Discussion of Learning Platform case studies on climate and development The Adaptation Action Cycles concept and framework has been proposed to assess and understand adaptation (see Park et al 2013). The questions posed by the framework are: What is the nature of vulnerability and the perceived risk? Who or what adapts? What do they adapt to and why? How do they adapt (processes) what are the opportunities for adaptation? What are the costs and/ or benefits of the adaptation decisions? What implementation methods and resources are used? What constrains or incentivises implementation? What impacts result? How well do they adapt? How does the system change? What are the plans for the future?
