“…However, the result from this research shows the reverse is taking place as the education level of the older people in rural area is low. We also found a positive association with the number of workers on the farm and the numbers of adaptation measures considered, see also Apata et al (2009) and Burnham & Ma (2017).…”

“…financial or physical capital) (Burnham & Ma, 2016) and subjective determinants (e.g. how individuals and communities perceive the process of adaptation and their self-efficacy) (Wolf et al, 2013) of adaptive capacity in future climate change adaptation programs and policies to facilitate adaptive actions (Burnham & Ma, 2017). Phuong et al (2017) show that, common components of adaptive capacity referred to in the adaptation literature in the context of climate change responsiveness and natural resource management are: human, social, financial, political, and institutional capital building.…”

“…In addition, Burnham & Ma (2017) who applied the MPPACC model in practice, argue that perception of hazard risks is a critical determinant of adaptation decisions, but so are perceptions of self-efficacy, adaptation-efficacy, and adaptation cost. Frank et al (2011) concluded that social identity may play important role in the process of adaptation.…”

“…In one case, the political empowerment of one actor group was observed to be associated with disempowerment of other actor groups (Carey et al, ). Ultimately, disempowerment was related to the limitation on freedoms and adaptive capacity of particular social groups (e.g., Burnham & Ma, ; Lebel, ).…”

The framing of power in climate change adaptation research

Power mechanisms and structures shape climate change adaptation outcomes, the measures adopted, and who is identified as requiring adaptation support. But to what extent does research recognize such power‐adaptation linkages? Based on a systematic literature review, we enquire if and how the framing of power matters for adaptation research and what the implications may be for practice. Our enquiry is predicated on the relationship between the researcher and the research focus being itself a relationship of power. Since power is complex and a single definition is not desirable, different actor‐orientated frames of power were used for the data analysis. The results show that authors are more likely to work with issues of power to (i.e., agency), power over, and empowerment, rather than resistance or disempowerment. Demonstrating the effect of such frames, these proportions change according to whether the research focuses on equity, effectiveness, or participation. For instance, power to is strongly associated with effectiveness, while disempowerment is associated more with equity. Together with other identified patterns, our review shows that researchers frame power in adaptation in ways that constitute biases and blind spots. Attention to particular frames of power can limit attention to important dynamics within adaptation processes. Both the content and context to which the identified frames are applied suggest structural trends in adaptation research that require increased attention. Since researchers' frames of power influence both research outcomes and broader adaptation‐power relations, the results indicate that reflexivity is needed to improve both adaptation research and practice.

“…For instance, in the South African and Chinese WaterSES sites, scientific agendas are emerging that are strongly guided by water societal demands [60,61]. Similarly, in the Spanish semi-arid watersheds (Almeria, Spain) there is a strong body of recent work on the social-ecological issues surrounding water scarcity and the loss of ecosystem services [62][63][64], much of which has potential applicability to WaterSES sites in the USA, including insights as to the consequences of a future, drier climate.…”

Globally, environmental and social change in water-scarce regions challenge the sustainability of social-ecological systems. WaterSES, a sponsored working group within the Program for Ecosystem Change and Society, explores and compares the social-ecological dynamics related to water scarcity across placed-based international research sites with contrasting local and regional water needs and governance, including research sites in Spain and Sweden in Europe, South Africa, China, and Alabama, Idaho, Oklahoma, and Texas in the USA. This paper aims to provide a commentary on insights into conducting future solutions-oriented research on water scarcity based on the understanding of the social-ecological dynamics of water scarce regions.
