Weathering the Storm

The report examines 135 initiatives in the developing world to address the conceptual confusion between climate change adaptation and development, proposing a continuum framework to identify where development activities serve adaptation functions and offering recommendations for governance and funding.

• Ambiguity regarding the link between adaptation and development can lead to funding mechanisms that either create redundancies or fail to cover critical activities in both sectors.
• The report introduces a conceptual framework consisting of a continuum of activities ranging from "pure" development to "pure" climate change to determine when development activities perform an adaptation function.
