• Vulnerability, poverty and the need for sustainable adaptation measures (2007, background): “Many of the processes that generate vulnerability to climate change are closely associated with poverty (Burton et al., 2002; AfDB et al., 2003).”
• Integrating mitigation and adaptation into climate and development policy: three research questions (2005, background): “Since the IPCC TAR established that humans are – at least in part – responsible for climate change and that some impacts can no longer be avoided, academic and policy attention for adaptation has increased sharply (Burton et al., 2002).”
• Synergy of adaptation and mitigation strategies in the context of sustainable development: the case of Vietnam (2003, background): “…as a marginal option by scientists and decision makers worldwide, adaptation is currently receiving more attention as a crucial part of a comprehensive global climate policy along with mitigation (Smith, 1997; UNEP/IVM, 1998; Kates, 2000; IPCC, 2001a; Adger, 2001; Burton et al., 2002; Huq, 2002).”
• The tools of climate adaptation policy: analysing instruments and instrument selection (2016, background): “Burton et al. (2002), for example, assert that ‘effective climate adaptation policy cannot be made on a “standalone” basis, but has to be incorporated into other policies’ (p. 156).”
• Institutional adaptation to climate change: Flood responses at the municipal level in Norway (2005, background): “At the same time, high adaptive capacity does not automatically lead to successful adaptation (Yohe and Tol, 2002; Smit et al., 2001; Burton et al., 2002).”
• What we know, do not know, and need to know about climate change vulnerability in the western Canadian Arctic: a systematic literature review (2010, methodology): “Similar versions of this approach are widely used in the literature (Adger 2006, Burton et al 2002, Eakin and Luers 2006, Smit and Wandel 2006).”
• Impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to global environmental change: challenges and pathways for an action-oriented research agenda for middle-income and low-income countries (2010, background): “This assumption is not borne out by studies [7,86,87], suggesting that a deep understanding of MLICs’ strategy choices in the area of climate-related research and action requires consideration also of the subjective, political, historical and cultural factors that shape the interpretive frameworks o”
• Adaptation and development: Livelihoods and climate change in Subarnabad, Bangladesh (2009, background): “…with development initiatives that reduce existing vulnerabilities and increase people’s adaptive capacity in a broad sense, then this will bring both immediate benefits as well as strengthen people’s ability to deal with future threats (Burton et al., 2002; Huq et al., 2003; Adger et al., 2007).”
• Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “On the one hand, climate change will affect development policy as needs to respond to negative, and perhaps positive, impacts arise (Burton et al., 2002; Halsnaes and Verhagen, 2007; IPCC, 2007a; Schipper, 2007).”
• Country level risk measures of climate-related natural disasters and implications for adaptation to climate change (2003, background): “The need for adaptation may therefore be greatest in those areas, regions and sectors of 1 society that are already at the edge of their coping ranges (see Smit et al., 2001; Jones et al., 2002; Burton et al., 2002).”
• Portfolio screening to support the mainstreaming of adaptation to climate change into development assistance (2007, background): “However, the traditional view of adaptation is being challenged for three reasons (e.g., Smithers and Smit, 1997; Burton et al., 2002; Adger et al., 2003; Smith et al., 2003).”
• Fair adaptation to climate change (2006, background): “To understand the justice implications of adaptation, it is important to identify how decisions on adaptive responses are made, how adaptive responses are timed with respect to climate change impacts (Burton et al., 2002) and what is the incidence of consequences of adaptation decisions such as welf”
