The Development Fund has for 30 years focused our work on linking environmental issues and community development. A brand new report on climate adaptation and poverty reduction – More than rain – takes the issue of climate change a step further from cutting greenhouse gas emissions to the issues of climate adaptation. Many people have no choice but to adapt to a changing climate. You will find the report below, together with a summary, case studies and key lessons. You can download all the information you need, or we can send it to you by post if you want a printed copy. The project is funded by Norad.

  «More than rain – Identifying Sustainable Pathways for Climate Adaptation and Poverty Reduction», a new report on climate change and adaptation by GECHS and the Development Fund, was launched on September 9th 2008. You can order the report here or download from this link:

The report is available for download here.

In the report «More than rain», case studies from Ethiopia, Nepal and Nicaragua are used as examples and background material for the analysis. Summaries of these case studies can be found here.
