Abstract
As much as climate change variability and other physical processes, it is very often poverty – in terms of lack of resources or choices – that creates vulnerability. For example, reduced rainfall doesn’t have to be disastrous for farming communities if they have knowledge and resources to adapt their livelihood strategies. The report reflects different expressions and styles of the multi-disciplinary team members, providing a narrative through which to understand the rich tapestry of CCAA work over the past six years. CCAA recognizes both social and technical aspects of adaptation. Its research provides a vivid account of how biophysical and social factors intersect.
