Abstract
The presentation breaks down results from a survey on migration gathered from participants in various regions of India: Deltas (4115 participants); River Basins (1987); Semi-arid plains (600); Semi-arid plateau (2725). It considers drivers of migration; household adaptive capacity; a resilience index; and adaptation measures. It also compares the differences in migration: as a reactive response, or as a movement towards intentional migration, part of adaptive capacity
