• Factors influencing farmers’ choices of adaptation to climate change in Ekiti State, Nigeria (2014, background): “It also refers to all adjustments in behaviour or economic structure that reduce the vulnerability of society to changes in the climate system including its current variability and extreme events as well as longer-term climate change (Smit et al., 2000).”
• Adjustment costs from environmental change (2005, background): “[45] and Kane and Shogren [15], and the volume from the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC [22].”
• Winners and Losers in the Context of Global Change (2003, background): “Adaptation refers to adjustments to a system in response to actual or expected climate stimuli, their effects, or their impacts (Smit et al. 2000).”
• Institutional change, climate risk, and rural vulnerability: Cases from Central Mexico (2005, background): “Thus, while generic lists of adaptive capacity attributes are a useful starting point for any analysis of vulnerability—as have been provided in the recent literature ( Smit, Burton, Klein, & Wandel, 2000; Yohe & Tol, 2001)—such lists need considerable refining to fit the specific social context of”
• A review of the global climate change impacts, adaptation, and sustainable mitigation measures (2022, background): “To some extent, mitigation reduces or moderates greenhouse gas emission, and it becomes a critical issue both economically and environmentally (Botzen et al. 2021; Jahanzad et al. 2020; Kongsager 2018; Smit et al. 2000; Vale et al. 2021; Usman et al. 2021; Verheyen 2005).”
• The dynamics of vulnerability: locating coping strategies in Kenya and Tanzania (2005, background): “Undertaking empirical studies of present-day vulnerability can also play an important role in improving our understanding of the impact of long-term climate change and of measures to facilitate adaptation ( Smit et al. 2000; Kelly and Adger 2000).”
• A framework for analyzing climate change adaptations as actions (2012, methodology): “Many terms of the framework as outlined here can be mapped to the clarifying questions of Smit et al. (2000). “Adaptation to what?” inquires about the purpose of an adaptation in terms of an impact, i.e. a stimulus that affects a considered exposure unit. “Who or what adapts?” asks for the operator,”
• Climate change, food security, and livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (2016, background): “1) refers to the potential of a system to adjust itself to change (Watts and Bohle 1993; Smit et al. 2000; Turner et al. 2003; Füssel and Klein 2006).”

• Climate variability and rural livelihoods: assessing the impact of seasonal climate forecasts in Lesotho (2003, background): “The growing evidence of global environmental change and increased climate variability demands that adaptation options, adaptive capacity and ways to reduce risk should be prioritized (Rayner and Malone 1998; Kelly and Adger 2000; Smit et al. 2000).”
