The role of government interventions in household climate adaptation on the Tibetan Plateau

Sustainable urbanization and vulnerability to climate change in Africa: Accounting for digitalization and institutional quality

“…Based on this, the attendant literature also shows that political and economic institutions are relevant in effective adaptation to climate change through effective government interventions (He et al, 2022).…”

“…First, the institutional quality channel, having as its anchor the existing literature that supports the perspective that sustainable urbanization plays an important role in government policies and institutional quality by improving rules and laws, but also governmental efficiency and stability for sustainable development (Kagan et al, 2018). Based on this, the attendant literature also shows that political and economic institutions are relevant in effective adaptation to climate change through effective government interventions (He et al, 2022).…”

Integrating policy measures into the assessment of household livelihood resilience to climate change in the Pumqu River Basin, Tibetan Plateau

“…According to He et al (2022), we selected credit, subsidies, promotion of new crops, infrastructure (construction of irrigation facilities and roads), cooperative organization and skills training as our indicators of policy measures. Basic infrastructure, e.g., transport, is a first step towards creating an "enabling environment" for autonomous adaptation (Castells-Quintana et al, 2018).…”

“…High subsidies, as a form of direct financial support, protect households against weather shocks (Macours et al, 2022), reduce the instability of agricultural income (Bojnec and Fertő, 2019) and greatly improve household production and living conditions (He et al, 2022), therefore could enhance HLR to tackle climate change. Moreover, the popularization rate of credit in the PRB was high, and 80% of households would borrow from the bank when they encountered financial problems, with an average credit amount of 67672 RMB (9402 USD) per household.…”

“…Moreover, landslides, debris flows and glacial lake eruptions often cause significant damage to human lives and properties, jeopardize major infrastructures (Yao et al, 2019), and has had a serious impact the livelihoods of local residents (Hu et al, 2020). To solve this problem, the local government has formulated a series of policy measures to enhance adaptability to climate change, including but not limited to providing diversified subsidies and credit and improving infrastructure (He et al, 2022;Hua et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2019). In this context, the TP has become an ideal area to integrate policy measures into assessment HLR.…”
