climate change

As COP29 approaches, development economics can provide useful tools and insights to help tackle climate change.

The global environment for development has changed, so development policies should change too. This podcast looks back at predictions from 2018, and discusses what the current geopolitical situation means for future growth policy.

Climate change is projected to cause an increase in numerous forms of violent human behaviour. Policies like a robust social safety net and political inclusion can help ensure a more peaceful future.

Climate change is increasing the severity and incidence of extreme weather events. How can policymakers help build farmer resilience to these shocks?

The first episode of Development Dialogues, our new series with Yale's Economic Growth Center, explores how climate finance can reach those who need it most.

Anthropogenic climate change will likely intensify the negative environmental impacts of agriculture through powerful feedback loops. This has important implications for development research, policy and R&D investment.

Amidst rapid urbanisation and climate change, evidence on urban expansion and flood exposure can help policymakers increase climate resilience in the world’s cities.

Machine learning and satellite data can help capture how households respond and adapt to floods. Providing better quality information can make climate change adaptation more efficient.
