“…Extreme climatic events have been shown to increase or decrease vulnerability (e.g., Adger et al, 2007, Fazey et al, 2011Travis & Huisenga, 2013). Frequent and severe climatic events may trigger positive changes in adaptive strategies, leading to increased resilience for future climatic events, for example, by planting hazard-resistant seeds or increasing livelihood diversification (Adger et al, 2007).…”

“…Extreme events may also lead to reduced vulnerability since household resources are depleted in the climatic event and recovery is more difficult Travis, 2010;Fazey et al, 2011;Travis & Huisenga, 2013). Adaptive strategies used for the extreme event also have the potential to foster maladaptation, especially when profound changes following a climatic hazard encourage a false sense of security or foster dependency on unreliable institutions and limited resources (Kates et al, 2010;Travis, 2010;Arnell et al, 1984).…”

“…Conceptual framework (primarily based on Westerhoff & Smit, 2009). Accordingly, short-term adaptive strategies can undermine long-term vulnerability (Fazey et al, 2011;Ford et al, 2013). For example, coastal settlements that are constructed as a result of flood protection mechanisms illustrate the "levee effect" in which infrastructural protection encourages maladaptive development (Travis, 2010;Kates et al, 2010).…”

“…Chapin et al (2004: 347) explain that fast variables often receive the greatest attention from institutions, decision-makers, and the public, even though "failure to manage the slow variables can lead to irreversible changes, such as the loss of a fishery or traditional ties to the land, with grave societal consequences". Exclusively addressing fast variables also has the potential to lead to maladaptive trajectories if the resulting adaptations are inflexible, limiting, and/or have negative long-term consequences (Fazey et al, 2011).…”

AcknowledgementsThe community members of Panaillo taught me so much that extends far beyond this research and have inspired me to work harder and to be better. I deeply appreciate their friendship, their faith, and their endless supply of paranta shui. The quality, scope and meaning of this research are a direct result of their hard work. I am extremely grateful to my supervisor, Dr. James Ford, for serving as an invaluable mentor to me for several years. He introduced me to the concepts and politics surrounding climate change adaptation and has inspired me to continue working in this field for many years to come. He taught me to think critically about my own work and the work of others and I admire his commitment to community engagement and to resolving these 'wicked' problems. Through his guidance and example, I have learned how to make meaningful impacts in climate change adaptation research and I truly appreciate the freedom he has given me in carrying out this research.

“…Resilience refers to the capacity of a system to absorb shocks and disturbances and to catalyze renewal, adaptation, transformation, and innovation (Béné et al 2013). Identifying and setting criteria for the underlying factors that confer resilience to a community are the first steps toward effectively aligning external sustainability-seeking processes, often associated with resourcing mechanisms, with locally relevant and locally embraced approaches to sustaining environmental health and community well-being in the face of environmental, social, and economic change (Fazey et al 2011;Folke et al 2003). …”

n AbstrAct: Measuring progress toward sustainability goals is a multifaceted task. International, regional, and national organizations and agencies seek to promote resilience and capacity for adaptation at local levels. However, their measurement systems may be poorly aligned with local contexts, cultures, and needs. Understanding how to build effective, culturally grounded measurement systems is a fundamental step toward supporting adaptive management and resilience in the face of environmental, social, and economic change. To identify patterns and inform future efforts, we review seven case studies and one framework regarding the development of culturally grounded indicator sets. Additionally, we explore ways to bridge locally relevant indicators and those of use at national and international levels. The process of identifying and setting criteria for appropriate indicators of resilience in social-ecological systems needs further documentation, discussion, and refinement, particularly regarding capturing feedbacks between biological and social-cultural elements of systems.n Keywords: biocultural indicators, indicator sets, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, resilience, sustainability, well-being Indigenous and other place-based, local communities increasingly face an assortment of externally codified development and sustainability goals, regional commitments, and national policies and actions that are designed, in part, to foster adaptation and resilience at the local level. Resilience refers to the capacity of a system to absorb shocks and disturbances and to catalyze renewal, adaptation, transformation, and innovation (Béné et al. 2013). Identifying and setting criteria for the underlying factors that confer resilience to a community are the first steps toward effectively aligning external sustainability-seeking processes, often associated with resourcing mechanisms, with locally relevant and locally embraced approaches to sustaining environmental health and community well-being in the face of environmental, social, and economic change (Fazey et al. 2011;Folke et al. 2003).

Database support for adaptation to climate change: An assessment of web-based portals across scales

The widely recognized increase in greenhouse gas emissions is necessitating adaptation to a changing climate, and policies are being developed and implemented worldwide, across sectors, and between government scales globally. The aim of this paper is to reflect on 1 of the major challenges: facilitating and sharing information on the next adaptation practices. Web portals (i.e., websites) for disseminating information are important tools in meeting this challenge, and therefore, we assessed the characteristics of select major portals across multiple scales. We found that there is a rather limited number of case studies available in the portals-between 900 and 1000 in total, with 95 that include cost information and 195 that include the participation of stakeholders globally.Portals are rarely cited by researchers, suggesting a suboptimal connection between the practical, policy-related, and scientific development of adaptation. The government portals often lack links on search results between US and EU websites, for example. With significant investments and policy development emerging in both the US and EU, there is great potential to share information via portals. Moreover, there is the possibility of better connecting the practical adaptation experience from bottom-up projects to the science of adaptation. This article is protected by copyright.
