요약 | Climate change, due to global warming caused by humans, has become an increasingly critical issue over the past few decades. Society's deeper understanding of, experiences with, and communication about climate change have motivated action toward the mitigation of global warming and adaptation to its associated impacts. An underlying message from the scientific community is that society needs to act now and with good judgement (IPCC 2018). This message prompts further questions, including: How do people know which actions to take? What activities will have the most impact? What approaches to adaptation and mitigation are most equitable? What roles should science and scientists play in responding to the threats of global warming? Evaluation, a necessary but often missing component of climate action, can help answer these questions through systematic assessment of the outcomes and impacts of mitigation, adaptation, and associated research practices. In my dissertation, I investigate adaptation responses to climate change occurring globally, by analyzing adaptation initiatives that have shown some degree of effectiveness around the world |
