dc.description.abstractThis paper considers the barriers to climate change adaptation in Namibia through the lens of the ‘adaptation activity space’ – a framework that positions the adapting system in relation to its environment. For instance, although reasons for the slow adoption of novel farming practices are complex, the problem can be attributed to a policy framework for climate smart agriculture that is not matched with supportive resources needed on the ground. Thus, despite a relatively enabling national policy environment, adaptation efforts at the grassroots level have been incremental and reactive, comprising an array of short-term coping mechanisms and technological fixes.en
