1. 1. Adaptive capacity for social and environmental change : The role of networks in Chile’s small-scale fisheries

   Författare :Andrés Marín; Beatrice Crona; Nadine Marshall; Stockholms universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : World’s small-scale fisheries (SSF) face permanent and increasing external changes and shocks that challenge their viability and potential as an engine of human sustainable development. It is broadly assumed and expected that fishers and their communities have the capacity to adapt to current and future social and ecological changes. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : The effects of climate change are already being felt today, and future effects, which will be determined by the readiness and resolve of today’s world leaders, are fraught with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity, and transboundary effects – characteristics of systemic risk. Since climate change is seen as a threat multiplier, the risks that might be impacted by climate change, such as floods and dam failure, will be affected by systemic risk characteristics as well.

4. 3. Histories of reindeer husbandry resilience : land use and social networks of reindeer husbandry in Swedish Sápmi 1740-1920

   Författare :Isabelle Brännlund; Per Axelsson; Tom Ericsson; Bruce Forbes; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; History; Sápmi; reindeer husbandry; resilience; adaptive capacity; livelihood diversity; taxation land; place-attachment; social organization; historia; History;

   Sammanfattning : Against a background of ongoing and predicted climatic and environmental change facing humans on a global level, this thesis combines historical perspectives with theories of social resilience in a study of reindeer husbandry in Swedish Sápmi, from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. The thesis includes four individual studies that examine the topic from different angles, connected together by reoccurring elements of social resilience. LÄS MER

5. 4. Climate change resilience : exploring socio-ecological system resilience for livelihood effects of climate change in peri-urban areas

   Författare :Lazaro Mngumi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Ecosystem services are increasingly regarded as having the potential for building resilience to the effects of climate change in urban and peri-urban areas. Despite this, the knowledge of ecosystem services typologies aligned with analysis of how they might contribute in building resilience for specific effects of climate change is largely lacking, especially in peri-urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa.

7. 5. Climate Change Resilience : exploring socio-ecological system resilience for livelihood effects of climate change in peri-urban areas

   Författare :Lazaro Mngumi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Ecosystem services are increasingly regarded as having the potential for building resilience to the effects of climate change in urban areas. Despite this, the knowledge of ecosystem services typologies aligned with analysis of how they might contribute in building resilience for specific effects of climate change is largely lacking, especially in peri-urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
