This pilot study aimed to understand climate risks and uncertainty within local communities and demonstrate the integration of adaptation into local development plans. It began with an assessment of climate risks, vulnerability and uncertainty in a community within the Sapanhin sub-district, Nong Mamong district, Chainat province, Thailand. From this, climate change adaptation options to support planning decisions were developed. The study employed a mixture of approaches, including a vulnerability assessment, Participatory Rural Appraisal, a review of local development plans and related documents, in-depth interviews, household surveys and focus group discussions.
