Abstract:
The brief is based on a five-year evidence-based and stakeholder-driven research project carried out under the consortium for Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE) in Senegal, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Targeted investment, more robust institutional frameworks, and adaptation actions that proactively support climate-resilient economic development (CRED) can enhance adaptive capacity. A territorial approach to adaptation that transcends national borders and administrative boundaries will open up opportunities for transboundary adaptation and support CRED at both regional and national levels.
