Abstract
While climate change is a global threat, some parts of the world are especially vulnerable due to the expected impacts on these sensitive regions and the large numbers of people who inhabit them. Climate change in these “hot spots” threatens the livelihoods of vast populations, particularly the poor. CARIAA aims to help build the resilience of poor people to climate change by supporting a network of consortia to conduct high-calibre research and policy engagement in hot spots in Africa and Asia.
