Abstract
In this journal editorial, Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) hot spot regions are identified and defined along with CARIAA’s collaborative and transdisciplinary approach to adaptation research, providing a framework for the studies included in this special issue. “Hot spots” include semiarid regions and deltas of Africa and Asia, and glacier- and snowpack-dependent river basins of South Asia. The seven papers gathered in this special issue focus on these three high-risk climate change hot spots provide a multi-disciplinary perspective on the state of knowledge of climate change adaptation and resilience.
