Designing the next generation of climate adaptation research for development

Designing the next generation of climate adaptation research for development

2017

An agenda is presented for the next generation of climate adaptation research. The article proposes five key areas that need to be reflected in future adaptation research: increasing transparency and consultation in research design; innovation in the design and delivery of research programmes; demonstrating impact on the ground; addressing incentive structures; and, more effective knowledge management and learning. Greater Southern representation in international funding decision-making and advisory bodies should allow for Southern voices and perspectives to be shared in the commissioning, awarding and management of adaptation research. The move towards demand-driven research prioritisation is considered to be largely positive.
