Fostering climate change adaptive capacity

2022
Im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte waren wir Zeugen des ständigen Klimawandels sowie der zunehmenden Beweise der damit verbundenen Risiken auf den Menschen. Auch erlebten wir einen deutlichen Anstieg von Anpassungsstrategien, -maßnahmen und -plänen auf sämtlichen Regierungsebenen zur Reaktion auf die Risiken und Anforderungen des Klimawandels.

Climate Change Awareness Is Associated With Enhanced Adaptive Capacity

Agricultural Systems, 2013
Primary resource industries considering adaptation action in response to current or future climate changes need to consider the adaptive capacity of their constituent members if an industry-wide response is to occur.

Adaptive Capacity and Human Cognition: The Process of Individual Adaptation to Climate Change

Global Environmental Change, 2005
Abstract Adaptation has emerged as an important area of research and assessment among climate change scientists. Most scholarly work has identified resource constraints as being the most significant determinants of adaptation. However, empirical research on adaptation has so far mostly not addressed the importance of measurable and alterable ...

Assessing Institutional Adaptive Capacity in Iran’s Climate Change Governance: an Adaptive Capacity Wheel Approach

Environmental Management
This study set out to comprehensively evaluate institutional adaptive capacity in Iran's climate change governance, using the Adaptive Capacity Wheel (ACW) framework. Through a detailed content analysis of key national laws and programs from 1967 to 2024, our findings revealed a nonlinear and fluctuating trend in this capacity.

Megacities and Climate Change: Early Adapters, Mainstream Adapters and Capacities

2013
In this chapter, the relationship between the necessity of making urban adaptation responses to climate change and the competences and capacities in megacities is analysed. The experience of early adapters (cities that have already initiated local adaptation strategies and plans) reveals that these cities are able to seize several opportunities.

Urbanization Pressures on Climate Adaptation Capacity of Forest Habitats

Global Change Biology
ABSTRACTUrbanization extensively shapes the wildland–urban interfaces (WUIs). However, the effects of urbanization on forest habitats in WUIs as thermal refuges for biodiversity remain elusive. Here, we show that urbanization‐induced increases in human footprints cause canopy degradation of forest habitats in WUIs, including declines in forest coverage
