Participatory rural appraisal

Case Study Ouranos Energy Using weADAPT as its foundation, Ouranos developed a website with an interactive, web-accessible database that pools and disseminates information on energy sector adaptation. Resulting from its project, “Adaptation Case Studies in the Energy Sector – Overcoming Barriers to Adaptation” the “Energy Adaptation Map” will eventually include information from roughly 200 case studies. Harnessing weADAPT’s technology, the Energy Adaptation Map immediately benefits from existing weADAPT website traffic, social media activity and links back into weADAPT’s knowledge base where relevant.

Exploring the role of forests for mitigation, adaptation, and livelihoods can identify potential synergies and trade-offs.These case studies are based on local experiences in Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam in an attempt to explore how community forestry may contribute to adaptation and mitigation goals. They are exploratory and descriptive in nature and although not purporting to be representative of the region, they provide a foundation for a better understanding of these relationships. The case studies for the five focus countries are included with this publication.
