The mangrove ecosystem of Tumbes plays a pivotal role in providing protection against tides, winds and storm surges, and habitat for a number of fish species.
The Paraná River Delta in Argentina is considered to be highly vulnerable to climate change.
This project aims to develop a set of indicators to assess the state, use and governance of water resources in marginalized rural areas of the Andes in Colombia.
Climate change has the potential to exacerbate development challenges affecting the world's poorest and most vulnerable populations.
Research on climate change and its impact on the vulnerable is fairly well developed in Southern Africa. The transfer of knowledge from scientists to policymakers, however, remains weak.
The forests of the Congo basin provide ecosystem services to over 80% of the population living in or near them.
This project seeks to reduce the vulnerability of poor populations in sub-Saharan Africa to climate change by mobilizing scientists and all the other actors concerned to inform political decision-making.
The Andes account for more than 98% of the world's tropical mountain glaciers. Rural communities in nearby villages use glacier water for domestic consumption and agricultural production.
