Environmental Stressors and Migration: Evidence from Vietnam (2016, background): “Individuals are likely to first try and abate the respective environmental problem and/or adapt to it before they consider migration (e.g. Adger et al. 2007; Roncoli et al. 2001).”
Who can eat information? Examining the effectiveness of seasonal climate forecasts and regional climate-risk management strategies (2006, background): “…and that forecast use must be understood within the context of local livelihoods and the wider institutional environment in which forecasts are currently embedded (Eakin 1999, 2000, Nelson & Finan 2000, O’Brien et al. 2000, Vogel 2000, Roncoli et al. 2001, Lemos et al. 2002, Tarhule & Lamb 2003).”
The dynamics of vulnerability: locating coping strategies in Kenya and Tanzania (2005, background): “Rather than being passive victims, vulnerable people are a heterogeneous group, facing differing opportunities and constraints, and are actively engaged in diverse strategies to reduce risk (Scoones et al. 1996; Christoplos et al. 2001; Roncoli et al. 2001).”
Social Capital, Collective Action, and Adaptation to Climate Change (2003, background): “the face of unknown environmental and other risks (see also Berkes and Jolly 2001; Little et al. 2001; Roncoli, Ingram, and Kirshen 2001).”
Is resilience socially constructed? Empirical evidence from Fiji, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam (2016, positive): “…is certainly a feature which development practitioners or policy makers would like to reinforce, since these coping strategies (reducing expenses or food consumption, borrowing money, or selling assets) are generally recognized to be detrimental in the long-term (Roncoli et al., 2001).”
Fielding Climate Change in Cultural Anthropology (2009, background): “Within households, women, children, and the elderly may see their needs curtailed, their work burden increased, and their assets diminished or appropriated by others (Denton 2002; Roncoli et al. 2001).”
Adaptation to climate change in the developing world (2003, background): “…face of changing climate has been documented for smallholder farmers in Bangladesh and Vietnam, and indigenous hunting communities in the Canadian Arctic (e.g., Cross and Barker, 1992; Mortimore, 1998; Huq et al., 1999; Huq, 2001; Berkes and Jolly, 2001; Adger et al. 2001b; Roncoli et al., 2001).”
Making index insurance attractive to farmers (2009, background): “There are a number of coping strategies that participants in traditional farming systems employ to cope with climate variability (Scoones et al. 1996), some relying on risk spreading ( Roncoli et al. 2001 ), and others relying on the use of both traditional and scientifically derived seasonal climat”
