dc.description.abstractMigration was found to help improve household adaptive capacity, albeit in a limited capacity. It was mainly used as a response to risk and uncertainty, but with potential to have positive adaptation co-benefits. The article suggests that in climate-sensitive hotspots, migration is an important livelihood diversification strategy and a response to various risks, including climate change. Typically one or more household members, often young men, migrate internally or internationally to work in predominantly informal sectors. Key findings are synthesized from four research consortia, part of the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) initiative, in the regional context of South Asia.en
