This article provides a stocktake of the adaptation literature between 2013 and 2019 to better understand how responses affect risk under particularly challenging conditions compound climate events. Across 39 countries, 45 response types hazards display anticipatory (9%), reactive (33%), maladaptive (41%) characteristics, as well hard (18%) soft (68%) limits adaptation. Low income, food insecurity, access institutional resources finance are most prominent 23 vulnerabilities observed negatively responses.

This chapter of the New York City Panel on Climate Change 4 (NPCC4) report provides a comprehensive description different types flood hazards (pluvial, fluvial, coastal, groundwater, and compound) facing climatological context that can be utilized, along with climate change projections, to support risk management (FRM). Previous NPCC reports documented coastal presented trends in historical future precipitation sea level but did not comprehensively assess all city's hazards. also discussed implications floods infrastructure residents review impacts flooding natural nature-based systems (NNBSs). This-the NPCC's first focused drivers flooding-describes profiles examples each type summarizes previous ongoing research regarding exposure, vulnerability, management, including NNBS nonstructural measures.

Vulnerable locations, such as coastlines, are at a high risk of loss and damage. Such places will suffer deleterious impacts climate change increasingly realized. As societies try to adapt these impacts, managed or planned retreat—aimed moving people assets away from vulnerable locations—is gaining increased attention. Despite this attention, systematic literature reviews the retreat remain scarce. This paper undertakes review uncovers marked increase in scholarly research papers past 5 years. An analysis 135 journal articles is completed. Findings include strong emphasis on regional local case studies exploring governance, policy institutional settings levers across range geographies. Property rights market interventions, compensation schemes, evidence prevalence neoliberal predilections. emphasizes importance renewed engagement with political economy scholarship vis-à-vis adaptation, also supported by sharp evidenced social environmental justice impacts. article part theme issue ‘Nurturing resilient marine ecosystems’.

The impacts of climate change, such as sea-level rise and extreme weather events, are expected to increase alter human migration mobility. Climate-related mobility is not inherently a crisis; it can provide pathway for adaptation change. However, growing body research identifies health risks some opportunities associated with climate-related This review examines recent (published since 2018) on the change-mobility-health nexus; this focuses largely in-country in Asia, Africa, Pacific Island countries.

Climate resettlement and livelihood transformation in Rwanda: the case of Rweru Model Green Village

Climate and Development, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 13

Опубликована: Фев. 13, 2024

This study investigates whether relocating rural communities from areas exposed to high climatic risks can be transformative and in what ways. Using the Rweru Model Green Village as a case drawing on regional political ecology sustainable livelihoods framework, shows that climate-related resettlement an act of transformation is mediated by development vision policies, multi-scalar dynamics, micro-politics. Our semi-structured interviews with households resettled village revealed double-edged nature transformation. Resettlement was shown increase access modern facilities social services for two remote island communities. However, new potentially severe livelihood constraints emerged due limited natural financial capital, intra-community inequities, microclimate variations between origin sites. These findings suggest form adaptation requires careful navigation interplay community expectations, government plans, shifts local, regional, global economy.

Sea level rise and increasing frequency intensity of coastal storms are driving the need for managed retreat relocation at risk populations. Managed through voluntary buyouts is typically studied either from perspective buyouts’ process or focused on those who leave, but little attention given to what left behind. How do impact staying behind, their senses justice ? We examine this question low-lying majority-minority neighborhood Edgemere, Queens in New York City where Superstorm Sandy a long history failed urban renewal have led large amounts vacant land. This study analyzes ongoing intersectional conditi ons residents’ flood vulnerability. It grounds analysis 18 in-depth interviews with local residents capturing perceptions land its reuse, needs. The complemented field observations, semi-structured city agencies involved resilience planning initiatives historical open space plans area. Findings reveal importance elevating understanding place inform possible uses after historically disinvested neighborhoods. Furthermore, they both injustices attachments living prone, disenfranchised They also show how these experiences entangle citywide housing crisis. In conclusion, if post-buyout efforts aspire be just, center past present contextual injustice shapes relationships between distributive recognitional injustice.
