Adaptation Learning Highways : Working with Communities to Adapt to Climate Change

This report presents a strategic process that fosters information and knowledge exchange between communities, scientists and policymakers to inform the decision-making process and make it inclusive. Basing planned adaptation on autonomous community adaption is effective, targeted, and responsive to community needs. To do so, the Adaptation Learning Highways initiative engages communities in a number of fora at different stages, namely: (a) community-to-community knowledge exchange fora; (b) community-scientists interface fora; (c) fora for interaction and exchange with policymakers; and (d) regional consultation workshops on adaptive strategies.
