Integrated strategies to reduce vulnerability and advance adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development (2007, background): “These institutions also contribute to M&A capacities (Smit et al. 2001; Yohe 2001), and serve as the foundations of civil societies and democratic systems.”
A new scenario framework for climate change research: the concept of shared socioeconomic pathways (2014, background): “…national and international institutions for policy making, the availability of financial resources necessary to support mitigation activities, stocks of human and social capital, and political will for addressing energy and environmental issues (Yohe 2001; Winkler et al. 2007; Klein et al. 2007).”
Adaptation, mitigation, and their disharmonious discontents: an essay (2012, background): “Moreover, the factors that enable society to mitigate and adapt are similar and often the same (Yohe 2001).”
Energy policies for sustainable development in South Africa's residential and electricity sectors Implications for mitigating climate change (2007, background): “"The best climate policies for some nations over the foreseeable future may have nothing specific to do with climate" (Yohe 2001: 261).”
Transforming barriers into enablers of action on climate change: Insights from three municipal case studies in British Columbia, Canada (2010, background): “Climate change policy scholars have argued that adaptation is likely to be implemented only if it is consistent with programs designed to cope with non-climatic stresses (Yohe, 2001) and this claim has been echoed on the mitigation side (O'Riordan et al.”
Integrating mitigation and adaptation into climate and development policy: three research questions (2005, background): “…adaptation are not merely the implementation of options; successful implementation depends on the availability of various types of resources to create an enabling environment for mitigation and adaptation, including the capacity to adapt and mitigate (Klein, 2001; Smit et al., 2001; Yohe, 2001).”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “Mitigation and development also interact in a third way in that different groups and countries’ abilities to implement mitigation critically depends on their “mitigative capacity” (Yohe, 2001): their “ability to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions or enhance natural sinks” and the “skills,”
