Knowledge Dialogues and Climate Change: Integrating Participatory Approaches in the Design of Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Measures in the Peruvian Andes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Climate Change, Hazards and Adaptation Options

Part of the book series: Climate Change Management ((CCM))

Abstract

Communities throughout the Andes—and indeed much of the world—are increasingly challenged by climate change and other modern pressures such as migration and globalization. Ecosystem-based Adaptation seeks to address human vulnerability to climate change using the natural environment in ways that simultaneously increase human well-being and ecosystem resilience. This paper examines the role of participatory research methods in promoting adaptation measures that are robust, i.e., effective under both current and potential future conditions, as well as embraced by the local people.
