Abstract:
The Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) program supports four research consortia in climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia: Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE); Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR); Deltas, Vulnerability, and Climate Change: Migration as Adaptation (DECCMA); and Himalayan Adaptation, Water and Resilience (HI-AWARE). This report covers highlights and discussions from the program’s launch event (2014), which are based on CARIAA approaches to key issues in the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II’s 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
