Guiding Our Research

Key Research Questions

Our research is driven by critical questions that help us understand and improve locally led adaptation metrics for small-scale fisheries and vulnerable communities

1

What are the priority adaptation needs and aspirations of SSFs and their vulnerable groups at the local level?

2

What progress has been made in capturing the needs of SSFs in adaptation assessment and what approaches can be used to capture these needs?

3

What metrics capture the aspirations of SSFs including various gender groups and how can these aspirations be enabled in adaptation interventions?

4

How can LLA metrics be aligned to national processes and gain traction in national adaptation planning and global adaptation assessment without just remaining project level numbers?
