APAN Information Brief - Issue 1, 2024: How should we tackle the Loss and Damage Fund?

This APAN Information Brief highlights the outcomes and recommendations gathered from the webinar, “Tackling the Loss and Damage Fund: Dialogue on the Funds operationalization, challenges and opportunities,” held on 19 March 2024, aimed to enhance adaptation practitioners’ understanding of the Loss and Damage Fund as a new finance mechanism. The webinar initiated a dialogue on strategic actions necessary to enhance the Fund’s impact in the region. The session identified actionable steps for Asia-Pacific countries and stakeholders on tackling the Loss and Damage Fund ahead of COP29. The webinar was organised and hosted by the UNEP- Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN), UNFCCC Regional Collaboration Center for Asia and the Pacific (UNFCCC – RCC) and Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP).

A Pacific community resilience framework: Exploring a holistic perspective through a strengths-based approach and systems thinking

Abstract: The impacts of climate change in the Pacific and worldwide have prompted researchers and practitioners to find ways to define, assess and support community resilience. This paper presents a community resilience framework to help meet this challenge. While traditional framings of resilience in scholarship are often based on deficit models that focus on vulnerability and gaps, this framework draws on strengths-based principles and systems thinking approaches to support a holistic and integrated perspective of community resilience. Pacific community resilience literature underpins the framework, which values and prioritises diverse community insights to support locally defined pathways towards adaptation and resilience building. We offer examples of future application of the framework in a range of contexts such as research, programme design, strategic policy, programme implementation or evaluation.

Synchronizing Energy Transitions Towards Possible Net-Zero for India

Prepared by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, this report attempts to answer key questions related to India’s energy trajectory such as how much energy does India need to achieve the high value of Human Development Index (HDI); what are pathways to achieve this; what are the energy mix projections for this until 2070 (our declared net-zero target year); what would be the cost of electricity to the end user; what would be the carbon emissions until 2070; what would be the investments required for energy transitions towards net-zero at 2070; estimation of other challenges and opportunities (RE integration, the requirement of critical minerals, Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), natural gas, ethanol, hydrogen) in energy transitions towards achieving net-zero in 2070.
