ABSTRACT

If adaptation to climate change involves people deciding to do things differently, then the challenge of scaling up community-based adaptation (CBA) is essentially how to create and communicate knowledge so it can be turned into action. As CBA practitioners, how can we accelerate knowledge-sharing dialogue and learning processes? How can we help subsistence farmers, humanitarian and development workers, government officials, donors and other key players to navigate the complex range of plausible climate risk management choices and outcomes? How can we meaningfully engage such diverse people and organisations so that they can access, understand, trust, generate, utilise and disseminate knowledge about adaptation?
