Abstract
Many developing countries are vulnerable to climate change and adaptation to the adverse impact is an urgent issue for those countries. However, in most developing countries, it is still rather difficult and insufficient to address problems and disasters caused by current weather and/or climate condition. In those countries, adaptation are tend to be undertaken not as stand-alone measures, but as a part of regional or national development assistance plans or projects.
This paper proposes a viewpoint to assess adaptation function of such projects. It helps project implementers to understand what kind of adaptation function is already provided and effective in conventional cooperation projects, and what kind of function is insufficient among them.
