Climate Change Adaptation, Dispossession and Displacement: Co-constructing Solutions with Coastal Vulnerable Groups in Africa and Asia

How do CCA programs contribute to gendered processes of dispossession and displacement?

We will consider several CCA strategies in coastal regions in Bangladesh, Ghana, and the Philippines to see impacts in various contexts, follow different implementation timelines, and capture similarities and differences as well as transnational solutions.

Objectives

1. Map connections between CCA, dispossession and displacement
2. Identify pathways to more inclusive CCA.
