In this article, the authors analyse les relations conceptuelles (imprecises) de la vulnerabilite, de la resilience and de la capacite d'adaptation aux changements climatiques selon le systeme socioecologique (socio-ecologigal systems -SES) afin de comprendre and anticiper le comportement des composantes sociales et ecologiques du systeme.Abstract:
Cet article analyse les relations conceptuelles (imprecises) de la vulnerabilite, de la resilience et de la capacite d’adaptation aux changements climatiques selon le systeme socio-ecologique (socio-ecologigal systems – SES) afin de comprendre et anticiper le comportement des composantes sociales et ecologiques du systeme. Une serie de questions est proposee par l’auteur sur la specification de ces termes afin de developper une structure conceptuelle qui inclut les dimensions naturelles et so...read more

A place-based model for understanding community resilience to natural disasters
Susan L. Cutter,Lindsey Barnes,Melissa Berry,Christopher G. Burton,Elijah Evans,Eric Tate,Jennifer J. Webb +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model is proposed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level, and a candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation.

Are there social limits to adaptation to climate change
W. Neil Adger,Suraje Dessai,Marisa Goulden,Mike Hulme,Irene Lorenzoni,Donald R. Nelson,Lars Otto Naess,Johanna Wolf,Anita Wreford +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review insights from history, sociology and psychology of risk, economics and political science to develop four propositions concerning limits to adaptation and conclude that these issues of values and ethics, risk, knowledge, attitudes to risk and culture construct societal limits, but that these limits are mutable.

Landscape sustainability science: ecosystem services and human well-being in changing landscapes
Jianguo Wu,Jianguo Wu,Jianguo Wu +2 more
TL;DR: Landscape sustainability is defined as the capacity of a landscape to consistently provide long-term, landscape-specific ecosystem services essential for maintaining and improving human well-being as discussed by the authors, which is a place-based, use-inspired science of understanding and improving the dynamic relationship between ecosystem services and human wellbeing in changing landscapes under uncertainties arising from internal feedbacks and external disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resilience: the concept, a literature review and future directions
TL;DR: A review of resilience literature in its widest context and later its application at an organisational level context is provided in this article, where the origins of the concept are reported and consequently, the various fields of research are analysed.

The Adaptive Capacity Wheel: A method to assess the inherent characteristics of institutions to enable the adaptive capacity of society
Joyeeta Gupta,Catrien J.A.M. Termeer,J.E.M. Klostermann,Sander Meijerink,Margo van den Brink,P. Jong,Sibout Nooteboom,Emmy Bergsma,Emmy Bergsma +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present six dimensions: Variety, learning capacity, room for autonomous change, leadership, availability of resources and fair governance to assess if institutions stimulate the adaptive capacity of society to respond to climate change from local through to national level.

A framework for urban climate resilience
Stephen Tyler,Marcus Moench +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework for urban climate resilience and vulnerability that integrates theoretical and empirical knowledge of the factors contributing to resilience with processes for translating those concepts into practice, including characteristics of urban systems, the agents that depend on and manage those systems, institutions that link systems and agents, and patterns of exposure to climate change.
