empowerment in everything we do.
Adaptation and Food Security - English / French / Spanish
Food insecurity is a growing concern throughout the developing world, particularly for poor women and children. CARE understands that achieving food security for all will require a coordinated effort that incorporates preventive, promotional, protective and transformative measures. This brief outlines CARE’s understanding of the challenge and our response.
Vulnerability to climate change is determined, in large part, by people's adaptive capacity. A particular climate hazard, such as a drought, does not affect all people within a community – or even the same household – equally because some have greater capacity than others to manage the crisis. This working brief looks at why gender is central to CARE's understanding of and response to the impacts of climate change.
CARE is implementing Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) projects that target the world's most vulnerable populations and integrating climate change into our ongoing development work. This working brief summarises CARE's two-track approach to adaptation and explains why we think both are critical to meeting the global climate change challenge.

REPORT FROM CARE AUSTRALIA
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.
REPORT FROM CARE GERMANY:
 Waiting for the water to come: Poverty reduction in times of global climate change
ENGLISH / GERMAN
This report aims to provide an overview of the state of the debate on poverty reduction in the face of climate change. The authors have investigated the links between poverty and climate change in practice and examined the issues in the light of a case study in Indonesia. They have deliberately selected a country which is both particularly affected by climate change and also one of those causing global warming. The findings are clear: climate change does make tackling poverty more difficult. And it seems that more and more people are in danger of slipping into poverty due to changing environmental conditions.
