Stories from our partners
Graduate students from Harvard University undertake a capstone project in the Hindu Kush Himalayan subregion
 
 
Graduate students of Harvard University (John F. Kennedy School of Government) implemented a capstone project in the Hindu Kush Himalayan subregion. The research addressed a lack of access to awareness-raising products and early warning systems for multiple hazards, a knowledge gap identified under the LAKI. The students collaborated with a UNFCCC regional partner, the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development.
Graduate students from the University of Michigan develop a climate scenario planning toolkit


Graduate students from the University of Michigan (School for Environment and Sustainability) conducted a research study in collaboration with the University of Namibia to help increase the resilience of farmers in subsistence farming communities in northeastern Namibia. The project resulted in a climate scenario planning toolkit that will help identify the impacts that potential climate conditions may have in the region on subsistence farming practices. The students addressed a persisting knowledge gap concerning agricultural security in the region.
Graduate students from the University of Michigan undertake a capstone project in Seychelles


Graduate students from the University of Michigan (School for Environment and Sustainability) undertook a project with the Seychelles Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change, National Bureau of Statistics, and Department of Risk and Disaster Management. The students worked on addressing two knowledge gaps: the impacts of sea-level rise and storm surge on critical infrastructure in Seychelles.
 
Graduate students from Yale University undertake climate action in Peru

Graduate Students from Yale University (School of Forestry and Environmental Studies) designed a project in the Peruvian Andes focusing on measuring ecosystem-based adaptation. The study resulted in six good monitoring, evaluation, and learning practices. The project was conducted in partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) and The Mountain Institute (TMI).
Graduate students from the Yale School of the Environment undertake capstone projects in Peru and Nepal
andes picture.png

Graduate students from the Yale School of the Environment conducted their master’s thesis on ecosystem-based adaptation and water resources focusing on two mountain regions in Nepal and Peru. The students collaborated with the Mountain Institute and the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The project resulted in five challenges and three good practices for both regions to facilitate the implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation.
Graduate students from Wageningen University undertake capstone project on agriculture in Africa
 
 
Six graduate students from the NWP partner, Wageningen University, conducted a research project to assess the co-benefits of adaptation measures for the agriculture sector across the six African regions. The students undertook a literature review and conducted interviews with regional agriculture experts to gather information for the research leading to the development of a multi-criteria analysis framework to assess co-benefits that focused on climate change mitigation and socio-economic wellbeing. This framework can be used by agricultural practitioners from across Africa and be benchmarked by other regions.
