“…Climate information is applied across spatial contexts. Even though most research focuses on development of models in developing countries, such as in Central and West Africa (Braman et al , 2012; Cornforth, 2012; Djibo et al , 2015; Dunning et al , 2016; MacLeod et al , 2020; Siegmund et al , 2015; Tanessong et al , 2020) and South Asia (Dinnissen et al , 2020; Nissan et al , 2020), there are also efforts to develop models for Europe (Sirdas et al , 2006). In a smaller scale, most literature focuses on rural context.…”

“…Climate information is used in humanitarian operations in response to different types of natural disasters (Altay and Narayanan, 2020), including drought (Boult et al , 2020; Brown et al , 2007; Brown, 2009; Krishnamurthy et al , 2020; Vicente-Serrano et al , 2012), flooding (Braman et al , 2012; Cornforth, 2012; Djibo et al , 2015; Koriche and Rientjes, 2016; Siegmund et al , 2015; Tanessong et al , 2020; Wu et al , 2020; Yossef et al , 2013), storms (Cuaton and Su, 2020; Emerton et al , 2020; Kuleshov et al , 2020; Robertson et al , 2020) and heat waves (Dinnissen et al , 2020; Nissan et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aims to provide a systematic literature review of the state-of-the-art applications of climate information in humanitarian relief efforts, to further the knowledge of how climate science can be better integrated into the decision-making process of humanitarian supply chains. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted using a combination of key search terms developed from both climate science and humanitarian logistics literature. Articles from four major databases were retrieved, reduced and analyzed. Findings The study illustrates the status of application of climate information in humanitarian work, and identifies usability, collaboration and coordination as three key themes. Originality/value By delivering an overview of the current applications and challenges of climate information, this literature review proposes a three-phase conceptual framework.

“…While FbF provides some advances from previous EC arrangements; both in terms of the measures used to assess assistance (Coughlan de Perez et al 2015 , 2016 ; Wilkinson et al 2018 ), and the implementation of detailed SOPs and greater proactivity (Dinnissen et al 2020 ), in a market economy such as Australia a FbF model may act contrary to the encouragement for greater self-reliance and resilience in farming communities (Gray et al 2014 ; Greenville 2020 ). This is because FbF assistance is delivered to certain households and communities that are assessed as being vulnerable.…”

“…When managing and responding to natural hazards, the humanitarian sector has observed a shift from crisis management towards predictive and anticipatory approaches (Coughlan de Perez et al 2015 ). Forecast-based Financing (FbF) is one such approach that has been well received by humanitarian agencies (Dinnissen et al 2020 ; Wilkinson et al 2018 ). This method specifically focuses on providing assistance to community members and households who are most vulnerable to natural hazards, where vulnerability is determined through an assessment of available data ranging from the region’s climate vulnerability to socio-economic factors (Dinnissen et al 2020 ).…”

Improving drought resilience in Northern Murray-Darling Basin farming communities: Is forecast-based financing suitable?

et al. 2021

A trend towards drier conditions during the April to October ‘cool’ season across southern Australia has been observed in the past few decades. Frequent and prolonged droughts have a significant impact on the financial stability of affected farming communities. Forecast-based Financing (FbF) is a novel proactive aid approach that provides support measures to increase resilience during the window between drought early warnings, and the actual onset and intensification of drought. Using the Northern Murray-Darling Basin as a case study, we investigated whether FbF combined with a user-centred Integrated Early Warning System (I-EWS) for drought has the potential to increase the drought resilience of Australian farming communities. This study shows that farming businesses most impacted by drought have three common factors: (i) lower levels of business management skills, (ii) lower levels of pre-drought preparedness during non-drought periods, and (iii) slower responses when the intensity of drought increases. The results suggest that FbF in its current form is not recommended for a market economy such as Australia, as forms of direct assistance may have adverse long-term effects through disrupting the market itself and may not encourage farm operators to regularly assess and adapt their drought management strategies. Results also suggest that providing farmers, service providers, and all levels of government with tools that incorporate a user-centred I-EWS for drought can improve overall decision-making before, during, and even after drought. This change from a reactive to a proactive approach to managing drought impacts can be a highly effective form of increasing the drought resilience of farming communities.
