The GCF funding allocations to Latin America and the Caribbean, especially Brazil and Argentina, reveal several salient features. The countries' Paris Agreement commitments through the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) were made conditional on the international aids and...

Due to substantial uncertainties in the presently available climate change projections, a Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) of hydropower projects must aim at assessing the potential hydro-meteorological impacts of a wide range of possible future climate conditions on inter alia water resources...

Climate change and climate variability affect weather patterns and cause shifts in seasons resulting to negative effects such as declining food production and productivity for communities and households in Kenya. Since most rural households in Kenya depend on agriculture as their main source of...

Any human activity has some damaging impact if compared with a baseline of no human presence on the planet. There is no doubt intensification of livestock, agriculture, and forestry, along with the services and infrastructure generated around them have produced important changes in the coverage...

The Rio de la Plata grasslands (RPG), also known as "Pampas" or Pampa Biome (PB) are one of the few ecosystems of temperate grasslands and savannas in the world. They cover approximately one million square kilometers, shared by three countries that integrate the Mercosur treaty: Argentina (63%),...

Indus and Ganga Basins (IGB), which spread over 220 million ha and with over one billion population, grapples with multiple risks. Climate change will exacerbate the water-related recurrent disasters of floods and droughts. Variability and extreme events of rainfall and temperature are...

Based on long-range data from 1951 to 2016 and time-series analysis, this chapter explores the link between climate change and historical changes in rice yield in Thailand. We find evidence of significant regional climate change in terms of increasing temperature normal and declining...

The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) is a negotiating group comprised of small island and low-lying coastal states in the UN-led negotiations on climate change that are particularly vulnerable to climate change. We analyze the Green Climate Fund (GCF)'s funding to the Member States of the...

The first economic models explaining how to adapt to sea level rise (SLR) imagined the sea was effectively a large bathtub that was slowly filling. Adaptation involved retreat for undeveloped land and slowly raising land along the outer edge of the coastline to protect valuable developed land...
