This scoping study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) examines how to strengthen gender considerations within Kiribati’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process, specifically focusing on the Joint Implementation Plan on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (KJIP). The report identifies a significant gap between national gender equality goals—which have historically focused on domestic violence—and climate adaptation planning, which remains largely gender-blind. It provides recommendations to integrate a family-focused approach to resilience and to enhance the role of the Ministry of Women, Youth and Social Affairs (MWYSA) in climate governance.

This guide, published by the Stockholm Environment Institute, serves as a companion document that maps the 'PROVIA Guidance on Assessing Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation to Climate Change' to the 'Technical Guidelines for the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Process'. It provides national policy-makers in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and other developing countries with specific methods, tools, and decision trees to implement the various steps of the NAP process, from laying the groundwork and assessing vulnerabilities to implementing and monitoring adaptation strategies.

This briefing note presents the results of a vulnerability assessment conducted between 2011 and 2012 in the Monte Alén–Monts de Cristal landscape, specifically focusing on Atom village in Equatorial Guinea. The study, part of the COBAM project, examines how climate-related disturbances, socio-economic shifts toward an oil economy, and forest degradation affect local livelihoods and food security.

This capacity statement outlines the Stockholm Environment Institute's (SEI) approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and sustainable development, highlighting its role as a transdisciplinary think tank that integrates scientific research with policy engagement and capacity-building to reduce human vulnerability to natural hazards.
