The project Climate Change Adaptation in Post-Disaster Recovery Processes: Flood-Affected Communities in Cambodia and Fiji explores how rural communities living in flood-prone river basins of Cambodia and Fiji respond to increasing incidences of floods and changes to seasonal flood patterns under the influence of climate change and other risk factors, such as hydro-power development, forest conversion and environmental degradation. Our research approach integrates the food, water and energy security nexus with the rural livelihood framework as a lens to examine climate change adaptation strategies in post-disaster recovery processes that enhance the sustainability and adaptive capacities of rural communities.
