Climate adaptation and resilience
Drawing upon Ricardo’s in-depth knowledge of science, policy and practice across many sectors, we develop and implement multidisciplinary services, with international, national, and local partners, often through extensive stakeholder engagement, regarding:
Adapting to climate change for a more resilient future
- Identifying and prioritising climate vulnerabilities, risks, and adaptation options and assessing co-benefits and trade-offs to support countries’ national adaptation plan (NAP) processes.
- Linking NAP processes to NDCs, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the Sendai Framework.
- Developing climate adaptation elements of Long-Term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategies (LTS).
- Scoping, feasibility analysis, programme design and cost-benefit analyses.
- Developing costed implementation plans for adaptation actions, associated finance strategies and institutional arrangements.
- Facilitating convergence and coordination of funding.
- Programme reviews.
- Identifying and prioritising climate vulnerabilities, risks, and adaptation options and assessing co-benefits and trade-offs, including for the development of cities’ Climate Action Plans.
- Advising on urban environmental governance, peer-to-peer learning from city networks and smart cities.
- Supporting vertical integration of subnational and national adaptation planning
- Supporting the development of climate adaptation policies and strategies, including through undertaking formal impact assessments.
- Supporting mainstreaming of climate adaptation in legislation, regulation, statutory guidance and standards, national or sectoral policies and strategies, and incentives.
- Supporting the evaluation of climate adaptation policies, strategies and programmes.
- Developing policy, programme and technical monitoring and evaluation frameworks and associated indicators.
- Compiling Adaptation Communications.
Developing international guidance, tools and knowledge products associated with all aspects of climate adaptation planning and the development of policies and practices.
