Determinants of smallholder farmers’ decision to adopt adaptation options to climate change and variability in the Muger Sub basin of the Upper Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia (2017, background): “The impact on agriculture is manifested by increasing incidence of floods, droughts, and unpredictable rainfall [18, 19] and has resulted in food shortage and famine in the past [20–23], and they continue to pose a serious threat to Ethiopia’s development [12].”
Cause and response: vulnerability and climate in the Anthropocene (2014, background): “…this kind of research robust, a large number of in-depth case studies would need to be developed and compared to identify the most salient causal factors at different social, political-economic and institutional scales (see Ribot 2013 for further discussion of comparative vulnerability research).”
Policy without politics: technocratic control of climate change adaptation policy making in Nepal (2016, background): “Nowhere in the document is the recognition of Ribot’s widely accepted view that vulnerability is produced as much on the ground (i.e within society) as in the sky (Ribot, 2010).”
Linking smallholder farmer climate change adaptation decisions to development (2016, background): “Second, given the argument that climate change adaptation should be about reducing vulnerabilities and risks (Ribot, 2009), placing results from various smallholder adaptation studies into our typology of risk-reducing strategies is a way to facilitate comparison across studies and to make…”
Climate change adaptation: factors influencing Chinese smallholder farmers’ perceived self-efficacy and adaptation intent (2016, background): “…to global environmental change and globalization (Leichenko and O’Brien 2008), and low levels of adaptive capacity caused by on-the-ground social conditions, such as inequality, poverty, and poor planning, (Ribot 2009) will likely exacerbate many of the difficulties smallholders already face.”
Application of Livelihood Vulnerability Index in Assessing Vulnerability to Climate Change and Variability in Northern Ghana (2013, background): “According to Ribot (2009), vulnerability analysis is often discussed either in the light of risk-hazard or social constructivist frameworks.”
Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review (2018, background): “A number of disastrous floods and cyclones in Bangladesh led the government to shift from an emphasis on disaster relief and recovery to early warning and evacuation systems, resulting in a remarkable reduction in fatalities associated with such events (Ribot, 2010).”
