This monograph presents an ongoing research project, which
attempts to study the impacts of climate change in the context of
ongoing economic changes, and how these will affect the adaptive
capacity of Indian farmers. This collaborative project is being carried
out by TERI, India; the Centre for International Climate and
Environmental Research - Oslo, Norway; and the International
Institute for Sustainable Development, Canada, and will be completed
in March 2004. The methodology combines vulnerability mapping
with participatory appraisals in villages, and places emphasis on
understanding physical, socio-economic, and policy factors that can
enhance or constrain coping capacity.
