Communities and change in the anthropocene: understanding social-ecological vulnerability and planning adaptations to multiple interacting exposures

摘要: The majority of vulnerability and adaptation scholarship, policies programs focus exclusively on climate change or global environmental change. Yet, individuals, communities sectors experience a broad array multi-scalar multi-temporal, social, political, economic changes to which they are vulnerable must adapt. While extensive theoretical—and increasingly empirical—work suggests the need explore multiple exposures, clear conceptual framework would facilitate analysis interacting socioeconomic biophysical is lacking. This review synthesis paper aims fill this gap through presenting for integrating exposures into planning. To support applications assessments comparative analyses community vulnerability, we develop comprehensive typology drivers experienced by coastal communities. Our results reveal essential elements pragmatic approach local-scale planning appropriate adaptations within context exposures. We also identify methodologies characterizing impacts, exploring interactions identifying prioritizing responses. focuses communities; however, believe framework, will be useful understanding in various social-ecological contexts.
