EVIDENCE-BASED CLIMATE ADVISORY WITH CARE

Enabling transformative responses to climate change.

Climate Fair Futures is a small practice working with organisations, governments and communities to design fair, evidence-led responses to climate-induced Loss and Damage (L&D).

ABOUT

Principled, quality-oriented technical expertise.

Climate Fair Futures’ (CFF) mission is to support climate-affected countries and communities in accessing resources and developing inclusive measures to protect and rebuild livelihoods, cultures, and territories on equitable terms.

To do so, we provide research and advisory services driven by excellence and grounded in principles of care, integrity, fairness, and ownership.

Care

Recognising differential needs and vulnerabilities, we emphasise empathy, intercultural communication, and participation on equal footing.

Integrity

Building trust, mutual respect and valuing depth over speed. We believe quality work stems from deep engagement, exchange and iteration.

Fairness

Working towards a fairer world for those who are disproportionately affected by the adverse effects of climate change.

Ownership

Enhancing ownership over data, tools and systems to ensure climate change responses are country-led and community-driven.

Loss & Damage

Understanding the problem.

Climate Fair Futures responds to growing calls for greater efforts to assess, track, and address escalating climate-induced Loss and Damage (L&D) by harnessing a unique approach to methodological integration, knowledge creation and collaboration.

Accounting for uncertainty

Climate change impacts are being felt across the world and will continue to accelerate and intensify. Climate impacts occur along complex spatiotemporal scales that defy disciplinary boundaries and entails substantial uncertainty. Systems must be built flexibly to measure and address ongoing and future L&D.

Beyond disaster risk and adaptation

The adverse impacts of climate change are interconnected and cannot be confined to sectoral silos. L&D surpass the limits of conventional disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, necessitating systemic shifts and an integrative approach.

Navigating value trade-offs

Climate change affects both tangible and intangible assets with diverse value implications for people, the environment, and societies. Some losses and damages can be measured and quantified. Others must be accounted for in alternative ways. Only by engaging with those affected by climate change can L&D be defined, measured and acted on.

Approach

Connecting climate science and policy with lived experiences.

Evidence-generation

We match evidence-generating tools with the priorities and needs of knowledge holders and custodians. We work with our clients to generate credible and targeted L&D evidence using scientifically robust, inclusive tools and building transparent data systems, balancing functionality with needs. Properly curated, evidence makes visible the experiences of frontline countries and communities, informs responses, and guides resource allocation.

Knowledge co-production

Our approach centres on translating and integrating L&D knowledge through participatory, innovative multistakeholder engagement services and dialogue. We pay particular attention to the diverse forms of knowledge that underlie measurements, decision-making and action.

Capacity-mobilisation

We work across sectoral and disciplinary divides to mobilise capacities and expertise. Building on existing systems, networks and institutional knowledge, we collaboratively design tools and interventions with local communities, governments and organisations to effectively respond to different types of climate-induced L&D.
