Abstract

This newsletter introduces the AfricaAdapt network and presents current achievements with plans moving beyond 2012. It showcases three stories about how the network has helped local communities to become more aware of, and prepare for the impacts of climate change on their livelihoods. These activities were funded through the network’s Knowledge Sharing Innovation Fund. The network aims at facilitating the flow of knowledge on adaptation to climate change for sustainable livelihoods among researchers, policy makers, civil-society organisations and vulnerable communities.
