This scoping study of climate change in Viet Nam draws on work in progress related to the Adaptation Knowledge Platform to disseminate and exchange adaptation knowledge with a wider audience. We thank the countless institutions, organizations, and individuals that have provided key inputs and their their insignts. 

  Confusion about the relationship between adaptation and development has meant that funding mechanisms may create redundancies or leave gaps in the landscape of critical adaptation and development activities. Drawing on Internet resources, Weathering the Storm clarifies this relationship by analyzing 135 projects, policies, and other initiatives from the developing...

Focusing on Bangladesh’s coastal zone, a project is being developed that aims to support and advance adaptation to climate change and its mainstreaming into development activities by: · Enabling non-governmental organisations from the grassroots to the national level to work together in producing and sharing knowledge, insights...

Until recently, developing country governments, donors, and non-governmental organisa-tions (NGOs) seldom considered the risks and uncertainties associated with climate change in their development planning. Research findings and policy recommendations on the effects of climate change were only considered relevant to the environment sector. There is...

Instead of identifying climate change adaptation strategies that will best fortify against projected impacts, this paper suggests that adapting to climate variability can be used as a strategy to deal with the threat of climate change. Adjustment to climate variability is a longstanding practice for the human species....

Social-ecological systems (SES), or systems where ecosystems and humans are inextricably linked, especially agricultural communities, are facing unpredictable pressures and shocks due to global climate change. To better understand if agricultural communities will be able to respond to future, unpredictable changes in climate, this study examines how farmers...

Improved resilience of farming systems and livelihood strategies of small holder farmers coping with current climate variability, reducing net carbon emissions and adapting to long-term climate change through increased use of trees for intensification, diversification and buffering of farming systems.

This paper tries to analyze adaptation strategies by small and marginal farmers having 0.1 acre of land in average (which were almost uncultivable due to water logging) by re-shaping of their farming land to make the land cultivable and to accommodate multiple subsystem (pond – rice field –...

With a focus on relief and recovery, the existing disaster management fails to provide incentives for disaster risk reduction. So, articles 4.8 of the UNFCCC and 3.14 of the Kyoto Protocol have included the provision of insurance as an adaptation instrument to address climate risks. Bangladesh and Ethiopian...
