Climate adaptation and smallholder farming in Asia

This research paper examines the adaptive capacity of smallholder rural households in Asia to cope with climate variability and change, utilizing a rural livelihoods framework and data from nearly 600 participants.

• The study identifies 36 key indicators of adaptive capacity based on discussions and interviews with nearly 600 participants in India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Laos to determine what conditions their ability to adapt to climate change.
• Rural households in developing countries experience climate-related pressures including increased temperatures, droughts, floods, cyclones, and changing rainfall patterns, and they utilize various resources to adapt, though the level of equipment for adaptation varies between households.
