%X This paper presents a preliminary analysis of work conducted along altitudinal gradients in the mountains and plains of northern Tanzania. We find evidence of a high degree of interdependence among groups of people of different language/cultural groups and socio-economic status interacting along environmental gradients from high to low altitude. We call this ¡°socio-geographical adaptation¡± to climate change. However, our analysis and discussion adds complexity to any simple notion of ¡°adaptation to climate change¡± since changes are multiple and adaptation is complex.
