IRI and the University of Arizona address climate vulnerability in most at-risk areas of the world in new project.
The Caribbean, Asia’s Indo-Gangetic Plain and West Africa are three regions known to be extremely vulnerable to climate variability and change, particularly to droughts, extreme weather events and stresses on food production, water resources and coastal areas. A new five-year project jointly led by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society and the University of Arizona aims to strengthen climate resilience in these regions using strategies in the sectors of water resources, hazard risk management and coastal planning and management.
The IRAP Project website was launched this month as a means to provide access to background information, vulnerability and impact assessments, prototype maps and visualization tools, descriptions and summaries of project events and opportunities for partnerships.
