• Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review (2018, background): “This is an example of the “safe development paradox,” where “increased safety induces increased development leading to increased losses” (Kates, Colten, Laska, & Leatherman, 2006, p. 14653; see also Adger et al., 2005).”
• Transaction costs, collective action and adaptation in managing complex social–ecological systems (2013, background): “This concept refers both to the building of adaptive capacity, which strengthens the ability of individuals, associations, organisations, governments and other enterprises to adapt to changes, as well as to the conversion of that capacity to action by way of implementing adaptation decisions (Adger ”
• Smallholder farmer cropping decisions related to climate variability across multiple regions (2014, background): “As such, reliable climate information provides farmers with predictive knowledge about environmental risks that helps them overcome prior knowledge constraints (Adger et al., 2005, 2009; Rosenzweig and Udry, 2013).”
• Governance and the Capacity to Manage Resilience in Regional Social-Ecological Systems (2006, background): “The ability to learn and adapt implies that a system can get better at pursuing a particular set of management objectives over time and at tackling new objectives when the context changes (Adger et al. 2005, Brooks et al. 2005, Folke et al. 2005).”
• Perceived Self-Efficacy and Adaptation to Climate Change in Coastal Cambodia (2015, background): “Previous research demonstrates that adaptation is a more complex and iterative process concerning individuals, institutions, and multilevel government groups (see [5,36,51–55]).”
• 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, positive): “In an inquiry into social limitations to climate change adaptation, Adger et al. (2008) argued that, in addition to limitations presented by availability of technology and the capacity for learning, other elements including perceptions and knowledge considerations within society fundamentally limit ”
• Grassroots Localisation? The Scalar Potential of and Limits of the ‘Transition’ Approach to Climate Change and Resource Constraint (2013, background): “Thus arguments move beyond conceptions of resilience that stress bouncing back to the pre-crisis situation (Adger et al., 2005) in favour of ‘bouncing forward’ to what they see as a more sustainable and inclusive world.”
• The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, methodology): “, 2008; Smit & Wandel, 2006), but in this paper we focus on the capacity of LAs to access and use climate science, because this usability gap has been identified in previous research as a key barrier for adaptation by local government (Adger et al., 2005; Archie et al., 2014; Kuhlicke & Demeritt, 20”
• What motivates coastal households to adapt pro-actively to sea-level rise and increasing flood risk? (2013, methodology): “Adger et al. (2005) note that adaptation of individuals also depends on institutional structures, for example rules and duties. In relation to this, Terpstra (2011) suggests that trust in public measures and its negative influence on the perception of likelihood of flooding is a good predictor for n”
• Vulnerability of national economies to the impacts of climate change on fisheries (2009, background): “…because most policy responses relating to planned climate change adaptation and fisheries management are or will be implemented at national levels (Adger et al. 2005a), and even those at local 2009 The Authors 174 Journal compilation 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, F I S H and F I S H E R I E S ,…”
• The social structural foundations of adaptation and transformation in social-ecological systems (2017, background): “Similarly, navigating a transformation implies inducing changes in human behavior and coordinating institutions and rules at different organizational levels of society (Adger et al. 2005).”
• Perceptions and responses to climate policy risks among California farmers (2013, background): “Global climate change will require socio-ecological systems to adapt across multiple geographic, time, and ecological scales (Adger et al., 2005).”
• Effective livelihood adaptation to climate change disturbance: Scale dimensions of practice in Mozambique (2008, background): “Likewise, it is not clear how building human capacity will support long-term resilience to climate change without also addressing other constraining factors, such as institutional and trade structures, land rights, elite capture and poverty (Hanlon, 1996; Pontera, 1997; Unruh, 1998; Ellis and Biggs,”
• 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): “However, inequities that reduce environmental sustainability occur not only within and between countries and population sectors, but also as a result of power distributions among institutions [21].”
