This analytical document presents some of the potential impacts of the different manifestations of climate change on transport networks, paying particular emphasis identifying issues pertinent to transport infrastructure in the ECE region and taking into account the different modes of transportation. It also provides a summary of available adaptation responses.

This technical document presents recommendations for improving the statistics related to climate change collected by national statistical systems and enhancing their utility for the compilation of greenhouse gas inventories.

This policy document offers recommendations to the UNFCCC on how Carbon Capture Use and Storage, including carbon capture and storage for enhanced recovery of hydrocarbons, can positively contribute to net climate change mitigation outcomes as part of the policy portfolio established to support the post-2015 instrument.

This guidance document highlights best policy practices for promoting energy efficiency in the UNECE region and beyond. It presents a structured framework of policies and measures to promote energy efficiency investments for climate change mitigation and sustainable development, as well as to develop a menu of energy efficiency policies and measures.

This guidance document is developed to provide participants in UN Women’s Master Class (MC) on a “Rights-based approach to Gender and Climate Change”, took place from 15-18 June 2014 in Tangail, Bangladesh. The document can serve now as a background and training material for similar workshops and events on the theme of gender and climate change from a rights-based approach. It is updated based on the discussions and outcomes of the Master Class, so that it can inform other groups and individuals active in the field of gender and/or climate change in Bangladesh and elsewhere.

This technical document provides a comprehensive situational analysis of women in three eco-zones – flood, cyclone, and drought prone. Focus of the study was to identify viable livelihoods for the women affected by climate change.

This guidance document presents the vulnerabilities of women in flood, cyclone, and drought prone areas in the face of climate change. The document finds that women face more difficulties when exposed to climate change and disasters. Recommendations for this report point to the need for disaster risk reduction and climate change to address the inequalities in the household and the community to lessen women’s vulnerability.

This activity report provides a kit of good practices for the more than 100 women living in oases in the south-eastern province of Errachidia who have found a unique way to both earn and income and mitigate the effects of climate change on their environment by producing medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs).

This guidance document synthesizes and integrates material contained within the IPCC reports during the 5th Assessment Report period, including Working Group reports and Special Reports. It is written in a non-technical style suitable for policymakers and addresses a broad range of policy-relevant but policy-neutral questions.

This actkvivity report presents IPCC Expert Meeting on Potential Studies of the IPCC Process in Geneva, Switzerland 28-29 January 2015. The document shows a set of recommendations to the IPCC on how to address public requests for access to IPCC data and information as well as researchers` requests to participate in IPCC meetings to produce studies on the IPCC process.

This activity report aims to summarize findings on IPCC Expert Meeting, Dublin, Ireland 27-29 May 2015, which considered options for future IPCC work on the topic of Climate Change, Food and Agriculture, including food security. 

This technical document showcases the experiences of selected enterprises in implementing green business models. The document aims to contribute to the knowledge sharing and analysis that will lead to the shaping of inclusive green jobs strategies for decent work promotion in Turkey’s transition to a greener economy.

This guidance documet presents challenges of achieving environmental sustainability and of generating decent work for all are closely linked. The document argues that goal of environmentally sustainable economies will not be attained without the active contribution of the world of work.

This guidance document presents the implications of climate change on labour markets in terms of effects on employment and incomes. It then provides an illustration of practical intervention models and tools for climate adaption and mitigation which advance social protection floor, reduce the carbon footprint of enterprises and create decent work as part of a just transition for all.

This policy document draws the attention of policy-makers and social partners in least developed countries to the role of skills development in facilitating the building of greener economies, as a way to achieve sustainable development and poverty eradication. The document is based on research applied in policy design and numerous case studies of country experiences and good practices.

This analytical document explores the implications of climate change, its impacts on the world of work and the need for the work of the International Labour Office to adapt to it. The document takes stocks of the on-going work and identifies the needs for further development.

This guidance document describes how International Labour Standards could be made more relevant to climate change in terms of its impact on employment and the labourmarket. The document addresses the transition to a low carbon economy through a framework of policy coherence and good governance using International Labour Standards as guidelines for supporting not only the social dimension of sustainable development,but the economic and environmental ones as well.

This analytical document shows a trend towards a reduction in the rates of deforestation and carbon emissions from forests and increases in capacity for sustainable forest management. The document provides two broad conclusions: 1) there is a wealth of reliable information today on the situation of the world’s forests; and 2) the direction of change is positive, with many impressive examples of progress in all regions of the world.

This slide presentation has been designed for colleagues working in the agriculture sectors who want to understand more about the NAMA concept and increase their capacity to contribute to national and global climate change mitigation goals. It provides clear, easy to follow guidance on the identification, development and implementation of country specific climate change mitigation actions in the AFOLU sector.

This guidance document presents that production of bioenergy in Integrated Food-Energy Systems (IFES) is one of such good practices since these systems meet both food and energy demands. This document also includes an analytical framework which serves to screen different IFES options systematically and helps to define which IFES systems are sustainable and replicable.
