"Whilst the world's poor are clearly hit hardest by climate change impacts, so too do they hold many of the solutions for how best to cope with its impacts, and at times reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero. Climate Change and Human Development offers a rich compendium of real life scenarios and brings home the realities of how poor people are suffering from and coping with climate change impacts today.Drawing on case studies gathered ..."
"For each forecast, each advisor chooses one action card from their hand (or
writes their own action card if they drew a blank card), placing it face down. The
Decider chooses from all the recommended action cards the one she thinks most
appropriate for each forecast. Advisors whose cards are chosen receive one
point for each pre-written action card and two points for each player-generated
action card selected. Advisors may challeng ..."

"Hannah Reid. Coastal fishermen in Bangladesh Coastal fishermen in
Bangladesh are particularly vulnerable to environment-related disasters.
Fishermen earn their living from fishing in rivers, estuaries and littoral waters. Of
all the openwater fish species, hilsa is the most important, being a major
contributor to the livelihoods of coastal fishermen and the nation as a whole.
Coastal fishermen contribute 22–25 per cent of the total ..."

"As well as analysing total direct GDP impacts, our aim is also to evaluate the

"Africa - Up in Smoke?--the second report from a coalition of the U.K.'s top environment and development groups, the Working Group on Climate Change and Development--says that efforts to alleviate poverty in Africa will ultimately fail unless urgent action is taken to halt dangerous climate change. The report says that G8 nations have failed to “connect-the-dots” between climate change and Africa. Unless addressed, this could condemn gen ..."

the IPCC (2001): adaptation refers to the “adjustment in ecological, social, or

effects ..."

"Community-based adaptation (CBA) to climate change is based on local priorities, needs, knowledge and capacities. Early CBA initiatives were generally implemented by non-government organisations (NGOs), and operated primarily at the local level. Many used ‘bottom-up’ participatory processes to identify the climate change problem and appropriate responses. Small localised stand-alone initiatives are insufficient to address the scale of ..."
"As climate change adaptation rises up the international policy agenda, matched by increasing funds and frameworks for action, there are mounting questions over how to ensure the needs of vulnerable people on the ground are met. Community-based adaptation (CBA) is one growing proposal that argues for tailored support at the local level to enable vulnerable people to identify and implement appropriate community-based responses to climate ..."

"Hurricane Katrina dominated news headlines around the world in 2005, but, as this report documents, other hurricanes and extreme events in the region have gone largely unreported. Up in Smoke? confirms that largely regular and predictable temperature and rainfall patterns are changing, becoming less predictable and often more extreme. It catalogs the impact of climate change and environmental degradation ranging from drought in the Amaz ..."
