Adaptation & Vulnerability
Description: We are assisting the Sudanese Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources (HCENR) in developing implementation strategies for the highest priority adaptation project identified in the NAPA report. In 2009, SEI developed a project proposal submitted to the GEF's Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF), to support pilot adaptation projects in five vulnerable areas across Sudan. The project focuses on building resilience and adaptive capacity in the agricultural sector and in water resource management.

Adaptation & Vulnerability
Description: Agricultural water management technology transfer is being increasingly promoted for poverty alleviation in the smallholder farming systems that dominate rural areas in many developing countries. This project aimed to identify agricultural water management innovations in Northeast Thailand and understand the networks through which innovation is transferred. It also identified lessons learned from this case study that could inform agricultural water management innovation tracking in other countries.

Adaptation & Vulnerability
Description: Originating as an initiative within the Pennsylvania governor's office, a climate change action plan is being developed to address the increasing GHG emissions in the state. We partnered with the Center of Climate Strategies to create an inventory and forecast for greenhouse gases emitted from electricity generation in Pennsylvania. This work also included an analysis of GHG emissions from coal mine methane in Pennsylvania. Through the guidance of a group of stakeholders, we were able to create a forecast to serve as a baseline for the climate change action plan.
