Pathways to Resilience in semi-arid Economies (PRISE)
Abstract
This work was carried out under the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA), with financial suport from the UK Government's Department for International Development and the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada.Building on this conceptuatlisation of maladaptation, we present the groundwork for a framework that can lend itself to qualitative assessment of adaptation strategies and clarify the differences between four distinct types of adaptation outcomes - ranging from optimal adaptation to maladaptation, In our framework, maladaptation is categorised by determining the impact strategies have on climate risk and wellbeing. The framework also assesses the implications for each category through a distributional and temporal lens
