A Guide for Building Climate Resilience in Urban Informal Settlements
Discover resources for locally-led, inclusive, multisectoral upgrading for climate resilience in urban informal settlements in this guide. It aims to support a range of stakeholders to both build climate resilience in informal settlements and link locally led action with broader processes of urban and climate governance.

This manual supports adaptation decision-makers in government institutions, international agencies, civil society and other development partners to identify and prioritize adaptation solutions.
Participate! Online Course
“Participate!” is a free, interactive, online training module developed by SEI and the Red Cross Climate Centre to support the design of more effective science, policy, and practice events.
Foresight for policy & decision-makers
This report explores the potential role of foresight in integrating DRR and CCA through an analysis of 20 of the most common foresight methods.
Conceptualizing community resilience to natural hazards – the emBRACE framework
This paper describes the emBRACE framework of community resilience - a heuristic analytical tool for understanding, explaining and measuring community resilience to natural hazards.
Managing Complex Systems
This paper shows how 'structured output' methods can ‘abstract’ important issues and concepts and feed into planning and policy outputs.
Climate Vulnerability and Risk Assessment for the Indian Himalayan Region
This manual provides a common framework for climate vulnerability and risk assessment, a methodology for its application and guidelines for mainstreaming adaptation planning in development plans.
ALivE Planning Tool
ALivE is a computer-based tool designed to support its users in organising and analysing information to plan effective Ecosystem-based Adaptation options within a broader planning process.
Co-producing climate knowledge
'Co-production’ of climate knowledge is far from easy to achieve in practice. This article looks at what we mean by 'co-production', the challenges involved, and how we can move forward.
Climate Knowledge Brokers
The Climate Knowledge Brokers (CKB) Group is a growing alliance of around 400 leading global, regional and national knowledge brokers specialising in climate and development information.
Designing Knowledge Coproduction for Climate and Development
This paper explores the ways climate and development researchers are using knowledge co-production approaches and the extent to which the approaches are reaching their potential.
Urban Resilience Roadmap
This interactive process map has been developed as a tool to help cities, government agencies, and development partners better navigate a course for building resilience.
Gender Sourcebook: Integrating Gender into Proposals
This online sourcebook aims to help ensure that gender considerations and women’s empowerment are incorporated into large-scale climate change adaptation projects.
Sustainable development publications, tools and approaches
