Climate Change Adaptation in Drylands: What are the specific,
current, and future climate risks drylands and its people face? What are
the consequences of drought and floods in these areas? How can
vulnerable groups adapt and respond to longer-term climate change risks?
What are the barriers and enablers for effective, long-term adaptation,
and what interventions/investments are required to enable more
widespread, sustained adaptation?
These and other research questions are being asked by the ?Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions? (ASSAR) programme, part of ?Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia? (CARIAA) that aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods by supporting collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice.
Oxfam GB is a research-into-use partner in the ASSAR consortium. We will ensure that practitioner and impact perspectives are embedded in ASSAR?s research and that the programme engages practitioners and policy-makers, communicating its research findings to practitioners.
With the other ASSAR partners, we aim to transform current climate change adaptation practice so that is proactive and embedded in development activities across all scales of governance and supports the adaptive livelihoods of vulnerable people.
