Invited by the Bureau d’Analyses Macro Économiques (BAME) in Dakar, Senegal, we and twenty participants examined and analyzed the research conducted since 2001 on the subject of climate change adaptation. BAME operates as a research unit within the Institut Sénégalais de Recherches Agricoles (ISRA).
After identifying the main countries engaged in research on this subject, followed by the leading research institutions, we conducted a lexical extraction. This process enabled us to categorize the documents by research themes and position them within the semantic landscape, as well as to follow the temporal evolution of these themes.
Finally, we calculated the levels of specialization across continents on these topics (see heatmaps for Africa, Asia, South America, Europe, North America, Oceania), notably to propose five subjects for the group work session on the second day.
