“…In a study on climate, water, and agriculture in Africa, it was concluded that "the most effective strategies presented promote reduction of the present vulnerability, enhancing the broad spectrum of capacity in response to environmental, economic and resource perturbations" [38]. Systematic evaluations of priorities and constraints along with the involvement of stakeholders was suggested as necessary for process of planning of adaptation strategies [38].…”

“…An insight for communicating this knowledge involves tailoring messaging "to the personal experiences and decision-making needs of their target audience and involve trusted peers and information channels" [52]. Furthermore, it is important that the communications promote that change for climatic challenges is aimed at reducing vulnerability [38] and that it may mean a full return to traditional activities that were previously provided may not be possible [28]. This is because of the "changing conditions, [and] future changes are potentially of such magnitude or will occur at rates that are beyond the natural adaptive capacity" [28] (p. 146).…”

“…There was, thus, support for immediate action planning for climatic challenges. These plans include systematic evaluations to delineate priorities [38] and objectives [28], along with encouraging multiple perspectives that are needed to advance a full range of adaptation options and implementation practices [43,44]. It was noted that trade-offs are needed between the various objectives under different noted conditions [28].…”

“…Experimentations today can prepare sport to adapt and give rise to niche sports options for the eventuality of greater increasing competition for water resources. This type of adaptation is promoted in this research manuscript based on Kale's (2013) position that encouraged the "systematic evaluation of priorities" [38] in the water industry. An application of this position in sport entails that the continuation of sport, despite water resources' impacts on grass-based sports fields, is a priority.…”

Sporting societies around the world are being impacted by a variety of contemporary climatic challenges. The sport management literature indicates that these impacts have disrupted sport. Some adaptations have been implemented, but a comprehensive planning framework is absent from the literature. Learning from other industries, thus, was considered, and an examination of the literature from the water and forestry industries was conducted. The examination resulted in the discovery of six key themes offering insights or practical lessons to guide sport organizations in their efforts to organize for adapting to climatic impacts.

Climate change impacts such as rainfall variability, rise in ambient temperature, extreme dry spells and excessive wet periods cause low productivity and quality of tea. Ratnapura District in Sri Lanka, having the largest number of tea smallholders, is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and other negative impacts of climate change. This study was conducted to assess the status of climate change using long term meteorological data, to determine the perception of tea smallholders on short term changes in the climate and to assess the level of adaptation of climate-smart technologies by tea smallholders. Four Divisional Secretariat Divisions were selected for the study. Using multistage sampling, a hundred farmers were selected for the social survey. Meteorological data for 42 years was collected from the Department of Agriculture Sri Lanka. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the analysis. Results showed that there was a significant (p<.05) increasing trend in daily maximum temperature. A slightly increasing trend in consecutive wet days was also observed. The perception of the majority of smallholders about changes in daytime temperature, number of wet days and rainfall distribution was in line with actual changes. Further, the overall level of adaptation to climate-smart technologies was at a moderate level. Shade management practices were at a higher level while moisture conservation practices were at a lower level. It was pivotal to make people aware of the severity of the impacts of climate change on their livelihoods and introduce climate-smart technologies to manage the consequences of extreme weather events.
