Resources on Climate Adaptation

Eldis offers a number of ways to engage on Climate Adaptation, including the Community Based Adapatation Exchange (CBA-X) and the The Linking Climate Adaptation (LCA) Network. 

The CBA-X is a shared online resource for development practitioners that has news, events, case-studies, tools, policy documents, videos, and more - all related to community based approaches to adapt to climate change.

Why the focus on community based adaptation? According to their website - "The impacts of climate change are falling disproportionately on poor communities, in poor countries. Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) is an innovative approach that focuses on enabling communities to enhance their own adaptive capacity, and empowering vulnerable communities to increase their own resilience to the impacts of climate change. CBA identifies, assists and implements community-based adaptation activities, research and policy, in regions where adaptive capacity is as dependent on livelihoods as climatic changes."

Another resource - also part of the Eldis Community - is the LCA Network. According to their website, the LCA is a community of over 900 practitioners, stakeholders, researchers and policy-makers exchanging information on climate adaptation research and practice around the globe via the Networks email list. You can join the LCA community by emailing lyris@lyris.ids.ac.uk with the message: Subscribe LCA.
