How we define success shapes the future of climate change adaptation
In short: A review of climate adaptation research found that how we define 'effectiveness' varies significantly depending on one's perspective. Researchers identified that different disciplinary and philosophical viewpoints can result in wildly different interpretations of what a successful climate response actually looks like.
The study highlights that the way effectiveness is framed can influence how climate policies are implemented and how power is exercised in decision-making. To address these conceptual challenges, the authors distilled eleven guiding principles intended to provide more diverse guidance for international and national monitoring processes.
Why it matters: How we define success in climate adaptation determines how we act and who holds influence.
