across thirteen government ministries.
