Publisher description
To assist developing countries and countries with economies in transition
to meet this obligation, the U.S. Country Studies Program is providing
technical and financial support for the development of climate change studies
in 55 countries. This document presents preliminary results from the
vulnerability and adaptation assessment research of 13 of the countries that
were ready to share their results. The countries contributing to this document
are from the African, Asian-Pacific, Eastern European, and Latin American
regions, and their assessments address impacts in the agriculture, grasslands,
forest, water resources, and coastal resources sectors. This document includes
results from many countries for which there was no prior research on the
potential impacts of climate change, or for which the research has not
previously been widely available. This work should aid understanding of the
potential impacts of climate change and the effectiveness of adaptation
strategies, and it should also help develop a consensus on appropriate
methodologies and needs for refinement to currently available
methodologies. This document presents preliminary results from the vulnerability and
adaptation to climate change assessment research of 13 countries involved in
the US Country Studies Program.
