the main purpose of this research was to study the variables and factors that affect adaptation of university to external environment and to develop a model for assessment of tehran public universities adaptation to external environment. a mixed method research approach involving a three-round delphi study was used to record responses to the closed-questions and open-ended-questions. other data...

Research on developing well designed evaluation tools will provide the information and understanding necessary for identifying more effective adaptation options and better management plans for ensuring regional sustainability. This paper presents an integrated approach that integrates ecosystem vulnerability identification, adaptation option evaluation, and multi-stakeholder participation. The ...

The term ‘adaptation’ is commonplace in conservation research and practice, but often without a reflection on the assumptions, expectations, or frames of reference used to define goals actions. Communities practice (e.g. researchers, protected areas managers) have different interpretations climate change impacts biodiversity ways defining, operationalizing implementing adaptation. Their cogniti...

introduction chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is cultivated on alarge scale in arid and semiarid environments. terminal drought and heat stress, among other abiotic and biotic stresses, are the major constraints of yield in most regions of chickpea production. the study of the effects of climate change could help to develop adaptation strategies to promote and stabilize crop yield. this research w...

Abstract Migration is often considered a form of climate change adaptation by which individuals, households, and communities seek to reduce the risks associated with change. In this study, we examine first-time seasonal migration out village in North-Western Burkina Faso neighbouring countries, triggered more irregular rainfall patterns. Through set 52 qualitative interviews, analyse perception...

Lack of public support for coastal adaptation can present significant barriers implementation. In response, policy makers and academics are seeking strategies to build adaptation, which requires a deeper understanding peoples’ preferences what motives those preferences. Here, we conduct systematic literature review understand options the factors influencing these Ninety peer-reviewed publicatio...

Exploring adaptation pathways is an emerging approach for supporting decision making under uncertain changing conditions. An adaptation pathway is a sequence of policy actions to reach specified objectives. To develop adaptation pathways, interactions between environment and policy response need to be analysed over time for an ensemble of plausible futures. A fast, integrated model can facilita...

Climate change will have far-reaching implications for Inuit health. Focusing on adaptation offers a proactive approach for managing climate-related health risks-one that views Inuit populations as active agents in planning and responding at household, community, and regional levels. Adaptation can direct attention to the root causes of climate vulnerability and emphasize the importance of trad...
