Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation in Development Countries
Abstract
The effects of climate change pose a severe threat to human development and progress towards the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Donors, governments and NGOs are increasingly addressing
these risks by incorporating climate change adaptation into their work. Yet mainstreaming adaptation
into development planning, programmes and budgeting faces a series of barriers and remains in its
early stages in most developing countries. This joint research by IDS and Tearfund highlights certain
successful adaptation strategies and makes recommendations for the future.
