Climate change adaptation: enabling people living in poverty to adapt (discussion paper)

Oxfam discussion document:

This paper seeks to bring together knowledge from Oxfam’s work on livelihoods, natural resource management, and disaster risk reduction to show what can work for adaptation to various climate hazards.

It further seeks to locate that approach within a vulnerability context, whereby differentiated vulnerability is analysed and acted upon, prioritising the needs of communities and individuals most vulnerable to climate change within national approaches to adaptation.

Finally, it seeks to reorient national adaptation planning around the process by which international, national and sub-national provision can be utilised to deliver adaptation that communities need, particularly those most vulnerable to climate change.
