Weathering the Storm: Options for Framing Adaptation and Development

The report analyzes the objectives of initiatives and the strategies utilized in implementation to characterize some of the ways that adaptation and development overlap. A continuum of activities from “pure” development to “pure” climate change is proposed as a conceptual framework to understand when different “development” activities may play an “adaptation” function. Recommendations address governance challenges, funding implications, and next steps in analysis and policy development.
