Resilient Adaptation to Climate Change in African Agriculture (2010, background): “They contribute to "double exposure" (O'Brien / Leichenko 2000; O’Brien et al. 2004; Eakin 2005) and are part of the "dynamic pressures" (Wisner / Blaikie / Cannon 2004), and "vulnerability context" (Chambers 1989; Watts / Bohle 1993; DFID 2000) that smallholders face.”
Linking development to climate adaptation: Leveraging generic and specific capacities to reduce vulnerability to drought in NE Brazil (2016, background): “Without a degree of stability and security in, for example, natural or financial capital, an asset-poor household may view the potential losses associated with a failed adaptation as greater than the more familiar loss associated with not adapting (Eakin, 2006, 2005).”
Rural livelihood diversification and household well-being: Insights from Humla, Nepal (2016, background): “In addition to various idiosyncratic risks, the subsistence farmers confront various structural and transitory environmental and institutional stresses and shocks that frequently make them vulnerable to falling below subsistence thresholds (Eakin, 2005; Morton, 2007; Tschakert, 2007; Harvey et al., ”
Impacts of climate variability and change on fishery-based livelihoods (2010, background): “primary means by which many individuals reduce risk and cope with future uncertainty [50,116,117].”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “Understanding how development variables intersect with climate responses is especially important because governments and other actors rarely make decisions in isolation; rather, they respond to multiple stressors both in rural and urban environments (Eakin, 2005; Agrawal, 2010; Wilbanks and Kates, 2”
Erratic rains and erratic markets: Environmental change, economic globalisation and the expansion of shallow groundwater irrigation in West Africa (2008, unknown): “As has been shown, this kind of ‘double exposure’ to environmental change and economic globalisation severely limits the adaptive capacity of small-scale farmers and agricultural wage labourers in countries such as Mexico and India (Eakin, 2005; O’Brien et al., 2004; O'Brien & Leichenko, 2000).”
Intersections of Gender and Marital Status in Accessing Climate Change Adaptation: Evidence from Rural Tanzania (2016, background): “strategies that respond not only to climate change but also to the other environmental, social and economic drivers that the changing climate exacerbates and reinforces (Eakin, 2005).”
Climate Change, Agriculture And Poverty (2010, background): “(Eakin 2005, 1934) Policy choices which can improve livelihoods today – such as improving insurance markets, investing in relevant climate forecasting capabilities, establishing water management institutions, and facilitating migration - also have the potential to aid farmers in adapting to climate…”
Smallholder adaptation to climate change: dynamics and limits in Northern Ghana (2012, background): “As has been shown for India and Pakistan, farmer-driven, small-scale irrigation has the potential to reduce poverty and trigger larger development dynamics (Hussain and Ahanjra 2004).”
Factors Affecting Farmers' Adaptation Strategies to Environmental Degradation and Climate Change Effects: A Farm Level Study in Bangladesh (2014, background): “Practicing soil and water conservation techniques [12], fertilizer use, irrigation [9,13] and diversification to non-farm activities [7,14] are also adaptation strategies that have been practiced at farm level in response to climate change.”
Climate adaptation, local institutions, and rural livelihoods: A comparative study of herder communities in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China (2013, background): “014 Vulnerability, social adaptation, and adaptive capacity are interrelated concepts used in the analysis of the potential effects of climate and other stressors on local communities and their potential responses to them (Adger, 2006; Eakin, 2005; Smit and Wandel, 2006; Turner et al., 2003).”
