What Actually Confers Adaptive Capacity? Insights from Agro-Climatic Vulnerability of Australian Wheat
Vulnerability assessments have often invoked sustainable livelihoods theory to support the quantification of adaptive capacity based on the availability of capital--social, human, physical, natural, and financial. However, the assumption that increased availability of these capitals confers greater adaptive capacity remains largely untested. We quantified the relationship between commonly used ...
متن کاملRole of Livelihood Capital in Reducing Climatic Vulnerability: Insights of Australian Wheat from 1990-2010.
In many agricultural countries, development of rural livelihood through increasing capital is a major regional policy to adapt to climate change. However, the role of livelihood capital in reducing climatic vulnerability is uncertain. This study assesses vulnerability and identifies the effects of common capital indicators on it, using Australian wheat as an example. We calculate exposure (a cl...
متن کاملNew indicators of vulnerability and adaptive capacity
NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY There is an increasing need to develop indicators of vulnerability and of adaptive capacity both to determine the robustness of response strategies over time and to understand better the underlying processes. The climate change policy process has increasingly focussed on the potential for adaptation. National level indicators of vulnerability or adaptive capacity directed ...
متن کاملIntegration and Typologies of Vulnerability to Climate Change: A Case Study from Australian Wheat Sheep Zones
Although the integrated indicator methods have become popular for assessing vulnerability to climate change, their proliferation has introduced a confusing array of scales and indicators that cause a science-policy gap. I argue for a clear adaptation pathway in an "integrative typology" of regional vulnerability that matches appropriate scales, optimal measurements and adaptive strategies in a ...
متن کاملFuzzy Modeling in the Agro-Climatic Domain
Fuzzy Modeling is an effective approach for System Identification. In its turn, Data Driven Fuzzy Modeling (DDFM) extracts these models from a set of input-output observations about the system. One way to carry out a DDFM process is by means of a combination of techniques, each one solving one of the DDFM phases. In this paper, we apply hybridizations of clustering algorithms and neural network...
