The ASSAR Spotlight
26 Nov 2015

ASSAR (Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions) project has just published the very first ASSAR Spotlight! In these differently-themed and zippy quarterly publications the ASSAR project team members recount their experiences, insights and lessons-learned.

This time around, the Spotlight focuses on communicating climate information. It grapples with increasingly relevant topics, such as which climate messages are most important, which audiences are key, and how we can all talk to each other, rather than past each other.
