Practical Action is seeking to strengthen livelihood security among poor communities that are vulnerable to natural disasters through a number of awareness raising and knowledge sharing activities:

• Documenting and publishing useful experiences from work on community-based adaptation in South Asia;
• Producing and disseminating audio-visual material that could help enhance the knowledge and skills necessary to adapt to climate change;
• In the future we intend to build upon Practical Action's current experience in using participatory video to help capture local knowledge in a manner that is owned by and shared with communities;
• Undertaking projects in order to establish best practice;
• Work to develop of an analytical framework to guide planning and analysis of adaptation.
