This book examines development aid for climate change adaptation.
Increasing amounts of aid are used to help developing countries
adapt to climate change. The authors seek to discover how this aid
is distributed and what constitutes the patterns of adaptation-aid
giving. Does it help vulnerable countries, as donors promise, or
does it help donors achieve economic and political gains? Set
against the backdrop of international climate change negotiations
and the aid allocation literature, Betzold and Weiler's empirical
analysis proceeds in three steps: firstly they assess adaptation
aid as reported by the OECD, then statistically examine patterns in
adaptation aid allocation, and finally qualitatively investigate
adaptation aid in three large climate donors: Germany, Sweden and
the United Kingdom. With its mixed-method research design and
comprehensive data, this work provides a unique, state-of-the-art
analysis of adaptation aid as a new stream of development aid.
Storms strike! When natural disasters take place there is always an
a consequence. The survivors of dangerous storms have to rebuild
their lives. There is a new beginning after the storm. You only
have two decisions in life. You can choose to live or you can
choose to die. These are the survivors who chose to persevere
through devastating tragedy, to live!
