Deltas, vulnerability & Climate Change: Migration & Adaptation (DECCMA)
Abstract
Deltas are home to 500 million people worldwide and known as a climate hange “hotspot” – a place where high exposure to climate stresses coincides with high levels of vulnerability.
DECCMA has been undertaking research on climate and environmental change, migration and adaptation in three delta ystems: the transboundary Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna megadelta (comprising the Indian Bengal delta, as well as the bulk in Bangladesh), the Mahanadi delta in India, and the Volta in Ghana.
Description
This work was carried out under the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA), with financial support from the UK Government’s Department For International Development (DFID) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.
