CARE: adaptation resources
In the past few months, CARE's Poverty, Environment and Climate Change Network (PECCN), CARE and ALP staff have been busy around the world to address the impact of a changing climate. We are glad to bring you case studies, videos, stories and publications to increase your climate change knowledge.
CASE STUDIES:

PARTICIPATORY DIGITAL PHOTO STORIES:
Kenya Community Stories of Drought
In June 2011, the PECCN Communications Officer worked with Adaptation Learning Programme for Africa (ALP) staff, local journalists and women, elder men and young men from Nanighi community in North Eastern Kenya to create digital photo stories about what climate change impacts affect them the most and why; and how they are coping. These digital photo stories were developed to be used for community awareness-raising about climate change impacts; to understand and monitor change through the ALP over time; and for advocacy. The ALP is implemented by CARE International.

NEW REPORTS:
Livelihood security in a changing climate: Insights from a programme evaluation in Timor Leste
This report draws on the findings of a recent CARE Australia evaluation focusing on the effectiveness, impact and sustainability of CARE programming in Timor Leste in relation to climate hazards. It sought to evaluate the effectiveness and sustainability of selected projects in relation to household adaptive capacity and reduced vulnerability to climate hazards. Drawing on the work of the evaluation, this report looks to distil key conclusions and recommendations which will be of particular relevance for livelihoods programming, in Timor Leste and beyond.

CARE Australia’s Climate Sensitivity Screening of our Project Portfolio
Climate change can undermine or, in some cases, reverse the effectiveness and sustainability of development interventions. Conversely, well-designed development activities can increase people’s resilience to climate change impacts. In this report, CARE Australia shares its experience applying a Climate Sensitivity Check across a database of projects, with the aim of determining priorities and attempting to analyse patterns of sensitivity based on the screening exercise.
