Information for Climate Change Adaptation

The document examines the challenges of producing and using climate adaptation information in South Asia, noting that information is often supply-driven by researchers rather than tailored to user needs. It outlines the objectives of a regional workshop convened by the World Resources Institute and Development Alternatives to identify investment priorities and improve dialogue between information producers and users.

• Climate adaptation information in South Asia is frequently supply-driven, reflecting the interests of researchers and available data rather than the specific needs of users, which creates difficulties in accessing, understanding, and applying the information.
• The 'adaptation information agenda' is obscured by the complexity of climate vulnerability, the uncertainty of impacts, and the long time-frame of global warming.
• Effective long-term adaptation in South Asia requires the development of significant new capacities and improved systems for the production, management, use, dissemination, and learning of information.
