‘Supporting flood Forecast-based Action and Learning’ (SUFAL) project was designed to contribute to reducing the adverse impacts of the increasing frequency of catastrophic flooding on the vulnerable and poor communities through Forecast-based Action (FbA).

The HCTT Nexus Strategy for Climate-related Disasters 2021-2025 is a humanitarian preparedness and response strategy developed to support the National Plan for Disaster Management (NPDM) 2021-25.

This brief tries to establish an eco-hydrological perspective on floods. It suggests devising a policy response which considers four dimensions of hydrological interactions within the river-floodplain ecosystems – lateral, longitudinal, vertical and temporal.

This paper addresses the challenges of tackling climate change with nature-based solutions (NbS) in Bangladesh. Lower income countries such as Bangladesh face severe climate threats such as floods, droughts, storms and heat waves.

This research was commissioned to analyse the issues and additional considerations around gender in Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) programming.

The editorial captures how climate change is putting food production at risk, and how disasters affect food security and the agriculture sector as a whole.
