Deltas, vulnerability and climate change: Migration and adaptation (DECCMA)
The adaptive strategies available to deltas residents (eg disaster risk reduction, land use management or polders) may not be adequate to cope with pervasive, systematic, or surprise changes associated with climate change. Hence large movements of deltaic people are often projected under climate change. DECCMA is an approximately five-year programme of applied research on the adaptation options, limits and potential in deltaic environments to current weather variability and extremes, as well as climate change.
