Explore resources from Weathering Risk, including assessments, studies, roadmaps, climate risk profiles, practical notes, mapping exercises, policy papers and infographics. 

 

Assessments, studies and roadmaps explore the effects of climate change impacts and environmental challenges, identify key climate and environmental security pathways and provide actionable recommendations and entry points for governments, UN agencies, donors, civil society, international organisations and key context-specific actors. 

 

Climate risk profiles provide forward-looking data on a region's climate with the goal of supporting resilience-oriented short to long-term planning. Weathering Risk climate risk profiles summarise projected climate parameters and related sectoral impacts under different emissions scenarios. These profiles are used in assessments, studies and roadmaps.

    Climate Impact Profile: South Caucasus

    The South Caucasus region (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
