Because vulnerability is a conceptual construct rather than a directly observable phenomenon,
most vulnerability assessments measure a set of “vulnerability indicators”. In order to identify
the core approaches and range of variation in the field, we conducted a systematic literature
review on lo...

A systematic review of local vulnerability to climate change: in search of transparency, coherence and comparability
Changes in land use and management practices to store and sequester carbon are becoming integral to global efforts that both address climate change and alleviate poverty. Knowledge and evidence gaps nevertheless abound. This paper analyses the most pressing deficiencies in understanding carbon st...

Challenges and opportunities in linking carbon sequestration, livelihoods and ecosystem service provision in drylands
As adaptation to climate change is a major theme for CCAFS, the programme needs a method for monitoring and evaluating interventions intended to foster adaptation and enhance adaptive capacity across food systems. This report explored current approaches to monitoring and evaluation of climate cha...

Monitoring adaptation to enhance food security: a survey of approaches and best practice
In this paper we focus on the issue of how climate change affects the way that agricultural systems
and the people that manage and govern them need to change in the next 20 years in order to
achieve food security, and how FAO and CGIAR can support that change. We build on a huge body
