“…According to (31), Adaptation capacity is a resource that is constantly moving, namely robustness, redundancy, and rapidity. Adaptive capacity is divided into three dimensions: awareness; ability; and actions (32). Figure 2 shows the indicators for each measurement, namely knowledge and experience, social learning for awareness, individual competence, and access to resources to determine the dimension of ability and adaptations made for the extent of action.…”

Landslides are disasters that often hit several areas in Banjarnegara Regency. The worst landslide incident which claimed many victims occurred on December 12, 2014, in Jemblung Hamlet, Sampang Village, Karangkobar District, which resulted in the settlement of one hamlet being buried. The high risk of landslides in the Karangkobar District necessitates adequate preparedness and capacity. The focus of the research was to determine (1) the level of student preparedness for landslides in Karangkobar District, (2) the level of student adaptive capacity for landslides in Karangkobar District, and (3) the relationship between preparedness and student adaptive capacity. The researchers used a quantitative descriptive method and collected data using questionnaires, observations, and secondary data on disaster events from the Central Regional Management Agency (BPBD) of Banjarnegara Regency. Four junior high schools in the Karangkobar District were studied. The findings showed that preparedness was homogeneous across the four schools. The level of preparedness was moderate, with an index of 71% - 75%. MTs Muhammadiyah Karangkobar was in the high category for adaptive capacity with 80.54%, and other schools were classified as medium. Preparedness correlated with adaptive capacity, with a significance value of 0.035 (<0.05). Keywords: disaster, preparedness, adaptive capacity, landslide

“…cluster 2), but due to their deriving from place and cultural specificity (Taub et al 2016;Tschakert et al 2019;McNamara et al 2018;Thomas and Benjamin 2018b;Barnett et al 2016). Such L&D is recognized as differential because of context-specific physical characteristics like geography, as well as culture, age and gender of the impacted population, as demonstrated in case studies in the Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Hindu Kush Himalaya, and Gambia (Chandra et al 2017;Rabbani et al 2013;van der Geest and Schindler 2016;Eugenio et al 2016;Yaffa 2013;Mukherji et al 2019). Some of this literature discusses more concretely why and how these impacts matter to people and thus constitute L&D. There are two main lines of argument.…”

Loss and damage from climate change and implicit assumptions of sustainable development

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Loss and damage from climate change, recognized as a unique research and policy domain through the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) in 2013, has drawn increasing attention among climate scientists and policy makers. Labelled by some as the “third pillar” of the international climate regime—along with mitigation and adaptation—it has been suggested that loss and damage has the potential to catalyze important synergies with other international agendas, particularly sustainable development. However, the specific approaches to sustainable development that inform loss and damage research and how these approaches influence research outcomes and policy recommendations remain largely unexplored. We offer a systematic analysis of the assumptions of sustainable development that underpins loss and damage scholarship through a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed research on loss and damage. We demonstrate that the use of specific metrics, decision criteria, and policy prescriptions by loss and damage researchers and practitioners implies an unwitting adherence to different underlying theories of sustainable development, which in turn impact how loss and damage is conceptualized and applied. In addition to research and policy implications, our review suggests that assumptions about the aims of sustainable development determine how loss and damage is conceptualized, measured, and governed, and the human development approach currently represents the most advanced perspective on sustainable development and thus loss and damage. This review supports sustainable development as a coherent, comprehensive, and integrative framework for guiding further conceptual and empirical development of loss and damage scholarship.

Climate change researchers argue that a residual domain exists beyond the limits of adaptation to prevent deleterious climate change impacts: this has been labeled as "loss and damage." Over the last 8 years, there has been significant growth in loss and damage scholarship thus making it imperative to take stock of what we know already and directions for future research. We undertook a quantitative review of academic publications (n = 122) in the loss and damage field to date and documented study characteristics, thematic areas, trends, gaps, and opportunities. The first publication appeared in 2010 before a significant increase in published research after 2013. Although increasingly diverse over time, loss and damage studies have primarily focused on technical, political, and normative questions. Our analysis suggests the following: that researchers predominately conceptualize loss and damage as "limits to adaptation"; that the literature is more practical (i.e., descriptive, does not challenge underlying presuppositions) than critical (i.e., challenges underlying presuppositions) in orientation; that loss and damage is conceived as both an occurring and future condition; and that economic dimensions of loss and damage are prioritized in studies. Recommended future research directions include empirical and theoretical explorations of the potential for transformational change; understanding what people value and how they can engage with loss and grief; ensuring the perspectives of the most vulnerable groups are included in decision-making; and greater policy-relevant research and critical analyses of loss and damage conceptualizations and the Warsaw International Mechanism.
