Our projects

The IsLanD Advancement project aims to improve access to loss and damage finance in the Caribbean through better data and awareness raising.

This project strengthens the resilience of Pacific Island nations by enhancing the understanding, measurement, and response to climate-related loss and damage – including non-economic losses. Through a community-driven approach, it develops tools, projections, and valuation methods to inform national priorities, improve access to climate finance, and safeguard the livelihoods and identities of affected communities.

CLOSER will investigate how climate change, land use, social vulnerability and policy decisions shape climate disasters. By connecting attribution science, forecasting and impact assessment, the project aims to help decision-makers anticipate disasters and reduce their impacts.

When climate impacts hit, there are those who don’t, or can’t, leave. The Immobility in a changing climate (ITHACA) project looks at the choices and constraints that lead to people’s immobility in the face of climate change, and what ramifications that has for their lives.

SLICE is investigating Short and Long-Term Impacts of Climate Extremes and aims to develop a systematic understanding of the channels through which climate extremes impact socio-economic development all the way from the household to the macroeconomic level. This will help developing effective strategies for long-term economic development under climate change.
