Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change
TL;DR: A forum to review, analyze and stimulate the development, testing and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies at regional, national and global scales as mentioned in this paper, which contributes to real-time policy analysis and development as national and international policies and agreements are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the nature of barriers to climate change adaptation
TL;DR: The most frequently reported barriers relate to the institutional and social dimensions of adaptation as mentioned in this paper, where barriers are identified as configurations of climate and non-climate factors and conditions that emerge from the actor, the governance system, or the system of concern.

TL;DR: In this article, two types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with nonclimatic factors, such as high exposure and/or vulnerability).

TL;DR: As the International Year of the Reef 2008 begins, scaled-up management intervention and decisive action on global emissions are required if the loss of coral-dominated ecosystems is to be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irreversible climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions
TL;DR: The climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop, showing that thermal expansion of the warming ocean provides a conservative lower limit to irreversible global average sea level rise.

A Domain-Specific Risk-Attitude Scale: Measuring Risk Perceptions and Risk Behaviors
TL;DR: This article presented a psychometric scale that assesses risk taking in various content domains: financial decisions, health/safety, recreational, ethical, and social decisions, and found that respondents' degree of risk taking was highly domain-specific, i.e. not consistently risk-averse or consistently riskseeking across all content domains.

Social-Ecological Resilience to Coastal Disasters
TL;DR: Social and ecological vulnerability to disasters and outcomes of any particular extreme event are influenced by buildup or erosion of resilience both before and after disasters occur.
