2015 is a critical year for the international community, supported by science and practice, to work towards a new development finance regime, towards sustainable development goals for all, and an ambitious climate agreement in Paris. At the heart of these discussions is human welfare and resilience, and how to secure livelihoods for people that are highly exposed to the impacts of climate change in vulnerable countries.
