Sustainable adaptation: An oxymoron? (2011, background): “Carr (2008) found that adaptation re-enforces and legitimates gender roles in Ghana, and Eriksen and Lind (2009) show how adaptation may strengthen or retain existing power structures and inequalities and exacerbate conflict in Kenya.”
Linking smallholder farmer climate change adaptation decisions to development (2016, background): “…environmental management actions identified from our literature review suggests a need to assess whether these actions would be maladaptive under plausible future climate scenarios and if they would produce inequalities and exacerbate certain types of risk within a community over time (Carr, 2008).”
Anticipatory Learning for Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience (2010, background): “Carr (2008) questions the fairness, durability, and gender implications of seemingly successful local adaptations.”
