  This paper analyses the vicious spiral between climate change impacts, ecosystem degradation and increased risk of climate-related disasters, defining the central role of ecosystem management in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction and their multifaceted linkages. It also assesses the challenges for enhanced...

  This paper presents the steps required to apply the TAMD framework which allows for assessing how climate risk management interventions influence development and adaptation outcomes through various processes described for each intervention in a theory of change. The paper also suggests how baseline data...

  Dr. Saleemul Huq shares his view on capturing the learning-by-doing process in terms of science, adding that “There may not be an adaptation science yet but there is certainly one in the making and in five to 10 years from now there will be...
