| description |
Policies to promote adaptation climate
risks often rely on the willing cooperation of the intended
beneficiaries. If these beneficiaries disagree with policy
makers and programme managers about the need for adaptation,
or the effectiveness of the measures they are being asked to
undertake, then implementation of the policies will fail. A
case study of a resettlement programme in Mozambique shows
this to be the case. Farmers and policy-maker disagreed
about the seriousness of climate risks, and the potential
negative consequences of proposed adaptive measures. A
project to provide more information about climate change to
farmers did not change their beliefs. The results highlight
the need for active dialog across stakeholder groups, as a
necessary condition for formulating policies that can then
be successfully implemented. |
