Governments, businesses, and civil society organizations have diverse policy tools to incentivize adaptation. Policy can shape the type extent of adaptation, therefore, function either as barriers or enablers for reducing risk vulnerability. Using data from a systematic review academic literature on global adaptation responses climate change (n = 1549 peer-reviewed articles), we categorize types used We apply qualitative quantitative analyses assess contexts where particular are used, along with equity implications groups targeted by tools, tools’ relationships transformational indicators such depth, scope, speed find documented across sectors geographic regions. also identify mismatch between that consider those yield more adaptations.

Coping with climate change: The role of spatial decision support tools in facilitating community adaptation
Climate change challenges communities to visualize spatial patterns of risk, assess their vulnerability to those risks, and prepare adaptation plans to lower vulnerability. This paper outlines the design and implementation of a prototype web-based spatial decision support system (SDSS), referred to as the Community Adaptation Viewer (CAV), to assist adaptation planning.
