A series of WHO policy briefings on the health co-benefits of climate change mitigation summarises initial key findings and identifies expected health impacts from policies to mitigate climate change in the housing, transport, household energy and the health sector. The briefings focus on the mitigation policies reviewed in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and propose important health co-benefits for consideration in the next round of IPCC mitigation reviews in preparation of the Fifth Assessment Report.

This report brings together the experience, knowledge and insight gleaned from almost 15 years of working on adaptation. While the report focuses on UKCIP’s (UK Climate Impacts Programme0 activities since 2005, it also encompasses the broader sweep of UKCIP’s work from 1997. More than most, UKCIP has been in midst of adaptation activity, working to act as a bridge between the stakeholders grappling with the relatively new task of adapting to an uncertain (but different) future climate and the scientists presenting technical information about the uncertain (but quantified) future climate.

The inaugural Annual Report of the carbonn Cities Climate Registry (cCCR) was presented to the UNFCCC 17th Conference of the Parties and the global climate community assembled in Durban to reflect the determination of cities to pursue climate actions and to inspire ambitious commitments at the negotiations.is an initial step by local governments to collectively share with the global climate community their contributions to measurable, reportable and verifiable climate action. Over the past year, 51 cities, diverse in geography, economies, size and structure, have voluntarily submitted a range of climate data, presented and analyzed in this report in an easily accessible format.

This is the first paper in the new IIED Climate Change Working Paper series. As adaptation to climate change becomes the focus of increasing attention and the target of significant spending, there is a growing need for frameworks and tools that enable organisations to track and assess the outcomes of adaptation interventions. This paper presents a framework for climate change adaptation programming, including potential indicators, for tracking and evaluating the success of adaptation support and adaptation interventions.
