Examining ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation: the intersection of gender capabilities and biodiversity conservation
REFNo: NS61ES
This research seeks to examine the impact of ecosystem-based adaptation programs, namely the Global Mountain EbA Programme (the Mountain Programme) on the climate resilience of individuals. There will be a particular focus on women within communities where these programs have been implemented. Working alongside partners at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and The Mountain Institute (TMI), this interdisciplinary research project explores the intersection between human adaptation measures and biodiversity conservation. These issues will be examined through the application of the capabilities approach and resilience framework to focus groups, community interviews, and expert interviews undertaken in resource-dependent communities near Mount Elgon National Park, Uganda. Results of this research will directly inform future global adaptation program governance and contribute significantly to the human development and climate change adaptation literature.
