| The Climate Resilient Development (CRD) Programme carries out research, methodology development, capacity building and implementation of actions and strategies to reduce the vulnerability and enhance the climate resilience of developing countries. To strengthen the capacity for climate risk management, it works with academic and public and private partners in developing countries, as well as internationally, on development and application of analytical frameworks for assessing climate change impacts and vulnerability, and to identify and evaluate response options.
By developing and testing new analytical approaches, this Programme has facilitated enhanced integration of information about climate change, climate variability and related costs into projects and policies, in line with the Programme’s overall objective to support the implementation of UNEP’s Programme of Work on climate change adaptation:
“Adaptation planning, financing and cost-effective preventive actions are increasingly incorporated into national development processes.” |
