| Sumario: | Assessing options for adapting to climate change is an important part of building resilient fishing and
farming communities.
This brochure is part of a series that collectively detail how a community-based assessment of climate
change was used in partnership with coastal communities and provincial and national-level stakeholders
in Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands. The assessment contains four distinct, but related, steps (Fig 1)
focused on supporting community-level decision-making for adaptation through a series of participatory
action research activities. Each brochure in this series details a specific activity in the four-step assessment.
This series of eight brochures is primarily aimed for use where resources are limited or where it is more
appropriate to use a rapid, qualitative and non-data intensive method of assessment. Community
leaders, local NGOs and regional and national-level government representatives in developing countries
may find this series useful.
In this brochure we provide an introduction to and details of how we conducted a community-based
adaptation assessment of climate change in partnership with community members, local NGOs and
goverment representatives in Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands.
This series of brochures is intended for use more broadly across the Coral Triangle and Pacific region.
