    Addressing energy needs in the context of disaster risks and climate change. Safe Access to Fuel and Energy Briefing Note
    Ensuring safe and sustainable access to energy for vulnerable populations in the face of natural hazards

    The increasing frequency and severity of disasters caused by natural hazards exerts pressure on existing energy resources. A key challenge in the coming decades is to ensure safe and sustainable access to energy for vulnerable populations in the face of these shocks, especially for populations who predominantly depend on solid biomass (e.g. fuelwood, charcoal and agricultural residues) for domestic energy needs.

    Reforestation to mitigate changes to climate: More than just planting seedlings

    Global interest in reforestation to help mitigate climate change is increasing demand for nursery-produced seedlings. Often governments, the public, and non-profit organizations simplify reforestation to the physical act of tree planting without comprehension of the entirety of the process needed for reforestation to be successful. A range of tasks from planning to implementation to post-planting monitoring and care are necessary (i.e., the reforestation pipeline). And, often, a one-size-fits-all approach to reforestation is promoted without appreciation for the diversity of ecosystems needing restoration, exacerbated by climatic uncertainties that challenge reforestation conducted status quo. While some recent attention has focused attention on the reforestation pipeline, considering a climate-smart, or climate-informed approach to reforestation in conjunction with a smooth transition from initial tree planting to on-going forest management to support long-term resilience has yet to be fully explored. Considering reforestation more holistically and through a climate lens could provide more effective reforestation and increase the trajectory for achieving long-term climate, carbon, biodiversity, and social goals expected from initial tree planting efforts.
