Studies of climate change at specific intervals of future warming have primarily been addressed through top-down approaches using climate projections and modelled impacts …
A leading challenge in measuring social vulnerability to hazards is for output metrics to better reflect the context in which vulnerability occurs. Through a meta-analysis of 67 flood …
Considerable barriers can emerge in developing and implementing climate change adaptation strategies. Understanding the nature of barriers to adaptation is important so as …
In December of 2015, the international community pledged to limit global warming to below 2° C above preindustrial (PI) to prevent dangerous climate change. However, to what extent …

This paper reviews the concept of adaptive capacity and various approaches to assessing it, particularly with respect to climate variability and change. I find that adaptive capacity is a …
We use a statistical metric of multi-dimensional climate change to quantify the emergence of global climate change hotspots in the CMIP5 climate model ensemble. Our hotspot metric …
Human systems will have to adapt to climate change. Understanding of the magnitude of the adaptation challenge at a global scale, however, is incomplete, constrained by a limited …
Climate change is the single most important global environmental and development issue facing the world today and has emerged as a major topic in tourism studies. Climate change …
