Theme: Information Dissemination Project Name: Adaptation Research Workshop Date: 9 - 12 November 2003 Project partners: The workshop was sponsored by UNEP and the Ministry of Environment and Forests, convened by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and IIED, with the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) as the local host. Introduction: Some 60 people from Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, spanning interests from water and disasters to climate adaptation and livelihoods, met in Delhi as part of a process to review key policy issues and research demands in the realm of adaptation to climate change. Conclusions from the Workshop suggest that a more complete theory of adaptation is emerging. Methodologies for targeting vulnerabilities are improving, but remain inadequate for prioritising adaptation. However, structured vulnerability assessments and toolkits for vulnerability and adaptation research can provide useful information. Particular priorities include integrating stakeholder and local knowledge, and capacity building in climate adaptation research and assessment. Funded by: The World Bank, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency - Sida, The Assessments of Impacts and Adaptations to Climate Change (AIACC) project and the Tyndall Centre.
