Climate change and the poor: Linking local adaptation needs to policy and institutional structures
| Copy Link | |
| Coordinating organisation: | Institute of Development Studies. University of Sussex |
| Description: | Objectives: To ensure that policy solutions and resources to assist adaptation by the most vulnerable countries and groups are targetted wisely, and to avoid undermining locally determined adaptation strategies. Background: Climate change is a serious risk to poverty reduction and threatens to undo decades of development. Some adverse impacts cannot be averted and will fall disproportionately on vulnerable countries and the poorest, potentially jeopardising achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, in particular, those related to eradication of poverty and hunger, health and sustainable development. Many international organisations and research bodies have recently concluded that adaptation planning must be undertaken immediately if additional burdens imposed by negative climate impacts are to be averted, particularly on already vulnerable low-income countries and other countries vulnerable to climate impacts. |
