TroFCCA is a research initiative on adaptation to climate change. During its four years, it expects to produce research relevant for policy processes in the countries where it is implemented by :

  • Focusing its activities on development topics of regional/national priority and for which forests play a substantial role; these topics were chosen in consultation with national governments and as part of a policy dialogue implemented through workshops.
  • Developing methodologies to assess vulnerability relating to the topics identified above.
  • Applying these methodologies to assess vulnerability to identify adaptation priorities.
  • Developing work on adaptation in conjunction with national partners, aimed at specifying adaptation needs and strategies in the context of the above development topics.
  • Identifying and developing ways to incorporate adaptation concerns into national policies, including sectorial ones.
  • Triggering innovative mechanisms to finance adaptation, like the participation of the private sector.
  • Establishing a regional policy dialogue to enhance regional cooperation on adaptation.
