In the last few decades, a great deal has been written on the use of sustainable agriculture to improve the resilience of ecosystem services to climate change. However, no tangible and systematic evidence exists on how this agriculture would participate in alleviating impacts on vulnerable rural communities. This paper provides a narrative systematic review (SR) integrated with a bibliometric analysis and a concept network analysis to determine how, in this changing climate, sustainable agriculture can increase the resilience of agrosystems. Our search ranged from the date of the first relevant article until the end of 2018. The results generated demonstrated the following: (a) Only single practices and methods have been studied to assess the impacts on single ecosystem services; (b) Soil quality and health are considered a key indicator of sustainable agriculture; (c) Although the assessed practices and methods were shown to improve the biodiversity of agrosystems, which makes them more resilient to extreme climate events, we are still far from developing interdisciplinary and multidimensional agriculture that integrates all management aspects and generates a full range of ecosystem services. In conclusion, this study addressed the following recommendations for the scientific community and policymakers to orient future research strategies and efforts: (a) The integration of all agrosystem services into sustainable management using an ecosystem-based approach on a life-cycle basis using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method; (b) Improving the scientific understanding of traditional knowledge to facilitate greater synergy and further integration; (c) The unification of assessment methods and indicators for the quantification of impacts; (d) The creation of a platform to share, monitor, screen, and approve assessments and evaluations of sustainable agriculture by region.

In the last few decades, a lot has been written on the use of sustainable agriculture to improve ecosystem services for resilience to climate change. However, no tangible and systematic evidence exists on how this would participate in alleviating impacts on vulnerable rural communities. This paper provides a narrative systematic review (SR) integrated with a bibliometric analysis and a concept network analysis to understand how, in a changing climate, sustainable agriculture builds the resilience of agro-systems. The search was set from the date of the first relevant article until the end of 2018. Results generated have demonstrated that: a. Only single practices and methods have been studied to assess impacts on single ecosystem services. b. Soil quality and health are considered a key indicator of sustainable agriculture. c. Albeit the assessed practices and methods have shown to improve the biodiversity of agro-systems, which makes them more resilient to extreme climate events, we are still far from reaching interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional agriculture which integrates all management aspects and generates a full range of ecosystem services. In conclusion, the study addressed the following recommendations for the scientific community and for decision-makers to orient future research strategies and efforts: a. Integration of all agro-systems services into sustainable management using an ecosystem-based approach on a life-cycle basis using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method; b. Improving the scientific understanding of traditional knowledge for higher synergies and for further integration; c. Unification of assessment methods and indicators for the quantification of impacts; d. Creation of a platform to share, monitor, screen, and approve assessments and evaluations of sustainable agriculture by region.

“…In recent years, the focus of scholarship in this field has moved beyond the assessment of impacts and implications of climate change on tourism, to the extent to which destination and stakeholder response enhances resilience to existing and projected impacts of climate change (Becken, 2013b;Kaján & Saarinen, 2013;Zeppel & Beaumont, 2011). Despite this, scholars note that a research gap still exists in terms of exploring the adaptive capacity of tourism actors to climate change, as well as the underlying factors that determine vulnerability and adaptive capacity (Nacipucha, Ruhanen, & Cooper, 2017;Scott & Becken, 2010). In particular, it has been noted that there is a lack of focus on destination communities, especially those in developing countries (Hall, 2012b;Kaján & Saarinen, 2013;Scott, Hall, & Gössling, 2016b).…”

“…Therefore, the suitability of the tourism sector in general and destinations in particular must be perceived as a transition and a learning process, and as a moving rather than a static goal (Farrell & Twining-Ward, 2005). It is suggested that learning at both organisational and destination levels is essential to promote sustainability in the tourism industry (Bandari, Cooper, & Ruhanen, 2014;Farrell & Twining-Ward, 2005;Nacipucha et al, 2017;Schianetz, Kavanagh, & Lockington, 2007). In the context of climate change, learning has generally been under-researched within tourism.…”

“…Research generally suggests that business and destination level adaptation responses from the tourism sector to climate change have been reactive and at a low level (Nacipucha et al, 2017;Tervo-Kankare, 2011). Among the barriers affecting the willingness of businesses to act on climate change, the lack of awareness of climate change, coupled with perceptions of the uncertainty and the magnitude of the impacts of climate change, in addition to short-term planning practices, affects the dynamics of businesses to respond to climate change (Bicknell & McManus, 2006;Saarinen & Tervo, 2006).…”

The influence of learning on a tourism destination community’s responses to the impacts of climate change

Climate change presents significant challenges for the sustainability of the tourism sector. Tourism destinations in developing countries have been identified as the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change; however, little is known about the situation of climate change and the tourism sector in the developing world, despite the relative importance of tourism to the local economies. Building adaptive capacity is important to increase the capability of the local destination community stakeholders to manage the impacts of climate change on their business and on the broader destination. Considerable adaptation research has been conducted; however, adaptation discourses in the tourism sector are still predominantly focused on responding to the predicted impacts of future climate change rather than addressing the underlying factors that affect the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of tourism destinations and local community stakeholders. Recent research in social ecological systems has indicated that learning is an essential aspect of building adaptive capacity. In this context, social learning is emerging as an adaptation approach that addresses issues hindering adaptation, such as a lack of knowledge and awareness, and encourages a proactive response by human systems to climate change. Underpinned by the theories of climate change adaptation and social learning, this research seeks to understand the influence of learning on a destination community's responses to the impacts of climate change. The aim of this research was supported by four interrelated research objectives: 1) to examine community knowledge of climate change, 2) to identify the sources of information utilised by the community to construct climate change knowledge and the spaces used for knowledge sharing and learning, 3) to assess how local destination community stakeholders have applied their existing knowledge to adapt to climate change, and 4) to identify and assess the factors influencing the capacity of local destination stakeholders to learn to adapt to climate change. This research employed a qualitative, constructivist methodology to investigate the research issue in the context of the city of Hoi An, a well-known tourism destination in Vietnam. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 54 participants who represented a broad range of local destination community stakeholders (i.e., local government authorities, tourism businesses, residents, community-based organisations) and expert stakeholders who have knowledge about the scope of this research. The thesis reveals the following key findings. The overall conclusion is that the responses of Hoi An community stakeholders to the impacts of climate change are strongly determined by their perceptions of the importance of climate change to their businesses and to the broader destination; their ability to v Publications during candidature Conference abstracts and papers Pham, T.
