1. Integrating ecosystem- and community-based adaptation Hausner Wendo

2. Adaptation is critical for the Global South DEPENDENCE ON CLIMATE- SENSITIVE NATURAL CAPITAL VULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE RELATED DISASTER RISKS LOW INCOME/ POVERTY Build community coping capacity and resilience CCA must explicitly address vulnerabilities to observed or projected changes in climate or climate-variability

3. Community-based Adaptation (CBA) Puts community members at the centre of adaptation planning, enabling them to identify their own needs, set priorities, and find solutions based on their own knowledge and capacities. A key focus here is to empower communities to adapt. community is leading the process and making decisions on how to adapt

7. Elements of CBNRM Sustainable use Devolution of management decisions from government to local institutions Collective control and legal rights over resources Economic incentives that enhance the value of resources to communities that conserve them
