Vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in the semi-arid regions of Southern Africa
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2015The semi-arid areas of southern Africa are culturally and ecologically diverse characterised by a high proportion of poor people with limited access to services, high unemployment levels, high levels of inequality, and high levels of HIV and AIDS.DocumentBlue Carbon
GRID Arendal, 2015If the world is to decisively deal with climate change, every source of emissions and every option for reducing these should be scientifically evaluated and brought to the international community’s attention.DocumentHow can we better understand and manage the impacts of droughts
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2016Semi-arid regions of the world are often thought of as being particularly vulnerable to climate change. They are already climatically stressed with high temperatures, low rainfall and long dry seasons.DocumentCommunicating climate change for adaptation: challenges, success and future priorities
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2016Communicating climate change to communities in semi-arid regions remains a difficult task. This information brief helps communicators understand best practice and helps researchers understand where knowledge gaps exist.Key findings:DocumentGendered vulnerabilities to climate change: insights from the semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2016Vulnerabilities to impacts of climate change are gendered. Still, policy approaches aimed at strengthening local communities’ adaptive capacity largely fail to recognise the gendered nature of everyday realities and experiences.Key points and recommendations:DocumentClimate change adaptation practice in semi-arid regions: views and insights by practitioners
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2016The Research into Use (RiU) element of the research project Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR) aims to ensure that ASSAR’s research outputs and findings are taken-up in adaptation practice and policy spheres across semi-arid regions.DocumentUse and communication of climate information to support uptake of adaptation action in the semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2016Africa and Asia are among the continents most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This vulnerability is further worsened by the poor state of their socio-economic development and low adaptive capacity.DocumentClimate change, ecosystem services and adaptation in East Africa’s semi-arid regions: Early diagnostics of critical knowledge gaps for landscape conservation
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2016ASSAR (Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions) seeks to deepen understanding of climate vulnerability and adaptation in semi-arid regions, and to help transform current adaptation practice to a mode that achieves proactive, widespread adaptation embedded in development activities.DocumentPlanning for climate change in the semi-arid regions of East Africa
Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions, 2015The semi-arid regions of East Africa are among the most food insecure regions in the world. Many people rely on the rains for their crops and livestock. Additionally, communal conflict, and the resulting population displacement, is an ongoing challenge to regional security and peace.DocumentGender and finance: coming out of the margins. Climate policy brief
South Centre, 2016Climate finance must be managed at the global, regional and national levels to ensure and promote gender equality and the empowerment of women as key actors, both in climate protection and sustainable development efforts. Managing climate change impacts at the household and community levels will undoubtedly add to women’s and girls’ time burden, impacting their overall well-being.Pages
