Smallholder farmers’ adaptation to climate change and determinants of their adaptation decisions in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia (2017, background): “The respondents articulated the need to integrate tree planting, crop production and livestock production as a package of climate smart agriculture [11, 12].”
Linking agricultural adaptation strategies, food security and vulnerability: evidence from West Africa (2016, neutral): “Although the scientiﬁc community started looking for appropriate responses to climate change years ago (Downing et al. 1997), questions remain with respect to how, where and for whom different adaptation strategies work (Adger et al. 2003; Challinor et al. 2007; Cooper et al. 2008).”
Firm relocation as adaptive response to climate change and weather extremes (2011, background): “Impacts such as sudden discontinuities in the Earth’s climate or more than one extreme weather event in sequence may severely undermine firms’ abilities to adapt (Adger et al., 2003).”
Understanding the relationships between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation: A conceptual framework (2014, neutral): “Whilst the term adaptation has implicit connotations of beneficial change, there is also the potential for maladaptation (Adger et al., 2003; Coulthard, 2012).”
Entrenchment or Enhancement: Could Climate Change Adaptation Help to Reduce Chronic Poverty? (2009, background): “The common generic conclusion is that those exposed to the most severe hazards are also those least able to cope with the associated impacts (Smit et al. 2001; ADB et al. 2003; Adger et al. 2003).”
Evaluating Successful Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change in Southern Africa (2010, background): “…in the face of real but uncertain global climate change is critical if communities, particularly in the developing world, are to adapt to meet future challenges (Adger et al. 2003, Washington et al. 2004, Low 2005, Hulme et al. 2005, Cash et al. 2006, Walker et al. 2006, IPCC 2007, Toulmin 2009).”
Sustainable adaptation: An oxymoron? (2011, background): “…likely that those people who are currently marginalized will be among the more severely affected, and indeed it has been argued that climate change is likely to exacerbate and reinforce inequalities both through dynamic vulnerability and the processes of adaptation itself (Adger et al., 2003).”
Fair adaptation to climate change (2006, background): “Second, individual adaptation is not autonomous: choice sets of individuals are determined by antecedent collective action and collective action is taken to alter individuals’ choice sets (Adger et al., 2003).”
