dc.description.abstractLaws, policies and programs can fall short of addressing the needs of climate-affected people, especially in natural resource-dependent societies in Asia and Africa. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of existing policy documents affecting people living in one large delta (Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna in Bangladesh), two medium-sized deltas (Indian Bengal delta—part of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna and Mahanadi in India), and a small-sized delta (Volta in Ghana). National laws, policies and programs were assessed in the context of climate change adaptation through three lenses: human rights, natural resource management and disaster response.en
