A method to assess migration and adaptation in deltas : a preliminary fast-track assessment

Abstract

The focus of the Deltas, Vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA) project is on climate change and sea level rise; however many other drivers such as economic changes or political conflicts can affect migration. The DECCMA working papers share findings and lessons from research studies commissioned by the program. Project study areas are the Ganges Brahmaputra Meghna (GBM), the Mahanadi, and the Volta deltas. After building a robust individual, household and community component model, the scope of the project will be expanded to consider spatial variations, climate, environmental, land cover, land use, economic and governance changes.
