Action Pledge: Climate Risk Management (CRM) technical assistance project (received
in April 2009)
The objective of this project is to develop and apply a methodology that integrates risk over short
and longer-term time scales to arrive at an assessment of risk associated with both climate
variability and change. The results will feed into a set of selected country programmes as well
as inform the practice of climate risk management in general.

Action Pledge: Community-based adaptation (received in March 2009)
It is increasingly recognized that small communities are likely to be the most severely affected by
climate change impacts and yet are least equipped to cope and adapt. This pilot project is designed
to implement community-based projects that seek to enhance the resiliency of communities, and/or the
ecosystems on which they rely, to climate change impacts. It will essentially create small-scale
‘project/policy laboratories’ and generate knowledge about how to achieve adaptation at
the local level.

Action Pledge: Developing country-level climate profiles (received in August
2008) - completed
see http://country-profiles.geog.ox.ac.uk/
The aim of this project is to provide a set of country-level climate profiles including historic
trend and projected future changes using outputs from the most up to date Global Climate Model (GCM)
experiments and robust analytical tools.
This pledge contributes to the areas of work climate modeling, scenarios and downscaling and
research and technologies for adaptation

Applying climate information for adaptation decision-making (3304 kB) ,
A guidance and resource document
The aim of this project is to provide
- An overview of diverse needs for climate information within varying adaptation decision contexts,
and state-of-the-art in climate information availability and their robustness;
- Guidance on the selection of existing climate information in support of adaptation; and
- Resources for deriving relevant climate information.

Action Pledge: Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) (received in August 2008) -
completed
see http://www.adaptationlearning.net/ (Beta
version)
The Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) supports evolving efforts to integrate adaptation to climate
change in development planning by providing a knowledge-sharing platform that accelerates the process
of learning through experience. The ALM draws upon experiences on the ground and features tools and
practical guidance. It makes available the Country Adaptation Profiles, which provide essential
information for planning adaptation for more than 140 countries.
This pledge contributes to the areas of work methods and tools and adaptation planning
and practices
