Our work contributes to the wider body of knowledge on adaptation through the publication of research reports, working papers, and articles in academic journals. Some of these knowledge proucts are the outputs of specific assignments undertaken on behalf of our clients, while others are the result of collaborations with colleagues active in adaptation research and practice. The publications listed below are the outputs of Garama contracts, or formally acknowledge Garama’s authorial input. Links to outputs are provided where these are in the public domain.
