摘要

随着广泛的气候变化影响的开始,脆弱人群适应更大的环境变异性的必要性正在增加。然而,尽管关键的适应研究强调必须解决气候变化脆弱性的潜在驱动因素,但主流的适应方法强调经济增长是气候响应的先决条件。因此,资本密集型适应措施提高了竞争力,以刺激越南湄公河三角洲的经济增长,该地区有1800多万人面临海水入侵、洪水、干旱和飓风等环境危害。本研究将竞争力作为有效适应气候变化的任务进行了评估。它发现适应可以促进竞争或减少脆弱性,但它不能在逻辑上或实际中同时追求两者。

Compelled to Compete: Rendering Climate Change Vulnerability Investable

The imperative for vulnerable populations to adapt to greater environmental variability is increasing in lockstep with the onset of wide-ranging climate change impacts. However, while critical adaptation research emphasizes the necessity of addressing the underlying drivers of vulnerability to climate change, mainstream approaches to adaptation stress economic growth as a prerequisite for climate responses. Accordingly, capital-intensive adaptation measures promote competitiveness to spur economic growth in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta, where more than 18 million people face environmental hazards such as seawater intrusion, flood, drought and cyclones. This study evaluates competitiveness as a mandate for effective climate change adaptation. It finds that adaptation can advance either competition or vulnerability reduction, but it cannot logically or pragmatically pursue both.
