Based on the mutual compensation of offshore wind energy and wave energy, a hybrid wind–wave power generation system can provide a highly cost-effective solution to the increasing demands for offshore power. To provide comprehensive guidance for future research, this study reviews the energy conversion and coupling technologies of existing hybrid Wind–wave power generation systems which have not been reported in previous publications. The working principles of various wind and wave energy conversion technologies are summarised in detail. In addition, existing energy coupling technologies are specifically classified and described. All aforementioned technologies are comprehensively compared and discussed. Technological gaps are highlighted, and future development forecasts are proposed. It is found that the integration of hydraulic wind turbines and oscillating wave energy converters is the most promising choice for hybrid wind–wave power extraction. DC and hydraulic coupling are expected to become mainstream energy coupling schemes in the future. Currently, the main technological gaps include short their operating life, low energy production, limited economic viability, and the scarcity of theoretical research and experimental tests. The field offers significant opportunities for expansion and innovation.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change highlights the urgent need to operationalise Climate Resilient Development Pathways (CRDP), adopting mitigation and adaptation measures to secure a safe climate, meet human needs under a changing climate and enable sustainable development. Analyses have not yet compared different vulnerable geographies to understand similarities and differences in the constraints and opportunities in operationalising CRDP. Using conventional narrative literature review, this paper assesses CRDP across some of the world’s most vulnerable geographies: highlands (mountains), drylands and islands. It asks: (1) how are climate impacts experienced across highlands, drylands and islands and (2) what types of adaptation and mitigation are being employed across these vulnerable geographies? Key steps are discussed in moving towards CRDP via multiple enabling conditions. Findings show shared impacts across geographies include impacts on ecosystems, fisheries, agriculture and water systems, livelihood failure, food insecurity, and degradation of human health, inequality, losses to economic sectors, human migration and conflict, and cascading transboundary impacts. Adaptation and mitigation actions tend to focus on promoting nature-based approaches, livelihood diversification and economic development, harnessing mixed knowledges and policy and institutional measures. Actions with potential to accelerate transitions towards CRDP should focus on the specific arenas of engagement shaping the underlying vulnerability context of each geography, including the socio-cultural context, politics, governance and institutions, the economic and financial systems, knowledge availability, and technological capabilities.
