Our Climate Change and Adaptation Projects are dedicated to building resilient communities by enhancing their capacity to adapt to the impacts of climate change. We focus on promoting sustainable urban planning, fostering innovative solutions for climate-smart agriculture, and strengthening community-based disaster risk management. Through research, advocacy, and policy influence, we collaborate with local stakeholders to develop adaptive strategies that address the unique vulnerabilities of different regions. Our goal is to empower communities to anticipate, prepare for, and respond effectively to the challenges posed by a changing climate, ensuring a sustainable and inclusive future for all.
Building Resilience Through Evidence and Learning
At Real Link Center for Research and Capacity Building, we are committed to helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change by embedding Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, and Learning (MERL) principles into climate strategies. Our goal is to ensure that adaptation efforts are evidence-driven, inclusive, and sustainable.
Our Focus
We work with organizations and communities to:
- Promote sustainable urban planning
- Foster climate-smart agriculture
- Strengthen community-based disaster risk management
Through research, advocacy, and policy influence, we collaborate with stakeholders to design adaptive strategies that address unique vulnerabilities and build resilience for a sustainable future.
Why MERL Matters in Climate Adaptation
Embedding MERL principles ensures that climate programs:
- Measure impact and effectiveness using global standards like OECD-DAC
- Integrate Theory of Change for clarity and accountability
- Leverage mixed-methods data for informed decision-making
- Adapt and improve continuously through learning cycles
Research Areas
- Impact Assessment – Analyzing socio-economic and environmental impacts of climate change on agriculture, water, and health.
- Resilience Building – Studying adaptive capacity and resource management to strengthen community resilience.
- Ecosystem Adaptation – Promoting nature-based solutions through habitat restoration and biodiversity protection.
- Policy and Governance – Evaluating climate policies and advocating for inclusive, evidence-based frameworks.
- Technological Innovations – Using remote sensing, data analytics, and climate modeling to inform decisions.
Project Initiatives
- Community Adaptation Programs – Empowering communities through participatory planning and local strategies.
- Climate Resilience Training – Building capacity for stakeholders, farmers, and local leaders on adaptation techniques.
- Ecosystem Restoration Projects – Restoring wetlands and forests to enhance biodiversity and climate resilience.
- Research and Policy Advocacy – Generating evidence to influence climate governance and adaptation policies.
