With support from the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) this Guide focuses on adaptation, mitigation & development. It particularly looks at the relationship between climate change and other development sectors such as agriculture & food security, natural resource management, poverty & vulnerability, governance, health, gender, finance, & low carbon energy.
- Use of photo-audio mediums: bringing climate research findings directly to East African farmers
-
Valuable research produced by Southern nations could help farmers adapt to climate change, but a conundrum is how to make useful research findings accessible to rural communities. A project conducted by the IDS in partnership with the Arid Lands Information Network (ALIN) sought to bridge this gap. Carolyn Fry from CDKN interviewed Fatema Rajabali, Climate Change Convenor at IDS, about the Climate photo-audio project, which explored the use of a form of digital storytelling to make research findings accessible to farmers in East Africa.
