5. Next steps? Putting these tools to use. Identifying what works where & for whom can prepare us to support solutions that work for communities, contributing to climate justice, & help predict likely successful investments, to make a strong case for adaptation funding. 🌍🌏🌎
4. We underscore that community engagement matters. Climate affects people, which affects adaptation. Do people feel affected by what we see in climate data? What thresholds matter for well-being and livelihoods? Collaborative ground-truthing answers these questions.
3. My climate science & social science collaborators & I explain how to combine adaptation and climate data to identify what works for households under different conditions. We provide a worked example, including code & URLs, of what data & how to combine them.
2. Human history suggests what household-level adaptations, like sharing & migration, tend to go with what characteristics of climate – repeated heavy rains, years of drought, etc. Yes climate change is more rapid now, but these insights give us somewhere to start looking.
1. Climate adaptation is underfunded, partially because it’s hard to project returns on investment. We need to know more about what works where, says the UNFCCC. My coauthors & I say: existing data can do this, & at scale. New paper in One Earth: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
