Linking development to climate adaptation: Leveraging generic and specific capacities to reduce vulnerability to drought in NE Brazil (2016, background): “In principle, these capitals form the basis of households’ ability to manage risk, respond to economic opportunities and adapt to multiple forms of stress, including those associated with climate variability and change (Bebbington, 1999; Yohe and Tol, 2002; Brooks et al., 2005).”
Cause and response: vulnerability and climate in the Anthropocene (2014, background): “Pre-existing poverty remains the most salient of the conditions that shape climate-related vulnerability (Sen 1999, 171–2, Yohe and Tol 2002, 29, Prowse 2003, 3, Pelling 2003, 52, Cannon et al. 2004, 5, Anderson et al. 2010, Heltberg et al. 2010, Cardona et al. 2012, 67).”
Why Worry about Climate Change? A Research Agenda (2008, background): “This is because poorer countries have a lower adaptive capacity (Adger, 2006; Alberini et al., 2006; Smit and Wandel, 2006; Yohe and Tol, 2002), particularly in health (Tol, 2005b), and have a greater exposure to climate change, particularly in agriculture and water resources.”
National Systems of Entrepreneurship: Measurement issues and policy implications (2014, background): “According to the TOC, improvement can only be achieved by strengthening the weakest link – the bottleneck – that constrains the performance of the system (Goldratt, 1994; Tol and Yohe, 2006; Yohe and Tol, 2001).”
Fair adaptation to climate change (2006, background): “Research on adaptation to climate change defines vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity (Adger, 2003; Smit and Pilifosova, 2003; Yohe and Tol, 2002).”
The impact of climate change and the social cost of carbon (2018, background): “Third, poorer countries tend to have a limited adaptive capacity (Adger, 2006, Yohe and Tol, 2002).”
Ending Extreme Poverty and Sharing Prosperity: Progress and Policies (2015, background): “The size and incidence of the impact of climate change on a given country depends on country-specific factors related to its exposure to climate shocks and the country’s ability to adapt (Füssel and Klein 2006; Yohe and Tol 2009).”
Developing Credible Vulnerability Indicators for Climate Adaptation Policy Assessment (2007, background): “For example, focusing on the main elements of adaptive capacity in terms of technological, financial and institutional capacity (Yohe and Tol 2002) leads to the selection of indicators of economic resources, technology, information and skills, infrastructure, institutions, and equity (McCarthy et al”
Using Expert Judgment to Assess Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change: Evidence From a Conjoint Choice Survey (2005, unknown): “First, it has been argued that democratic and participatory processes can sometimes slow down adaptation measures and hinder centralized adaptive planning (Adger, 2000; Yohe and Tol, 2002).”
The Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change: A Comment (2006, unknown): “Second, the model assumes that vulnerability to climate change is independent of development (Yohe and Tol, 2002).”
ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION: TRADE-OFFS IN SUBSTANCE AND METHODS (2005, unknown): “Yohe and Tol , 2002 ) .”
Global estimates of the impact of a collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet: an application of FUND (2005, result): “This is consistent with the results of Yohe and Tol (2002) and Tol and Yohe (2006).”
Distributional aspects of climate change impacts (2004, background): “12 However, Smit et al. (2001) postulate that adaptive capacity depends on a range of factors besides economics, a conjecture that is operationalised and measured by Yohe and Tol (2002).”
A Review of the Stern Review (2006, background): “Secondly, the model assumes that vulnerability to climate change is independent of development, but it is widely known that adaptive capacity, and thus net sensitivity and perhaps exposure to climate change, is very site specific and path dependent; see, for example, Yohe and Tol (2002).”
Adaptation and development: Livelihoods and climate change in Subarnabad, Bangladesh (2009, background): “Adaptive capacity refers to the potential or ability of a community to cope with, adapt to, or recover from the effects of an exposure (Yohe and Tol, 2002; Adger, 2003; Smit and Pilifosova, 2003).”
