This article explains the assessment and conceptual framing of Vulnerability Synthesis in Africa chapter Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report (AR6), situating synthesis within emerging understandings complex climate change risk, intersectionality multi-dimensional vulnerability. It highlights how reducing vulnerability holds greatest potential gains for near-term risk Africa. elaborates important dimensions vulnerability, such as inequalities gender, migrant status or level income, compound with each other to affect risk. Our review current scholarship reveals severe limitations management that are rooted a lack attention interacting social drivers their effects well an orientation toward analyses at coarse spatial levels. These scales do not match localised nature nor impacts change. There is also limited research intersectional differentiation vulnerabilities, which essential understanding heterogeneous vulnerable groups agency, particularly concerning navigating contesting unequal power relations. Reflecting these Synthesis, we identify can provide deeper interactions among multiple why this matters adaptation Key will be show responses what overall outcomes. Doing so advance analysis place-based assessments across better inform design interventions targeting those have proportional effect reduction. contribute informed safeguards against maladaptation concrete directions planning more inclusive climate-resilient development.

This study assesses the literature evidence on climate change risk, resilience, and adaptation measures used among rural farmers in East Africa. A systematic review was conducted comprising 30 papers from Web of Science database published during 2000–2022. The results showed that risks have direct impacts agricultural practices, limit farmers’ exacerbate their food insecurity. most prominent are increasingly shorter wet seasons heat stress, which lead to droughts production losses. Responding risks, Africa adopt various strategies such as mixed- inter-cropping, conservation tillage, early planting, crop diversification, etc. Also, this summarizes determinants strategy selection by Africa, including age, gender, household size, economic status assets, landownership livestock, education training, Overall, choice is strongly determined gender heads, a determinant differ greatly between different case studies. Although female-headed households (FHHs) tend perceive changes temperature more readily than male-headed (MHHs), latter generally likely strategies. Despite resilience now, improved weather forecasting warning systems needed better direction towards future.

Migration can strengthen adaptation to climate change. The potential of migration-as-adaptation builds on a world intensifying global mobility and connectedness the increasing possibility geographically spreading risks. But what if is impeded connectivity disrupted? And happens distant places face risks simultaneously due systemic character or multiplicity crises? This paper points fundamental gaps in research migration-as-adaptation, which largely neglects questions limits. It argues that an understanding limits needs address (1) migration as inherent feature social systems under stress, (2) unequal contested nature goals, (3) immobility, disconnectedness simultaneous exposure core mechanisms limit adaptive migration. proposes novel translocal-mobilities perspective multi-scalar, multi-local, relational intersectional dynamics migration-as-adaptation. formulates for adaptation. A comprehensive will help scientific community build more realistic scenarios change provide entry policies avoid reaching mitigate negative consequences.

While the role of innovation and adaptation technology in reducing climatic risks is widely recognized, few studies have investigated formal, quasi-formal, informal institutions facilitating adoption such at local level. The novel contribution this study offering explanations how facilitate or create barriers against implementation climate technologies. In study, we employ a mixed-methods research technique to empirically examine roles two coastal communities Bangladesh reduction impacts hazards. Primary data were collected via interviewing 300 household heads, 26 key informant interviews, 2 Focus Group Discussion sessions. findings reveal that (i.e., informal) are actively involved various partnership-building processes actions promote technologies community For example, area Satkhira District, collaboration with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as well national level government organizations, Meteorological Department, Union Parishad Disaster Management Committees deeply engaged mobilizing volunteers effectively disseminate cyclone-related early warnings.
