Webinar on accessing and using data and information for adaptation planning

19th April 2023

This informative webinar provides an overview of the essential climate change adaptation tools designed to help decision-makers generate climate-related change scenarios and predictions, even in countries with limited resources. The ClimoCast, S8DS & FloodS tools are freely available and can be utilised for strategic decision-making and climate change adaptation planning. The webinar was organised by the Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific, at the Asian Institute of Technology, for the Ministry of Environment Japan (MOEJ).

Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030): Capacity Building Models and Tools to Strengthen Cities' Resilience in Asia and the Pacific

March 13, 2023

This webinar reflects on various practical applications, resilience-building models, tools and methodologies, and capacity-building approaches to enhance efforts of cities and local governments to strengthen urban resilience to climate and disaster risks. The webinar was hosted by the Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific, at the Asian Institute of Technology.

Think Globally, Fund Locally - Adaptive finance to strengthen locally-led climate change adaptation

27 September, 2022

This webinar reflects on the need to strengthen and scale up access to finance for locally-led climate change adaptation. The discussion includes a review of the principles for locally-led adaptation and recent research by the International Institute for Environment and Development, and a discussion with climate adaptation experts from Save the Children and the Thailand Environment Institute on their experiences to support community-led adaptation. Drawing on research, previous and ongoing projects in Asia and the Pacific as well as in Africa the discussion sheds light on examples, challenges, and good practices to bridge access to finance via capacity building, flexible financing, and collaboration for co-finance and co-benefits. The webinar is hosted by the Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific, at the Asian Institute of Technology.
