• Characterising the nature of household vulnerability to climate variability: empirical evidence from two regions of Ghana (2013, result): “These findings reaffirm previous research by Eriksen et al. (2005) and contribute additional evidence that suggests that female-headed households without any reliable nonfarm income jobs are more vulnerable than male-headed households.”
• Climate change and capture fisheries: potential impacts, adaptation and mitigation (2009, background): “In 2001 the 90 000 or so ships over 100 tonnes in the world fleet, consumed around 280 million tonnes of fuel, with emissions of around 813 Tg CO2 and 21.4 Tg NOx (a powerful GHG) in 2000 (Eyring et al., 2005).”
• Exploring drought vulnerability in Africa: an indicator based analysis to be used in early warning systems (2013, background): “Although there are a number of studies focusing on local case evaluations of vulnerability (Eriksen et al., 2005; Eriksen and O’Brien, 2007; Anderson et al., 2012; van Huijgevoort et al., 2012; Welsh et al., 2013), the majority of the studies focuses mainly on the hazards, due in large part to the d”
• Vulnerability, poverty and the need for sustainable adaptation measures (2007, background): “Most households are only able to engage in activities that yield marginal incomes, such as casual employment or collection of forest fruits (Eriksen et al., 2005).”
• Measuring household vulnerability to climate-induced stresses in pastoral rangelands of Kenya: Implications for resilience programming (2014, result): “This concurs with studies by Eriksen et al. (2005) and Notenbaert et al. (2013) which similarly observed some of these factors to be the key determinant of households’ vulnerability to climate variability and change in rural communities.”
• Addressing Human Vulnerability to Climate Change: Toward a 'No Regrets' Approach (2009, unknown): “The key is to understand the risks associated with climate change and climate vulnerability facing the poor and the vulnerable and to design instruments that help people manage these risks and support them as active agents in creating resilience (Eriksen et al., 2005).”
• A systematic review of dynamics in climate risk and vulnerability assessments (2017, background): “Most often, dynamics of vulnerability is understood as a shift or change in vulnerability over time (Eriksen et al 2005, Westerhoff and Smit 2009).”
• Intersections of Gender and Marital Status in Accessing Climate Change Adaptation: Evidence from Rural Tanzania (2016, background): “For most of the women, who work under domestic labor constraints and bear the brunt of responsibility for agricultural tasks, it is a challenge to find time to embark on specialized non-farm activities (Eriksen et al., 2005).”
• PERCEPTIONS AND ADAPTATIONS OF BEEKEEPERS AND HONEY HUNTERS TO CLIMATE CHANGE: THE CASE OF THE COMMUNES OF NATITINGOU AND TANGUIETA IN NORTHWEST OF BENIN (2012, unknown): “Most studies on coping strategies have focused on those that substitute for farming in times of disaster (Kennedy, 1992; Jaspars and Young, 1995; Eriksen et al., 2005).”
• Sustainable adaptation: An oxymoron? (2011, background): “Eriksen and O’Brien (2007) show why this is not the case, highlighting how the experiences and states of vulnerability and poverty are distinct.”
