GLOSSARYHydromet systems: Hydrometeorological systems for recording and analyzing dataon hydrology and meteorology, such as river flows, precipitation, and temperature.Hyogo Framework for Action: A global action plan for reducing disaster losses,adopted at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction.Index insurance: A form of insurance where payouts are conditioned on an externalobservable index measure, such as the amount of rain at a particular weather stationover a specified period.Mainstreaming: The process of integrating climate risks and adaptation issues intotraditional sectoral development and investment practice.Maladaptation: Any changes in natural or human systems that inadvertentlyincrease vulnerability to climatic stimuli; an adaptation that does not succeed inreducing vulnerability, but increases it instead. (McCarthy, Canziani and others2001)Mitigation: (1) reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere; (2)when used in the context of climate risks, refers to mitigation of risks.No-regret actions/Low-regret actions: Actions that provide net benefits undercurrent climatic conditions and under possible future climate conditions. Low-regretactions may not provide net benefits under some possible but unlikely futureclimate conditions.Resilience: The ability of a system to resist shocks, particularly climate shocks.Robust actions: A synonym for no-regret/low-regret actions.Robust decision making: A decision-making technique that emphasizes reducingthe potential for regret by selecting options that perform well over a large set ofpossible future scenarios.Safety net: A social program designed to provide cash or non-cash benefits to thoseaffected by negative shocks.Soft risk reduction: Risk reduction undertaken through ecologically based methods,including use of wetlands to reduce flood risk, planting trees or other vegetation toreduce landslide risk, and planting mangroves to protect coastal areas from stormsurge.ix
GLOSSARYSustainable land management: A knowledge-based procedure that helps integrateland, water, biodiversity, and environmental management (including input andoutput externalities) to meet rising food and fiber demands while sustainingecosystem services and livelihoods. (World Bank 2006)Vulnerability: The degree to which a system is susceptible to and unable to copewith the adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability andextremes. Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climatechange and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptivecapacity. (IPCC 2007)Transformational change: A dramatic state of change, after which current activitiesmay no longer be feasible.Yield gap: The gap between actual and achievable yields of a staple crop.x
