This report by the Nature-Based Infrastructure Global Resource Centre evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of nature-based infrastructure (NBI) within the Integrated Natural Resources Management Programme (INReMP) in Kenya, focusing on water scarcity and sustainable agriculture.

This case study examines the process and impact of an economic assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation options in Uganda conducted between 2013 and 2015. The study, supported by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) and owned by the Ministry of Water and Environment, aimed to provide monetary evidence of the 'cost of inaction' to influence high-level policy-makers and secure investment for climate adaptation.

This report provides an economic assessment of climate change impacts in Uganda, analyzing five national sectors and five local case studies. It estimates that the cost of inaction between 2010 and 2050 ranges from US$273 billion to US$437 billion, primarily affecting the water and energy sectors. The study argues that while adaptation costs are high, they are significantly lower than the potential damages, and that economic growth is essential to provide the resources necessary for resilience.

This executive summary presents an economic assessment of climate change impacts in Uganda, detailing the costs of inaction versus adaptation across water, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure sectors. It emphasizes that the cost of inaction is significantly higher than the cost of adaptation and provides specific sectoral priorities and regional case studies to guide the Government of Uganda's policy and investment decisions.

This briefing by the Institute for Security Studies examines the role of ethnic identity and identification documents during periods of violence in Kenya, specifically following disputed elections.

This briefing note presents an economic assessment of climate change impacts on Uganda's agricultural sector, focusing on food crops, livestock, and export crops up to 2050. It highlights the significant risks posed by extreme weather events and the necessity of immediate adaptation actions.

This report provides a comprehensive inventory of nature-based solutions (NbS) for climate adaptation implemented in Uganda from 2015 to 2026. It analyzes 19 interventions across diverse ecosystems, emphasizing integrated models that combine ecological restoration with livelihood support to address coupled challenges such as food insecurity, water stress, and disaster risk.
