Abstract

The principles of the ‘bottom-up’ approach to adaptation are followed. It believes that one of the starting points for adaptation to climate change should be the present. The focus should not just be on scenarios of the future; combined with this should be analysis of present vulnerability in the face of current climate variability. Then the focus is on the current coping strategies for climate variability by the chronically poor and highlights some of the barriers to and opportunities for successful adaptation. [WP no. 108].
