Abstract:
The launch event enabled 60 stakeholders from a wide array of organizations to learn about the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA), and to begin dialogues with consortia members on key topics relevant to the research, while discussing avenues for collaboration in the future. Disaggregating vulnerability will be a key part of ensuring that consortia’s research benefits those most in need. This requires unpacking layers of contributing factors, like poverty and gender. Similar research is needed into the drivers and impacts of migration. Other aspects of collaboration across complex problems were approached, towards moving research into action.
