Climate resilience through bioeconomy: A mixed-methods protocol for assessing adaptation policies in rural settlements on the Amazon.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Climate change intensifies social, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities in Amazonian rural communities, where dependence on natural resources and limited institutional capacity constrain adaptation. The bioeconomy is often proposed as an alternative pathway for sustainable development, yet empirical evidence of its role in resilience remains scarce.

Objective

This study protocol presents a mixed methods design to evaluate climate adaptation policies and community resilience strategies in agrarian reform settlements, rural territories created through Brazil's land redistribution program, in Pará, Brazil. Although centered on a regional case, the protocol is structured to generate insights applicable to other socioecologically vulnerable rural contexts in t
