Talk:Climate change adaptation

message: @ActivelyDisinterested: I noticed you made a few images smaller in this edit. Can you explain a bit? For me, it looked better on both mobile and desktop before. The graph has become unreadable, and the images too small to really discern. 
Neither option is really in line with WP:IMGSIZE, as we're not using upright. Easily fixible for the second image, but I'm not sure how to fix that for the multimage one. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:24, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That should have been 350 not 250, I'll update that. IMGSIZE says , and multi image adds a frame to the image. Switching to upright might help, as the auto-formatter deals with that better. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 20:36, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I didn't see that criterion. Seems like we need a better picture anyway, as it still displays poorly in the maximum size allowed.. Not sure if upright has the same restrictions.. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:41, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Which picture do you mean when you say "Seems like we need a better picture anyway" - is it the schematic under "Aims" or is it one of the collage images from the lead? If it's this one (on the right), then I think perhaps we should drop it. It's not easy to read and seems to overly focus on weather-related issues. EMsmile (talk) 09:43, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Taking advantage of global transportation systems to delivering surplus food to where it is needed (though this does not help subsistence farmers unless aid is given). Can anybody help explain reasons behind the wordings in bold? Thanks. ThomasYehYeh (talk) 06:26, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Well spotted, ThomasYehYeh. I've deleted that sentence now. It was unclear and used an unreliable/old source. But the entire section still needs an overhaul. EMsmile (talk) 09:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

message: I came across this article today: "Climate adaptation projects sometimes exacerbate the problems they try to solve – a new tool hopes to correct that". If someone has time, we could use some content from there to update/expand the current section on "maladaptation"? Pinging User:Richarit EMsmile (talk) 11:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add some content to maladaptation section? 

message: I've taken out this paragraph from History of climate change policy and politics as I think it didn't fit there. It's not well written though, more like a literature review. Is there anything in this that is worth saving?

Adaptation based policy focuses on adjusting environmental and human systems to respond to the predicted impacts of global warming. According to Klein, Schipper and Dessai, adaptation is necessary to accommodate permanent changes to the human environment that, regardless of mitigation attempts, cannot be reversed. Haibach and Schneider suggest that climate policy continues to move towards 'crisis management and plans for preventative measures'.Haibach, H. and Schneider, K., 2013.

Ruppel-Schlichting, ed., Climate Change: International Law and Global Governance: Volume II: Policy, Diplomacy and Governance in a Changing Environment, 1st ed. Baden-Baden: Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, p.372. Ford also states that the UNFCCC has evolved to address 'exposure to predicted climate change impacts' by stressing the need to adapt.

message: I've removed this recently added paragraph as I felt it was too detailed for this high-level article, and at the same time not really saying very much. All from one primary source.

The role of indigenous knowledge in climate change adaptation has gained increasing recognition in recent years. Traditional ecological knowledge, accumulated over generations, can provide valuable insights into local environmental conditions, climate variability, and sustainable practices. Makondo and Thomas (2018) argue that linking indigenous knowledge with western science can lead to more effective adaptation strategies. They propose a framework that integrates indigenous and scientific knowledge systems to develop context-specific, culturally relevant, and sustainable adaptation measures. By combining the strengths of both knowledge systems, communities can enhance their adaptive capacity and better respond to the challenges posed by climate change.
