Abstract
Working with stakeholders from Botswana, India, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Namibia, and Uganda, the Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR) research programme is examining the dynamics and drivers of climate change vulnerability, while exploring ways to promote the resilience of people, local organizations and governments. ASSAR’s research is multi-country, allowing for cross-regional comparison and integration of research findings. Using participatory scenario planning processes, ASSAR will help to build a common understanding of current adaptation needs and past adaptation failings. This brief introduces the ASSAR programme.
