Within Reach
Despite global commitments made through the Paris Agreement in 2015 to combat climate change, their translation into national policies has been slow, raising concerns about the feasibility of achieving climate targets. While policies face many obstacles, the political economy is one of the primary impediments to climate action, and urgency to reduce emissions makes slow and gradual approach increasingly insufficient. The report attempts to identi…
Global evidence of rapid urban growth in flood zones since 1985
Flood exposure and poverty in 188 countries
Flooding is among the most prevalent natural hazards, with particularly disastrous impacts in low-income countries. This study presents global estimates of the number of people exposed to high flood risks in interaction with poverty. It finds that 1.81 billion people (23% of world population) are directly exposed to 1-in-100-year floods. Of these, 1.24 billion are located in South and East Asia, where China (395 million) and India (390 million) a…
Assessing carbon emission savings from corporate resource efficiency investments
The Nationally Determined Contributions pledged by numerous countries under the Paris Climate Agreement refer to efficiency gains as a key instrument for achieving carbon emission reductions. Indicators for estimating emission savings from resource efficiency projects can play a key role in identifying and prioritising projects. Building on existing emission factor-based approaches, this paper introduces a methodology which allows consistent ex -…
Three Feet Under
This paper analyses the degree to which infrastructure reliability and urban economic activity in several African cities is impacted by flooding. It combines firm-level micro data, flood maps, and several spatial data layers across cities through a harmonized geospatial network analysis. The analysis shows that a significant share of jobs in cities is directly affected by floods. It further details how transport infrastructure is subjected to sig…
The Last Mile
Governments now have access to a large and growing range of financing instruments for rapidlymobilizing funds in the aftermath of a disaster. Instruments like reserve funds, contingent linesof credit, and insurance programs are critical for financing relief, recovery and reconstruction efforts, and they have a demonstrated impact on the ability of governments to manage large-scale disasters. The availability of financial resources however, is onl…
