Enabling near-term results for climate adaptation in Africa and Asia beyond CARIAA
The Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) aims to build the resilience of poor people to climate change by supporting a network of consortia to conduct high-calibre research and policy engagement in hot spots in Africa and Asia. It is jointly funded by the UK’s Department for International Development and IDRC. This project seeks to address results that are at risk with the formal closure of four consortia. After four-and-a-half years of activity, each consortium has achieved impressive results, generated knowledge, and built capacity intended to enhance the resilience of vulnerable people living in climate “hot spots”. This final project is intended to build on these results. Specifically, Advance Services for Social and Administrative Reforms, India (ASSAR) will work with the Ethiopian government to manage the invasive Prosopis plant species. Deltas, Vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation, UK (DECCMA) will develop proposals for climate financing and modelling for adaptation in deltas. Himalayan Adaptation, Water and Resilience, Nepal (HI-AWARE) will analyze the drivers of migration in Nepal, assess the feasibility of scaling up pilot adaptation solutions in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and scope efforts to address heat stress in India and Pakistan. Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies, UK (PRISE) will sustain its coordination function to seize policy windows with local government to enable private-sector adaptation in semi-arid lands.
