Abstract

The meeting brought together partners from 20 research projects in Asia that are funded through IDRC's Climate Change and Water (CCW) program. These projects explore climate change adaptation through a range of different thematic entry points, including coastal vulnerability, peri-urban and urban water security, disaster risk reduction, and water governance. The objective of the meeting was to enable knowledge sharing between researchers on lessons learned in utilizing some key methods: economic analysis, social vulnerability assessment, biophysical modeling; and to explore how effective results can be produced from research to strengthen adaptation policies, plans, and actions in the Asia region.
