“…Overall, awareness-raising campaigns are an effective way of reducing marine debris [92] Water harvesting, water conservation, and improved efficiency are all options that contribute to reduce water needs. Measures aimed at improving water use efficiency can also lead to benefits in terms of improved soil moisture retention capacity [45]. Irrigation efficiency can also be improved through altering farming practices and conservation tillage that help improve soil moisture conservation [44].…”

“…The final list of options includes only those that (i) are mentioned as adaptation by at least one country and (ii) are found in the adaptation literature [31,[43][44][45][46][47]. For example, decentralized renewable energy or energy efficiency are mostly proposed in the mitigation section, but several countries mention those strategies also in relation to adaptation and their importance in coping with climate impacts is acknowledged within the adaptation literature [21,31].…”

Building a Framework to Understand the Energy Needs of Adaptation

Adaptation is a critical option to cope with climate change, as it alleviates the residual climate damages not avoided by emission reduction measures. However, adaptive actions can consume extra amounts of energy. This paper introduces a framework to identify the energy use associated with adaptation and qualifies its relevance in terms of sustainable development. A qualitative, bottom-up analysis of the policy commitments submitted in the context of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 UN Agenda for sustainable development is complemented with a review of the literature on adaptation, energy, and sustainable development. The analysis of the policy options related to vulnerability reduction in the Nationally Determined Contributions reveals a set of recurring adaptation strategies strongly associated with energy use. By linking the resulting options to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets and indicators, we show that energy-related adaptation options are all connected to at least one SDG, though the strength of the connection varies across adaptation options and SDGs. The descriptive synthesis provided in this paper sets a framework for future research aimed at assessing the energy implications of adaptation strategies, contributing to further understand the nexus between climate policy and development.

The aim of this study was to provide an evaluation of the current methods used to assess carbon sequestration (Cseq) rates from intertidal Zostera spp. meadows in central Southern England. This study evaluated the use of 210Pb dating methods to calculate sediment accretion rates from four intertidal seagrass meadows along the southern central coast of England. Results obtained were then used to determine Cseq rates, following different models. The mean rate of Cseq calculated in this study using the CRS model was 75.12 g m-2 year-1, comparable to other global regions and within the estimated global range. However, results revealed that other, conservative methods, provide much lower Cseq rates, highlighting the need for caution when choosing appropriate methods and reporting results related to seagrass carbon sequestration potential. Moreover, these results highlight the importance of local assessments of Cseq, and the need to create robust models that include the effects of mixing, erosion, and disturbance, to better understand the possible effects of extreme climate events and anthropogenic impacts on seagrass ecosystems' carbon sequestration potential.
