ASSAR adaptation at scale in semi-arid regions 2014 - 2018 : putting people at the centre to enable effective climate adaptation in semi-arid regions
Abstract
Working in the semi-arid regions of Africa and India, the Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR) project combined interdisciplinary scientific research, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement to improve understandings of both barriers and enablers to effective climate adaptation. ASSAR’s work is future-focused, and driven by the urgent need to accelerate regional adaptation responses to safeguard the livelihoods and wellbeing of vulnerable people. Research themes emphasize the dynamics of ecosystem services, social differentiation, and governance. ASSAR is part of CARIAA (Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia) programme. This paper includes many resources and embedded reference links.
