| 英文摘要 | Preconceived ideas on adaptation to climate change are numerous (e.g. “the poor are the most vulnerable to climate change because they lack adaptive capacities” and “adaptation is foremost a local scale issue”) and have consequences on scientific research, the implementation of adaptation and international negotiations. Their persistence is essentially due to a relative lack of comprehensive knowledge on adaptation, including on influential factors, underlying processes (political, social, economic...), the role of environmental conditions, relevant spatial and temporal scales, levers and barriers. In order to promote a holistic, systemic and contextualised understanding of adaptation and vulnerability to climate change, CapAdapt project will focus its research on adaptive capacity with the ambition of elaborating new scientific bases for the development of integrated analyses. The project will be based upon fieldwork in 2 low-lying coastal areas (Bangladesh and Kiribati) that are characterised by strong differences in terms of geography, relationships to the environment, cultural values, etc. Their comparison will contribute to highlighting the various drivers of adaptive capacity: spatial configuration, ecosystems’ sensitivity, societal cohesion, economic diversification, political and institutional structure, living conditions. Therefore, the scientific objective of CapAdapt is to provide a comprehensive assessment framework of the determinants of adaptive capacity, at the crossroads of local and national scales, and of their relative weight in various contexts. An operational objective of the project is to show how a better understanding of adaptive capacity (driving factors and processes) may inform crucial current issues on adaptation to climate change: (i) its implementation, i.e. how can adaptation processes and strategies be implemented in a more efficient way? On which levers should they be based upon and which barriers might they encounter? (ii) the improvement of the international adaptation funds’ disbursement criteria, by providing donors with criteria that are non exclusively economic-related and thus by favouring the support of a diversity of policies and projects; and (iii) future environmental migrations, i.e. by enhancing the understanding of climate-related determinants of migration and of the means to design appropriate national and international policies. Ultimately, CapAdapt aims at raising decision-makers’ and other stakeholders’ awareness on the need for adopting a comprehensive understanding of adaptive capacity when elaborating projects and policies that have an influence on vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. At the same time, CapAdapt intends to favour a better understanding of climate change adaptation challenges by the general public, which is fundamental for reducing vulnerability and guaranteeing the feasibility of adaptation strategies. |
