Vulnerability & Adaptation Database World Resources Institute The database brings together 135 examples of adaptation projects, policies, and other initiatives from the developing world. The cases can be sorted by region, country, scale, sector, settlement type, impacts, objective, ‘targetedness’, or strategies employed. http://projects.wri.org/adaptation-database RCP database International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis The RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) database aims at documenting the emissions, concentrations, and land-cover change projections of the RCPs. The Representative Concentration Pathways are based on selected scenarios from four modeling teams/models (NIES/AIM, IIASA/MESSAGE, PNNL/MiniCAM, and PBL/IMAGE). The RCPs are meant to serve as input for climate and atmospheric chemistry modeling as part of the preparatory phase for the development of new scenarios for the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report and beyond. Version 2.0 of the database includes harmonized and consolidated data for three of the four RCPs. http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web-apps/tnt/RcpDb/dsd?Action=htmlpage&page=welcome Earthtrends: Climate and Atmosphere database World Resources Institute EarthTrends is an online collection of information regarding the environmental, social, and economic trends that shape the world. http://earthtrends.wri.org/ IEA Databases of Policies and Measures: Energy efficiency International Energy Agency The database provides information on policies and measures taken or planned to improve energy efficiency. The database covers measures in IEA member countries, the European Union, as well as some information for non-member countries such as Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia and South Africa. http://www.iea.org/policiesandmeasures/energyefficiency/ IEA Databases of Policies and Measures: Climate change International Energy Agency The database offers access to information on energy-related policies and measures taken or planned to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. http://www.iea.org/policiesandmeasures/climatechange/ IEA Databases of Policies and Measures: Renewable energy International Energy Agency The database provides information on policies and measures taken or planned to encourage the uptake of renewable energy. http://www.iea.org/policiesandmeasures/renewableenergy/
