Forging Common Paths: A Systematic Review of Co‐Creation and Collaborative Learning in Adaptation Pathways
We examine how co‐creation and collaborative learning have been operationalized in climate adaptation pathway development over the past decade using a systematic review of 36 case study papers. While co‐creation and collaborative learning are increasingly recognized as important for effective adaptation planning, it remains unclear how different approaches can support adaptation goals. Our co‐creation analysis identifies three participation clust…
Contextualising seasonal forecasts to accelerate their uptake for agricultural decision-making
Exploring the use of adaptation tipping points: A systematic review of definitions, characteristics and applications
Adaptation Tipping Points (ATPs) are critical in adaptation pathway planning, marking thresholds where existing strategies fail, and requiring new approaches. Despite their importance, ATPs lack consistent definitions, leading to conceptual fragmentation. Following the lack of a systematic approach, existing research provides limited insights into how ATPs align with broader development trajectories, making their integration into adaptation strat…
Dialogue or Decision‐Making: Exploring the Role of Modelling in Adaptation Pathways Development and Its Links With Participation
Adaptation pathways are an emerging planning approach to manage the long‐term uncertainties related to climatic and environmental changes. Although models are widely used in pathways processes, their specific application and contribution throughout pathways development remain poorly understood. This study presents a scoping review that characterizes the role of modeling in pathways development and explores its link with participation. The finding…
Exploring the potential of agricultural system change as an integrated adaptation strategy for water and food security in the Indus basin
Water security and food security in the Indus basin are highly interlinked and subject to severe stresses. Irrigation water demands presently already exceed what the basin can sustainably provide, but per-capita food availability remains limited. Rapid population growth and climate change are projected to further intensify pressure on the interdependencies between water and food security. The agricultural system of the Indus basin must therefore …
From narratives to numbers: Spatial downscaling and quantification of future water, food & energy security requirements in the Indus basin
Integrated adaptation strategies are needed to achieve the highly interlinked Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for water, food- and energy security in the Indus basin. However, detailed quantitative scenarios for the plausible dimensions of future resource security requirements under socio-economic development are lacking. Here we define three quantitative and spatially downscaled scenarios for future water, food and energy requirements in th…
