Climate Change and Western Public Lands: a Survey of U.S. Federal Land Managers on the Status of Adaptation Efforts (2012, background): “Understanding the barriers to adaptation can also allow for more effective provisioning of resources and information to facilitate further progress in the adaptation process (Moser and Ekstrom 2010).”
The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, background): “In past studies, the paucity of concrete adaptation action has often been attributed to knowledge deficits (see Measham et al., 2011; Moser and Ekstrom, 2010; Preston et al., 2015), for which the solution is assumed to be more scientific research to reduce uncertainties and provide policy-makers…”
Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review (2018, background): “Creating a productive space through coproduction of knowledge removes barriers to climate change adaptation (Dilling & Lemos, 2011; Engle & Lemos, 2010; Moser & Ekstrom, 2010; Rice et al., 2015).”
Ten essentials for action-oriented and second order energy transitions, transformations and climate change research (2018, background): “Second, it focuses on the processes that lead to the outcomes [73], such as understanding the pathways needed to achieve transformation; who would need to take what kinds of action and when; the resources needed to deliver the actions; and the kinds of barriers likely to be encountered on the pathwa”
Climate change adaptation and mitigation in smallholder crop–livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: a call for integrated impact assessments (2016, background): “…recent overviews (e.g. Niang et al. 2014; Lipper et al. 2014) call for a better understanding of specific barriers, as part of multi-scale and widely variable contexts, in order to inform a sustainable transformation of African farming systems (Moser and Ekstrom 2010; Rickards and Howden 2012).”
The Governance of Climate Change Adaptation in 10 OECD Countries: Challenges and Approaches (2012, background): “…scholars identify a range of problems (Berrang-Ford et al., 2011; CEPS, 2008), often referred to as 280 A. Bauer et al. ‘limits’ (Adger et al., 2009; Moser & Ekstrom, 2010), ‘obstacles’ (Hulme et al., 2007; Moser & Ekstrom, 2010; Storbjörk, 2010), ‘barriers’, or ‘challenges’ (Moser, 2009).”
How to Track Adaptation to Climate Change: A Typology of Approaches for National-Level Application (2013, background): “Key Words: adaptation response; adaptation tracking; climate change adaptation; evaluation; indicators; methodology; monitoring; outcome-based tracking, process-based tracking”
Preaching to different choirs: How to motivate dismissive, uncommitted, and alarmed audiences to adapt to climate change? (2016, background): “Consequently, the in ﬂ uence of a message frame is largely determined by its relevance to the audience (Moser & Ekstrom, 2010; Nisbet & Scheufele, 2009).”
Transformational adaptation when incremental adaptations to climate change are insufficient (2012, background): “Leadership is especially important in initiating transformational strategy and action (67, 68).”
Policy without politics: technocratic control of climate change adaptation policy making in Nepal (2016, background): “However, a key challenge is that the people who are vulnerable to climate change are usually the ones who have limited access to livelihood assets or to the decisionmaking processes (Moser & Ekstrom, 2010; Schlosberg, 2012).”
