Agricultural microinsurance is currently being tested in a wide variety of settings to support smallholder farmers in developing countries in coping with the effects of climate change, such as droughts, floods, or increased frequency and severity of infestations. This paper shows that microinsurance can also help smallholders to adapt to climate change.

This paper summarises the clarifications made in Doha for surplus units under the Kyoto Protocol and uses a unit trade model to estimate the effective emissions in the second commitment period.

This report analysis how the 2°C goal has affected global climate ambition and makes the case for increasing this goal to 1.5°C due to the projected increased severity of climate impacts and the required ambition to counter the speed of climate change.

The second report in the Turn down the heat series looks at the likely impacts on three vulnerable regions if the world continues on its current trajectory and warms by 2°C over pre-industrial times by mid-century and continues to become 4°C warmer by 2100.
