dc.description.abstractThe paper examines the implications of multi-scalar response strategies on local adaptive capacities and adaptation processes using data from three semi-arid regions in India. It focuses on how development and adaptation interventions are shaping local capacities to deal with risk. Few studies distinguish development interventions from climate adaptation actions, making it difficult to identify particular entry points for enabling and strengthening adaptation actions. The paper finds most adaptive responses were reactive coping strategies applicable for shorter-term climate variability. It concludes with a discussion linking the case-based findings to broader development and adaptation trajectories.en
