The role of knowledge and power in climate change adaptation governance: a systematic literature review (2013, background): “…to anticipate today’s risks of natural disasters (IPCC 2012) or future climate impacts by making no-regret investments now (Fankhauser et al. 1999, Heltberg et al. 2009) or by mainstreaming adaptation goals in current policies (Smit and Wandel 2006, Swart and Raes 2007), CCAG goals and…”
Is resilience socially constructed? Empirical evidence from Fiji, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam (2016, neutral): “Beyond this speci ﬁ c example, the empirical literature tends to agree that wealth (and in particular level of household assets) is a particularly important factor to consider in relation to the ability of households to respond to adverse events (see e.g. Carter et al., 2007; Heltberg et al., 2009).”
Economic Resilience to Disasters (2009, methodology): “We have omitted dimensions of resilience in the literature related to vulnerability and adaptation to longterm climate change [see, e.g., Thomalla et al. (2006) and Heltberg et al. (2009)].”
Urban green space cooling effect in cities (2019, background): “While disrupting our daily lives and causing financial losses, these changes are further expected to have serious safety, security, and health implications (Demuzere et al., 2014; Heltberg et al., 2008; Ebi and Paulson, 2007; Khanian et al., 2018).”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “Desirable adaptation strategies may vary according to specific kinds of climate change threat, location, impacted system, the geographical scale of attention, and the time frame of strategic risk management planning (Thomalla et al., 2006; Heltberg et al., 2009; National Research Council, 2010a).”
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): “In light of the above, IAV research must do more to explore how to facilitate institutional arrangements that enhance social integration and accumulation of assets in more equitable and sustainable manners, building on insights in the current literature about how to empower the poor [1 ,54 ,69,70,71”
The roles of land tenure reforms and land markets in the context of population growth and land use intensification in Africa (2014, background): “Policy responses include early warning systems, safety net programs of various forms, livelihood programs, index insurance and microfinance options (Heltberg et al., 2009).”
