本文探讨了与适应全球气候变化影响有关的治理规模问题。《联合国气候变化框架公约》是协调应对全球气候变化威胁的国际行动的主要机制。《公约》进程将适应视为国际转让的另一个理由，在这种情况下，是为了补偿潜在或已实现的影响并为之做好准备。这一方针的理由是，加强可持续发展将提高适应能力，计划的活动是总体适应的关键部分。但是，许多适应气候变化的行动将是对环境中感知和实际风险的自发行动。因此，体制和经济参数决定了社会的潜在脆弱性和适应能力。因此，我认为，适应过程的理解允许在最适当的规模干预和有计划的适应。我说明了这些参数与农业适应，并概述了跨学科的发展研究，可以告知气候变化的辩论的见解。
This paper examines the issue of scale of governance relevant for adaptation to the impacts of global climate change. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary mechanism for coordinating international action on the threat of global climate change. The Convention process perceives adaptation as a further rationale for international transfers, in this case to compensate for and prepare for potential or realized impacts. This approach can be justified by recourse to the idea that enhancing sustainable development will enhance adaptive capacity and that planned activities are a key part of overall adaptation. But many adaptations to climate change will be spontaneous actions to perceived and actual risks in the environment. Thus institutional and economic parameters determine the underlying vulnerability and adaptive capacity of societies. I therefore argue that an understanding of adaptation processes allows interventions and planned adaptations at the most appropriate scales. I illustrate these arguments with reference to adaptation in agriculture and outline the insights from interdisciplinary development studies that can inform the climate change debates.
