Climate change adaptation: enabling people living in poverty to adapt

Oxfam research report:

This report draws on case studies from around the world and on Oxfam’s experience working with rural communities. It sets out what is needed to enable people living in poverty to adapt to climate change, and a range of interventions that are available. It brings together experience in the areas of livelihoods, natural resource management, and disaster risk reduction, with robust decision making in order to manage uncertainty and risk and to build adaptive capacity from household to national and global levels. It also identifies the combined need for bottom-up and topdown processes in order to create the enabling conditions needed for people living in poverty to adapt to climate change.
