Abstract
Community based adaptation is an approach that puts people in the centre of their own development, by facilitating a learning process that increases resilience and anticipatory capacity. Adaptation is place-based and requires specific strategies. In order to create an enabling environment for adaptation it is important to firstly create the determination to adapt, and secondly create cooperation and networks to foster adaptation processes. The Adaptation and beyond newsletter for participatory research is published by Indigo Development & Change as a contribution towards effective and participatory adaptation to climate change, providing a forum for case studies and community and researcher feedback.
