Synthesis Website?
 A tool to inform you about the methods, tools
and data being used by your colleagues
working on similar problems
 A resource providing:
 Bibliography of journal articles, working papers,
data & information web portals, etc.
 A database of relevant data sets
 Information on methodologies
 Sources and background for tools
 A means to synthesize and communicate info
to other researchers and stakeholders
 An aid in National Communications
Sources of Information
 The Project Profile Survey sent out in
November 2002
 IPCC, UNDP-APF, UNFCCC, and other
resources for impacts, adaptation and
vulnerability assessment
 CIESIN’s catalogue of data sets
Goals During the Meeting

Box 6. Vulnerability and Adaptive Capacity
Entitlements Theory of Amartya Sen
Sen’s "entitlements approach" to the analysis of famine, and hunger and poverty more generally,
has become relatively widely known…... Sen has used the entitlements approach as a framework
for thinking broadly about policy alternatives to prevent and reduce deprivation. This framework,
including a strong stress on varied forms of "public action" besides direct state action. / ………
Sen, A.: "Ingredients of Famine Analysis: Availability and Entitlements", Quarterly Journal of
Economics, vol. 95, 1981, pp. 433-64. Also published in Resources, Values and Development, the
same writer, Basil Blackwell, Oxford 1984. / ………
