Mission

The Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) is a 7-year program (2012-2019) jointly funded by Canada’s International Development Research Center (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID).

CARIAA is dedicated to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three kinds of climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia: deltas, semi-arid lands, and glacier- and snowpack-dependent river basin. To do this, the program supports four consortia, which conduct collaborative research on climate change adaptation and resilience in these hot spots.
