An adaptation pathways approach to water management and governance of tourist islands: the example of the Southern Aegean Region in Greece

Advancing climate resilient development pathways since the IPCC’s fifth assessment report

“…Here the pathways construct permits embedding climate action within the overall challenge of social-ecological development (e.g. Skrimizea and Parra, 2020). Methodologically, we observe a cautious shift from approaches of either retrospective analysis OR future planning towards approaches that recognise path-dependency and that connect past decision pathways to future development pathways (e.g.…”

“…Conceptualizing climate action using the pathways metaphor, rather than as one specific action, permits embedding the challenge of adressing climate challenge within the overall challenge of social-ecological development (e.g. Skrimizea and Parra, 2020). Burch et al (2014) elaborate on a conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of community-level development pathways that both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance community resilience.…”

Decisions, options, and actions in the face of uncertainty: a systematic bibliometric and thematic review of climate adaptation pathways

“…Mixed evidence was found among red and green clusters report on the biophysical impacts of climate change and adaptative capacity, and the effects of natural risks on planning strategies, as well as the need for improving anticipatory governance and adaptation strategies (Lawrence et al 2018). Building capability and capacity for anticipatory adaptation in relation to water management and governance can inform decision-making processes (Skrimizea and Parra 2020), the focus of the blue cluster. The blue cluster includes 'stakeholder engagement' , 'government' , and 'effective response' , indicating the importance of planning and policies in minimising vulnerabilities and improving response and adaptation capacities.…”

Proposing DAPP-MR as a disaster risk management pathways framework for complex, dynamic multi-risk

“…DAPP has been applied in a wide field of single-hazard considerations using a variety of qualitative and quantitative stakeholder-driven co-production processes: river flood management ( Buurman and Babovic, 2016 ; Haasnoot et al., 2013 ; Ranger et al., 2013 ; Jordhus-Lier et al., 2019 ), drought management ( Haasnoot et al., 2014 ; Vizinho et al., 2021 ; Totin et al., 2021 ; Burnham and Ma, 2018 ), coastal planning ( Haasnoot et al., 2019 ; Kwakkel et al., 2016 ; Baldwin, 2021 ; Abel et al., 2016 ; Lawrence et al., 2018 ; Ramm et al., 2018a , 2018b ; Barnett et al., 2014 ; Buijs et al., 2018 ; Kuipers, 2017 ; Townend et al., 2021 ) and other applications ( Costa et al., 2021 ; Jacobs et al., 2019 ; Skrimizea and Parra, 2020 ; Jafino et al., 2021 ; Katz, 2020 ). In its applications, the limitations of the framework have been widely discussed: current applications of the framework simplify complex problems and thus neglect relevant dynamic interrelations ( Bosomworth et al., 2017 ; Jafino et al., 2019 ) and contested objectives ( Kwakkel et al., 2016 ; Head, 2019 ; Abel et al., 2016 ) within multi-risk contexts, or may face challenges in reporting their findings in a transparent and comprehensive way ( Shavazipour et al., 2021 ).…”
