    Community-Based Adaptation Toolkit

    CARE International, 2010
    Adaptation is now recognised as an essential part of the global response to climate change. Based on decades of experience, development actors are increasingly promoting a “community-based” approach that recognises the unique risks faced by poor and marginalised people, as well as their essential roles in planning, implementing, monitoring & evaluating (M&E) solutions.

    Toolkit for integrating climate change adaptation into development projects

    CARE International, 2010
    It is critical to integrate, or “mainstream” thinking about climate change into development strategies, plans and programmes. This is especially true when pursuing goals that are most likely to be affected by the impacts of climate change, such as greater access to safe drinking water, healthy ecosystems or foodsecurity.

    Adaptive social protection: mapping the evidence and policy context in the agriculture sector in South Asia

    Institute of Development Studies UK, 2010
    The concept of Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) refers to a series of measures which aims to build resilience of the poorest and most vulnerable people to climate change by combining elements of social protection (SP), disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in programmes and projects.  While these approaches have much in common, because they have developed separatel

    Responding to a changing climate: exploring how disaster risk reduction, social protection and livelihoods approaches promote features of adaptive capacity

    Overseas Development Institute, 2010
    How can humanitarian and development approaches help enhance communities’ capacity to adapt to a changing climate? This paper explores how interventions associated with disaster risk reduction (DRR), social protection (SP) and livelihoods (LH) approaches can play an important role in terms of climate adaptive capacity.

    Impacts and adaptations to climate change in the biodiversity sector in southern Africa

    Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change, 2006
    This study is about the vulnerability of aspects of biodiversity to climate change in South Africa. Three case studies were used to develop and test tools and methodologies for better understanding the response of species and ecosystems to the predicted impacts of climate change. The study makes a number of recommendations. National issues:

    Climate change and developing country agriculture: an overview of expected impacts, adaptation and mitigation challenges, and funding requirements

    International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council, USA, 2009
    Not only is the agricultural sector highly vulnerable to climate change, is it also one of the sectors most distorted and heavily influenced by a wide range of local, regional, national and international trade policies. The increased stress to the system brought about by climate change makes reform in global agricultural policies arguably even more important.
