“…The term 'differential livelihood adaptation', as used in this study, closely relates to the concepts of 'divergent adaptation' (Snorek et al 2014), 'response space' (Osbahr et al 2010) and 'adaptation pathway' (Wise et al 2014;Haasnoot et al 2013)-all of which conceptualise adaptation as a localised, complex and dynamic process, framed by the social, political and institutional dynamics as well as power, knowledge and values/interests across multiple scales. Households operate within a shared response space, characterised by adaptive and maladaptive spaces-the boundaries between which are changing over time, due to changes in bio-physical, socioeconomic and institutional context.…”

“…Households, thus, exhibit divergent adaptation, whereby successful adaptation by one wealth class led to reduced adaptive capacity of another wealth class within a shared social-ecological system (cf. Snorek et al 2014).…”

“…Divergent adaptation (Snorek et al, 2014) describes how adaptation to climate change within a social-ecological system (SES) produces the potential for greater inequities, conflicts, and/or cooperation resulting from adaptation decisions. The term divergent adaptation is defined as 'those adaptations that promote the adaptive capacity of one individual/community in a shared ecosystem which leads to a reduced adaptive capacity of an alternative individual/community in the same ecosystem,' and through this process, one can identify which users win or lose in adaptation, enhance adaptive capacity for marginalized groups, and promote equal adaptive capacity in the adaptation process (Snorek et al, 2014: 372).…”

“…Divergent adaptation is related to unsustainable and unequal forms of development and adaptation (Smith, 1990;Eriksen et al, 2011) and policies that have promoted land use conversion and/or sales that, in turn, dispossess small holders, reducing their adaptive capacity (Mardsen, 1995;Adger et al, 2006;Peluso and Lund, 2011;Cotula, 2012). The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s AR5 chapter on human security (Adger et al, 2014), as well as other literature highlights how adaptations can enhance inequalities, impact resilience and disrupt overall human security of an SES (Raleigh, 2010;Eriksen et al, 2011;Kloos et al, 2013;Snorek et al, 2014).…”
