The study generated data both from secondary sources as well as primary research. The data was used to prepare country reports and policy notes but has also been analyzed using basic statistical methods to understand the relationship between institutions, adaptation strategies, and social groups within communities and territories. 2017-06-21T21:28:21Z 2017-06-21T21:28:21Z 2011-07 Working Paper http://hdl.handle.net/10986/27313 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research Latin America West Africa |

This report on adaptation to climate
variability and change draws together the conclusions of a
series of comparative case studies undertaken for the
Area-Based Development and Climate Change (ABDCC) project of
the Social Development Department of the World Bank. The
report contributes to a better understanding of pro-poor
adaptation by addressing the growing need for systematic
analyses of existing rural adaptation strategies in the face
of climate variability. The study shows: 1) how different
types of climate phenomena affect households that are
already vulnerable owing to their political-economic and
social circumstances, 2) the ways in which households cope
with and adapt to climate hazards, and 3) the role of rural
organizations and institutions in helping vulnerable
households cope with climate impacts and other sources of
vulnerability more effectively. The study also complements
other macro-level analyses in which the focus is primarily
on government policies in the context of adaptation. The
ABDCC study relied on four strategies for its
implementation, data collection, and capacity building
efforts: 1) review of secondary information and the
selection of study sites; 2) data collection through
household, focus group, and expert interviews; 3) data
analysis and identification of feasible policy options; and
4) capacity building and dissemination of results. The study
generated data both from secondary sources as well as
primary research. The data was used to prepare country
reports and policy notes but has also been analyzed using
basic statistical methods to understand the relationship
between institutions, adaptation strategies, and social
groups within communities and territories. |
