Mountain city preparedness for climate change: Sustainability-related initiatives in Appalachian region, USA
Small mountain towns, such as those in the Appalachian Region of the United States, face increased risks from flooding and soil erosion intensified by climate change. Despite these risks, there is limited knowledge about how these towns are preparing for climate change. This study conducted a mixed methods content analysis of the environmental planning documents of 100 small and mid-sized localities in the Appalachia region to answer two research…
Multi-level determinants of crop choice to water stress in smallholder irrigation system of Central Nepal
Change in crop choice is a common adaptation strategy for global change. However, its drivers are not well understood. We investigate the multilevel determinants of smallholders’ crop choice in irrigated agriculture of Central Nepal. We build upon previous studies and consider four levels of determinants: households, irrigation systems, local and regional market systems, and climatic conditions. Using primary survey data of 316 farmers from 9 far…
Institutional Strategies for Adaptation to Water Stress in Farmer-Managed Irrigation Systems of Nepal
Institutions governing common-pool resources have survived decades of global change with mixed performance. However, we have limited knowledge on how local institutions cope with and adapt to combined environmental and socio-economic changes. Using the case of 12 farmer-managed irrigation systems (FMIS) in Central and Western Nepal, this paper explores the institutional coping and adaptation mechanisms to water stress. We find that local irrigati…
Climate adaptation approaches and key policy characteristics: Cases from South Asia
This paper analyses and assesses how existing policies and approaches in South Asia consider long-term climate change adaptation. Presently, it is unclear what approaches are used in the existing policies to cope with the future climatic changes. Our research framework consists of two components. First, we identify and define key characteristics of adaptation policy approaches based on a review of scientific journal articles. The key characterist…
Bringing the Hydrosocial Cycle into Climate Change Adaptation Planning: Lessons from Two Andean Mountain Water Towers
Glaciers, snowpack, rivers, lakes, and wetlands in mountain regions provide freshwater for much of the world's population. These systems, however, are acutely sensitive to climate change. In Andean water towers, which supply freshwater to more than 100 million people, climate change adaptation planning is critical. Adaptation plans, however, are more than just documents; they inform and are informed by sociopolitical processes with major implicat…
Towards characterizing the adaptive capacity of farmer-managed irrigation systems: Learnings from Nepal
Small-scale irrigation systems managed by farmers are facing multiple challenges including competing water demand, climatic variability and change, and socioeconomic transformation. Though the relevant institutions for irrigation management have developed coping and adaptation mechanisms, the intensity and frequency of the changes have weakened their institutional adaptive capacity. Using case examples mostly from Nepal, this paper studies the in…
