“…Regarding the elements considered in the assessments, "risk" (n = 217) and "vulnerability" (n = 184) themselves were the most frequently identified ones (appearing in over 77% of the studies; Figure 2B). These were followed by studies that addressed specific vulnerability and risk-related elements, such as "exposure" (n = 130), "sensitivity" (n = 123), and "adaptive capacity" (n = 97) (e.g., Tompkins et al, 2008;Stevens and Collins, 2011;Clarke et al, 2020). It is important to note that c. 22% of the studies (n = 53; Supplementary Table 3) addressed all elements simultaneously (e.g., Soto et al, 2019).…”

Climate-Related Vulnerability and Risk Assessment of Main Ocean Uses: An Overview

Vulnerability and risk analyses have been increasingly used in a wide variety of contexts to support ocean management and planning processes. Depending on the context, such analyses may focus on different dimensions, spatial scales, and hazards. In the particular context of climate change, the variability inherent to the developed assessments has led to the emergence of numerous methodological frameworks, allowing for advances in the field while raising uncertainties on applied concepts, definitions, and approaches. In the present study, we developed a systematic literature review to analyze and discuss the key concepts, methodologies, and limitations of existing vulnerability and risk assessments of main ocean uses to global climate change. We analyzed over 314 scientific references regarding the elements considered in the analysis (e.g., exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity), dimensions (e.g., ecological, economic, social), type of indicators (e.g., quantitative, qualitative), maritime activities, climate-related drivers of change, and spatial scales. Results show that most vulnerability and risk assessments address fisheries and marine conservation, and that sea-level rise and extreme events are the most frequently considered climate-related drivers of change. The main identified limitations pertain to the level of subjectivity and the tremendous variety of concepts, areas of expertise, and systems addressed in such studies. We highlight that further research is needed particularly on the development of cross-sectoral studies and integrative approaches, using multiple indicators and frameworks. There is also a need for assessments explicitly designed to support ocean planning and integrated marine management processes. Review processes such as the present one provide a “big picture,” allowing for a global view on complex topics, and contributing to advances in the field.

“…Predictive modelling studies incorporating sea-level changes based on IPCC projections indicating the potential impacts of sea-level rise have been undertaken for a number of coastal areas of the world, including Australia (e.g. Abuodha and Woodroffe 2010; Akumu et al 2010;Ghilardi and Desruelles 2008;Kvamme 1999;McInnes et al 2013;Stevens and Collins 2011;Zhang et al 2004). These are important studies but need to be coupled with long-term monitoring to determine what changes are actually occurring on the coast.…”

<p>Australia's coastal zone contains a diverse range of cultural heritage places. They are, however, negatively impacted by a multitude of natural and cultural factors. Currently there are few robust site monitoring programmes that focus on identifying the causes and directions of change in the coastal zone and the impacts that these changes have on heritage places. With case studies from Queensland, we outline and evaluate a number of potential approaches to coastal monitoring. They range from localised but inexpensive combinations of anecdotal observations coupled with geoindicators, to the use of more recent and sophisticated technologies such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) remote sensing. We also propose there is a need to establish cooperative information data sharing arrangements in Australia for coastal monitoring studies.</p>

“…It is also commonly acknowledged that globally, not all territories have been equally investigated, in the same way that strategies for resilience facilitation have not yet all been exhausted or even analysed. For example, the coastal towns of several countries have been the object of a broad range of studies to ameliorate community resilience as a response to climate change and the consequent worsening and impact of extreme climate events (Singh-Peterson et al , 2015; Stevens and Collins, 2011; Brooks and Adger, 2005). Yet it seems that rural towns have been less investigated in the very same countries.…”

Purpose Whilst resilience has been a critical academic topic and worldwide issue for many decades, not all territories have been equally investigated. In addition, the role of architecture in contributing to community resilience against climate change has been overlooked. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to shed light on what is the current state of the art of community resilience in rural towns and what type of architectural strategies has been recognised for facilitating resilience. Design/methodology/approach The study has combined literature review and architectural project review. Findings There are four major findings to this research that could impact policy making and decision making if implemented at different institutional levels. First, there is an evident increased academic interest on this topic. Second, there is a need for a greater consultation among the different stakeholders that participate in the planning and implementation of the future-focused adaptation strategies. Third, the potential for the architectural discipline to play an active role in facilitating and ameliorating community resilience has been identified. Fourth, there is a need to integrate placed-based and identity-related factors/components into a community’s framework for resilience amelioration. Research limitations/implications One limitation is the fact that the literature review investigated only English literature. Also, the review relied mostly on online findings and, for the good-practice review, did not take into consideration direct local knowledge, which would have required travelling the globe and all of Australia in order to collect feedback. Thus, some projects and literature might have been missed. Originality/value The value of this research is to compare findings from literature review (scholar activities) and best practices (architectural activities). In combining the two aspects, it merges a gap in research.
