Take a quick break and read a few short and engaging climate adaptation articles following on from the recent release of the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.
We’ve featured five articles to give you an adaptation taster covering: SEI's response to the latest IPCC report (including some of the weADAPT team); a module on gender equality in knowledge brokering; how sustainable soil management can improve food security; and, an evaluation of the Future Climate for Africa programme, which has brought together more than 200 researchers from over 20 countries over 6 years, to improve understanding of climate variability and change across Africa.
