Local migrations and climate change: the incapacity to adapt index. A case study in the West Arsi Woreda (Ethiopia).
Résumé
Droughts and floods caused by climate changes impoverish rural regions and as a consequence people leave rural areas, reinforcing existing migration trends in a downward cycle.Local people movements are the first effect of the climate changes, that modify the main environmental resources. In this framework, vulnerability and resilience analysis are sound tools to identify the most critical situations. In this work, the data obtained by a survey conducted by an NGO in three Ethiopian Woredas were the input for the incapacity to adapt calculation. The index mapping highlighted a critical situation especially in one of the three analyzed Woredas.
