Global
 It is imperative that the international agreement and framework for adaptation assistance to developing countries ensures that communities, populations and people most at risk and least equipped to manage the consequences receive the restitution they are due, either in the form of direct adaptation support or broader infrastructure, service and policy reforms that facilitate local adaptation efforts. This discussion paper - commissioned by CARE International, Germanwatch and Bread for the World - sets forth concrete, workable suggestions for pro-poor governance of international adaptation funding.
Ethiopia
 Climate‐related vulnerability and adaptive‐capacity in Ethiopia's Borana
and Somali communities. Save the Children UK and CARE Ethiopia. The purpose of this research is to undertake a comparative analysis of the climate-related vulnerability and adaptive capacity of Borana and Somali pastoralist communities in Ethiopia, how they have changed over time, and how they relate to climate change. The results of this analysis are intended to provide the Government of Ethiopia, civil society organizations, and international donors a basis for improved development programming and advocacy.
Brasil
 This report documents the results and impact of our work in the coast of Bahia. Since 2002, CARE Brasil has been contributing to processes of change in the Costa do Cacau(Cocoa Coast) region, Bahia's south coast. With a regional office in the town of Ilhéus, our teamhas been assisting some of the more vulnerable groups from this region which has undergone many periods of wealth production. Such wealth has remained in the hands of a few powerful families and led to the social exclusion of most of its population. Throughout the years CARE Brasil has introduced and tested several social technologies in order to empower families and communities under this programme. This work, focused on improving the cocoa value chain, has been developed along with several social, public and private organizations.
Nepal
 Climate Change Impacts on Livelihoods of Poor and Vulnerable Communities and Biodiversity Conservation: A Case Study in Banke, Bardia, Dhading and Rasuwa Districts of Nepal. SAGUN Program, CARE Nepal and Li-Bird. This study shows that the climate is changing in the study areas, like elsewhere in the world. The impact of climate change on biodiversity and livelihoods of communities in the study areas is very distinct and it has indicated that poor, marginalized women and Dalit were more vulnerable to climate change impacts. Meanwhile, coping strategies and adaptation mechanism applied by these local communities are not very effective to address climate change issues and threats.

CARE believes that the most effective way to do this is through a participatory analysis process which engages all stakeholders in understanding climate-related challenges, identifying adaptation solutions and taking steps to act on those solutions. To facilitate this, CARE has developed the Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) process to help ourselves, our partners and the communities we work with to better understand the implications of climate change for the lives and livelihoods of the people we serve.
