Informing climate-resilient development: the application of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in PACC programme - experiences and lessons learned on capacity building (PTR1)
This report (PACC Technical Report 1 - PTR1) sets out the evaluation findings of the capacity-building components of the PACC CBA work programme. A separate report, PACC Technical Report no. 2, sythesises the CBA reports completed under the work programme, and assesses the effectiveness of these CBAs for improving selection and design of the PACC pilot projects.
Background paper - Pacific Cost-Benefit Analysis Initiative (P-CBA)
Purpose

It seeks expressions of interest to participate in a proposed strategic capacity building program as a way to support Pacific island governments achieve informed decision making.
Informing climate-resilient development: the application of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in PACC programme - experiences and lessons learned in the application of CBA to PACC demonstation projects (PTR2)
This report has been developed to summarise and communicate the key outputs and learnings of the cost-benefit analysis (CBA) work programme as part of the Global Environment Facility's Special Climate Change Fund (GEF-SCCF) and AusAID-funded Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) programme.
TACC Uganda – Climate Profiles and Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment
This report presents an assessment of meteorological data, descriptions of the current climate and an assessment of climate projections and vulnerability to climate change for the Mbale region of Uganda.
TACC Uganda – Analysis of Adaptation and Mitigation Options
The study analyses the adaptation and mitigation options for the Mbale region of Uganda with the aim of providing information for the design of the Integrated Territorial Climate Plan (ITCP). The ITCP in turn, will offer the region an effective response to climate change that is tailored to local circumstances.
Making Climate Information Work for Agricultural Development - World Politics Review - Hansen 2012
Agricultural production depends heavily on the climate, particularly in developing countries where rainfed agriculture is predominant. Therefore, information about changing environmental conditions is essential for any decision-maker in agriculture.
Buying Time: A Users Manual for Building Resistance and Resilience to Climate Change in Natural Systems (WWF)
A vast array of scientific literature now makes it abundantly clear that the climate is changing and ecosystems are being affected by these changes. Much as awareness has been raised about invasive species, environmental contaminants, altered hydrology, and habitat fragmentation, conservation practitioners must now address cli- mate change. This manual, developed by the World Wildlife Federation, aims to assist natural resource and protected area managers as they begin to consider how to respond to this growing threat.
