This manual is part of a package prepared in collaboration with the Hadley
Centre that includes a Regional Climate Model and a Technical Manual. The
final objective of the guide is to describe steps that need to be taken to
prepare, using PRECIS, high-resolution climate change scenarios.

The manual’s purpose is to help countries develop socio-economic scenarios
in relation to the Adaptation Policy Framework (UNDP, 2004). This is to analyze
vulnerability and adaptation as part of its National Communications.

Vulnerability to environmental degradation and natural dangers is mentioned
with social, poverty and gender aspects. Because many areas of development
policies and practices do not include the gender perspective in an efficient
manner, the potential impacts of climate change on gender relations have not
been studied and remain out of sight. This article highlights predictions on
climate change and explores its long-term effects on agriculture, ecological
systems and gender relations. It asks that gender analysis be included in
public policy making.

Gives examples of the social impact of the tsunami of 2004 in Indonesia, India
and Sri Lanka. Although not caused by climate change, it had a devastating
effect, particularly on women. Includes recommended action to be taken to
ensure the needs of men and women are met, and that the disproportionate
impacts on women are taken into account in the recovery process.

In response to growing pressures on landscapes and livelihoods, people
are moving, communities are adapting. This issue of FMR debates the
numbers, the definitions and the modalities – and the tension between the
need for research and the need to act. Thirty-eight articles by UN, academic,
international and local actors explore the extent of the potential displacement
crisis, community adaptation and coping strategies, and the search for
solutions.
