Climate Foresight Report

The SDC's Climate Foresight Report offers insights on how climate-related risks may impact SDC’s operational and strategic activities across its priority countries and regions. Adopting a people-centered approach, the report examines these risks in relation to regional stability, socioeconomic development, and their interconnected effects on water, food, energy, and health.

Lines of actions

Independently of whether C/D/E is mainstreamed or targeted, interventions can include and combine different action lines such as governance, finance, and concrete actions on the ground as well as awareness raising and capacity building. Additionally, and in particular with respect to climate and environment related impacts, one must not forget to look at one’s own institution and try to reduce one’s own institutional footprint.
