| Abstract (English): |
Adaptation to climate change, understood as the moderation of sensitivities and the strengthening of adaptive capacities modifies the conditions and, consequently, the impacts of climate change on vulnerable populations. On the other hand, adaptive capacity depends on public policies tailored to different groups’ social, economic, and environmental realities. This article discusses specific vulnerabilities, adaptive measures and opportunities identified through semi-structured interviews and participatory workshops in three groups with different socio-environmental profiles: the Fundo de Pasto (FP) traditional communities in Northern Bahia, the Tuxá indigenous community in Rodelas/ BA and the irrigated perimeters of the Juazeiro/BA-Petrolina/PE pole. These case studies confirm that adaptation is strongly conditioned by the physical characteristics of the region where the population is located (such as rainfall levels and proximity to perennial water bodies, which condition “risks”); but that it also depends on a wide range of social, economic, cultural, and political factors.

| Abstract (Portuguese): |
A adaptação às mudanças climáticas, entendida como moderação das sensibilidades e fortalecimento das capacidades adaptativas, modifica as condições e consequentemente os impactos do clima nas populações vulneráveis. Por outro lado, a capacidade adaptativa depende de políticas públicas adequadas à realidade social, econômica e ambiental. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo discute vulnerabilidades específicas, medidas adaptativas e oportunidades identificadas por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e oficinas participativas em três grupos de diferentes perfis socioambientais: as comunidades tradicionais de Fundo de Pasto (FP) no norte da Bahia, a comunidade indígena Tuxá em Rodelas/BA e os perímetros irrigados do polo Juazeiro/BA-Petrolina/PE. Os estudos de caso confirmam que a adaptação está fortemente condicionada às características físicas do local em que a população se encontra (como o regime de chuvas e proximidade de corpos hídricos perenes, fatores que condicionam o “risco”), mas que também depende de uma ampla gama de fatores sociais, econômicos, culturais e políticos.
