From 2002 to 2007, START led the Assessments of Impacts and Adaptation to Climate Change (AIACC) project, a global initiative to advance scientific understanding of climate change vulnerabilities and adaptation options in developing countries.
The project involved over 300 scientists and produced 24 subregional studies and more than 200 publications that provided critical input to the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
START partnered on this project with UNEP, the Academy of Sciences of the Developing World (TWAS) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with funding by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
