Abstract
Within the developing world, where immediate needs
are so pressing, it is difficult to implement adaptation
to deal with future risks if it does not also support
development. Since development generally focuses on
reducing poverty, those aiming to help the vulnerable
adapt to a changing climate must consider whether
adaptation actions also help reduce poverty.
