Factors influencing climate change adaptation by smallholder farmers in the Talensi district of Ghana
This study investigates factors influencing smallholder farmers’ choice of climate change actions in one of Ghana’s climate change hotspots – the Talensi district. A stepwise logistic regression model and thematic and narrative analyses were employed to examine the impacts of climate perception, livelihood capitals, and institutional intervention on smallholder farmers’ adoption of six common climate change actions. All smallholder farmers report…
The role of intersectionality in shaping adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers in the Talensi district of Ghana
In the Talensi district of Ghana, smallholder farmers adapt to climate change—including variability, extreme weather events, and long-term temperature shifts—in varied and unequal ways. This study delves into the intersectional nature of this inequality. Specifically, it explores how the socio-demographics of these smallholder farmers intersect with their livelihood capitals, shaping their capacity for climate adaptation. Drawing from a systemati…
Effects of investments in GI on buyers' Interest in a Swedish residential apartment development
Cities require a change in the design of medium and high-density housing to increase green infrastructure (GI). GI provides ecosystem services: including better air quality, removal of carbon dioxide, urban heat island attenuation, biodiversity, attenuation of stormwater runoff, and space for people to have social interaction and engagement. However, GI requires investment by developers. To be worthwhile, such investment must make developments mo…

Benefits of farmer managed natural regeneration to food security in semi-arid Ghana
Promoting Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) aims to increase the productive capacities of farmer households. Under FMNR, farmers select and manage natural regeneration on farmlands and keep them under production. While FMNR contributes to the wealth of farming communities, its contribution to household food security has rarely been researched. We, therefore, used a mixed-methods approach to address the research gap by measuring FMNR’s co…
Management of small irrigation tank cascade systems (STCS) in Sri Lanka
Small water storages are recognized as a key invention that facilitated the colonization of the dry zone of Sri Lanka. These small reservoirs, referred to as ‘tanks’, were initially constructed to collect the local runoff and this practice gradually evolved into the construction of larger tanks. Originally tanks were primarily managed by local communities to suit their livelihoods, often as linked Small Tank Cascade Systems (STCS). During the Bri…
Patterns of same-day alcohol and cannabis use in adolescents and young adults with risky alcohol use
Same-day alcohol and cannabis use is relatively common in adolescents and young adults, constituting a higher-risk behavior relative to single-substance use. However, the association between quantity of alcohol and cannabis use on co-use days is understudied. We examined the association between the quantity of alcohol and same-day cannabis use with a multilevel regression analysis in a sample of youth (16-24 years old) with risky alcohol use. Par…

The Continuum of Community Engagement in Research
A broadly defined CEnR continuum will allow researchers, community members and organizations to readily identify 1) where they are on the continuum of CEnR, 2) appropriate access points to enter the continuum based on existing contextual factors, and 3) actions to promote progression on the continuum. Funders have the opportunity to specify the appropriate level of CE needed to accomplish the goals of their identified priorities
