Climate risk analysis and community-led strategies for resilient livelihoods, landscapes and institutions.
Climate adaptation connects environmental change with the choices people can make about water, land and livelihoods. We consider exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity together, paying attention to institutions and unequal access to resources.
Assessment can inform locally led adaptation planning, climate-sensitive livelihood programming and the design of measures suited to pastoral and agro-pastoral contexts. The objective is a clear understanding of risk and a practical basis for prioritisation.
What we support
Focused capabilities.
A connected perspective.
Community-led adaptation planning
Climate-resilient livelihood strategies
Our team brings together climate, social research, evaluation and environmental expertise. We select methods to match the question rather than applying a standard package to every context.
How we work
Designed around
the decision.
Clarify the context
We begin by understanding the purpose of the work, existing information, stakeholder needs and the decisions that will use the findings. This shapes a proportionate and locally relevant research design.
Engage inclusively
Participatory methods create space for different community perspectives. Informed consent, gender and social inclusion, and careful handling of participant information are built into the process.
Analyse and validate
Evidence is reviewed across sources, with technical quality checks and discussion of emerging findings. We distinguish observations, interpretations and recommendations, and explain uncertainty.
Communicate for use
Outputs are structured around practical decisions: clear findings, prioritised recommendations and accessible presentations that help stakeholders use the evidence.
