Climate change impacts upon the world's poorest most heavily. It is
therefore essential that international development initiatives
focus on improving the ability of developing countries to adapt to
the effects of climate change. This book, a product of research by
the JICA-RI (Research Institute of the Japan International
Cooperation Agency), examines climate change adaptation from the
perspective of development cooperation in order to provide useful
lessons for those engaged in research, policy and practice in this
vital area. In this book the editors have brought together a wide
range of case studies from across Africa and Asia, covering urban
and rural areas and different sectors including water, agriculture
and disaster management, in order to examine the following:
high-resolution climate change projection in Asia and how this can
be used in planning appropriate adaptation responses; in-depth case
studies of climate change projections, social, economic and
environmental impact and vulnerability assessment and adaptation in
rural Thailand and urban Philippines; cases across Africa for which
climate data is less readily available and alternative approaches
need to be adopted; the current situation amongst international
donors; emerging issues caused by climate change. In the
introductory section, the editors draw together the full
implications from the case studies to discuss how international
communities can support adaptation in developing countries and to
give an assessment of bilateral projects. They reflect on the
lessons learned and offer recommendations for future research and
international development cooperation.
