Vulnerability and its discontents: the past, present, and future of climate change vulnerability research

Climatic Change, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 151(2), P. 189 - 203

Published: Oct. 25, 2018

The concept of vulnerability is well established in the climate change literature, underpinning significant research effort. ability to capture complexities climate-society dynamics has been increasingly questioned, however. In this paper, we identify, characterize, and evaluate concerns over use approaches field based on a review peer-reviewed articles published since 1990 (n = 587). Seven are identified: neglect social drivers, promotion static understanding human-environment interactions, vagueness about vulnerability, cross-scale passive negative framing, limited influence decision-making, collaboration across disciplines. Examining each concern against trends find some these weakly justified, but others pose valid challenges research. Efforts revitalize needed, with priority areas including developing next generation empirical studies, catalyzing disciplines leverage build strengths divergent intellectual traditions involved research, linking practical realities decision-making.

CASEarth Poles: Big Data for the Three Poles

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 101(9), P. E1475 - E1491

Published: April 6, 2020

Abstract Unprecedented changes in the climate and environment have been observed three poles, including North Pole, South Third Pole–Tibetan Plateau. Although considerable data collected several observation networks built these polar regions, poles are relatively data-scarce regions due to inaccessible acquisition, high-cost labor, difficult living environments. To address obstacles better understanding unprecedented their effects on global humans, there is a pressing need for curation, integration, service, application support fundamental scientific research sustainable development poles. CASEarth Poles, project within framework of “CAS Big Earth Data Science Engineering” program Chinese Academy Sciences, aims construct big platform Poles will be devoted 1) breaking bottleneck sharing; 2) developing high-resolution remote sensing products over poles; 3) generating atmospheric reanalysis datasets regions; 4) exploring synchronization, asynchronization, teleconnection environmental 5) investigating climate, water cycle, ecosystem dynamics interactions among multispheres effects; 6) supporting decision-making with regard sea ice forecasting, infrastructure, regions. collaborate international efforts enable information services era.

Community‐based adaptation research in the Canadian Arctic

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Climate Change, Journal Year: 2015, Volume and Issue: 7(2), P. 175 - 191

Published: Nov. 25, 2015

Community‐based adaptation ( CBA ) has emerged over the last decade as an approach to empowering communities plan for and cope with impacts of climate change. While such approaches have been widely advocated, few critically examined tensions challenges that brings. Responding this gap, article examines use Inuit in Canada. We suggest holds significant promise make research more democratic responsive local needs, providing a basis developing locally appropriate adaptations based on local/indigenous Western knowledge. Yet, we argue is not panacea, its common portrayal obscures limitations, nuances, challenges. Indeed, if uncritically adopted, can potentially lead maladaptation, may be inappropriate some instances, legitimize outside intervention control, further marginalize communities. identify responsibilities researchers engaging work manage these challenges, emphasizing centrality how knowledge generated, need project flexibility openness change, importance ensuring partnerships between are transparent. Researchers also realistic about what achieve, should assume positive role play community just because it utilizes participatory approaches.

Climate change in context: putting people first in the Arctic

Regional Environmental Change, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 19(4), P. 1217 - 1223

Published: March 6, 2019

Climate change is a major challenge to Arctic and other Indigenous peoples, but not the only often most pressing one. We propose re-framing treatment of climate in policy research, make sure health, poverty, education, cultural vitality, equity, justice, topics highlighted by people themselves just science also get attention they deserve research on global regional environmental change. can exacerbate problems, singular focus change—as case much existing literature elsewhere—can distract from actions that be taken now improve lives peoples. The same logic applies elsewhere world, where diverse residents face host challenges, opportunities, obstacles, with one among many issues. Our proposed approach draws ideas decolonization, emphasizing collaborative approaches voices instead top-down measures designed outside affected communities. Only this way contextualizing human-environmental experiences full effects understood—and appropriate responses developed carried out adapt

The rapidly changing Arctic and its societal implications

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Climate Change, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12(6)

Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid climate change and projected to experience the most warming this century of any world region. We review societal aspects these current changes. Indigenous knowledge local holders living in communities across have detected unprecedented increases temperature, altered precipitation regimes, changing weather patterns, documenting impacts on terrestrial marine environments. These observations situate as one multiple interacting stressors. societies exhibited resilience change, but vulnerabilities are emerging at nexus environmental conditions socioeconomic pressures. Infrastructure highly susceptible permafrost thaw, coastal erosion, sea level rise, compounded by age infrastructure, maintenance challenges, cost adapting. Livelihoods cultural activities linked subsistence harvesting been affected changes wildlife, with coping mechanisms undermined long‐term processes land dispossession landscape fragmentation. Reduced ice coverage dynamics creating opportunities for enhanced shipping, oil gas production, deep‐water fisheries. Legal, infrastructural, economic, climatic challenges expected constrain such developments, concerns over distribution potential benefits.
