Specialized Links to Adaptation Documents and Sites
These are some of the best links that I have found over the past few years. In the generally section are documents that give good overviews of the intricacies of community-based adaptation. In the examples of problems and solutions are a number of case studies that detail the problems, and then discuss the solutions the implemented. Lots of good ideas here!
