For CDM project activities it is an important requirement to calculate and document achieved emission reductions in a conservative and transparent manner, allowing verification of emission reductions and the actual issuance of carbon credits. The management, development and especially the monitoring of Programmes of Activities (PoA), which e.g. bundle high numbers of appliances such as...
It is widely accepted that agricultural development will be severely curtailed without addressing the risks and capitalizing on the opportunities posed by climate change (FAO, 2010b). The agriculture sector must adapt to the impacts of climate change in order to provide food security to the world’s
growing population. At the same time agriculture must mitigate its contributions to climate...
Respect for the rights of women and girls worldwide continues to lag behind that for the rights of men.

This handbook is designed to help those conducting research supporting such advice. Underlying the research are two fundamental questions: “What does climate change mean to us?” and “What might be...
CARE is implementing Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) projects that target the world's most vulnerable populations and integrating climate change into our ongoing development work. This working brief summarises CARE's two-track approach to adaptation and explains why we thing both are...
It is critical to integrate, or “mainstream” thinking about climate change into development strategies, plans and programmes. This is especially true when pursuing goals that are most likely to be affected by the impacts of climate change, such as greater access to safe drinking water, healthy ecosystems or food
security.
This Toolkit offers practical, “...
Great ape tourism, if well implemented, can serve to conserve the species but it can also have considerable negative impacts if it is not based on sound conservation principles. These guidelines have been developed for both existing and potential great apes tourism sites that wish to improve the degree to which their programme contributes to the conservation rather than the exploitation...
