Keynote – Towards enhanced evidence synthesis: learning from the health science
H 0104Andrew Haines is a Professor of Environmental Change and Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Key messages: Rigorous evidence synthesis is crucial for effective, efficient, and equitable climate action that safeguards both human and planetary health. Climate actions often yield significant human health co-benefits that are frequently overlooked, emphasizing the… Continue reading Keynote – Towards enhanced evidence synthesis: learning from the health science
Keynote – Living evidence & other frontiers in evidence synthesis – providing tailored evidence when it is needed
H 0104Julian Elliott is the founder of the Future Evidence Foundation (producer of Covidence) and the Alliance for Living Evidence (Alive), and a Professor at Cochrane Australia within Monash University’s School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine (Australia). Key messages: The evidence ecosystem in health has not always been as we know it today. It has… Continue reading Keynote – Living evidence & other frontiers in evidence synthesis – providing tailored evidence when it is needed
Keynote – Rigorous policy evaluations to support effective climate policies
H 0104Rohini Pande is Henry Heinz II Professor of Economics and Director of the Economic Growth Center and Inclusion Economics at Yale University. Key messages: Rigorous instrument evaluations are critical to support effective, efficient and equitable evidence-based climate policies. Climate policy evaluations can help us to understand what climate solutions work, under what conditions and why… Continue reading Keynote – Rigorous policy evaluations to support effective climate policies
Keynote – What Works? IPCC evidence for understanding climate policy pathways and implementation
H 0104Jim Skea is IPCC Chair for the seventh assessment cycle, Chair of Scotland’s Just Transition Commission and Professor of Sustainable Energy at the Imperial College London (UK). Key messages: IPCC is a unique science-policy interface. Progress in international policy is directly linked to the various assessments by the IPCC synthesizing the state of scientific knowledge.… Continue reading Keynote – What Works? IPCC evidence for understanding climate policy pathways and implementation
Adaptation effectiveness decreases with increasing warming
At present, we have a limited understanding of the effectiveness of adaptation to reduce risks in a warming world, as adaptation remains insufficiently addressed in climate impact projections. Where projections exist, these are mostly assessed in case study settings. Based on a meta-review of projections of adaptation, we assess the ability of different modelled water-related… Continue reading Adaptation effectiveness decreases with increasing warming
Adaptive capacity in the water sector under socio-economic and climate uncertainty
Under the impelling challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and evolving socio-economic landscapes, the ability of water systems to adapt to changing conditions is critical for ensuring resilience and sustainable resource management. As various regions face escalating water scarcity and more intense occurrences of droughts and floods, many of these areas also grapple with… Continue reading Adaptive capacity in the water sector under socio-economic and climate uncertainty
Lessons from a decade of adaptation pathways studies
Adaptation pathways planning is an approach that maps the adaptation solution space over time to inform decision making under uncertainty. Since its first applications on climate change adaptation in the late ’10s several research studies and practical applications have used and extended the approach and discussed its benefits, limits and complexity. This presentation elaborates lessons… Continue reading Lessons from a decade of adaptation pathways studies
Adaptation opportunities for transformative adaptation pathways planning
Adaptation pathways provide an approach for long-term planning of adaptation under deep uncertainty by sequencing individual options over time while leaving future options open, depending on the speed and extent of climate change. Within an adaptation pathway, the implementation of a new option is traditionally triggered by (approaching) adaptation thresholds (also referred to as adaptation… Continue reading Adaptation opportunities for transformative adaptation pathways planning
