环境压力的累积和协同影响，特别是在地势低洼的热带沿海地区，对生态系统的治理构成了挑战，因为生态系统为社区提供以自然资源为基础的生计。在这里，我们试图了解对厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜事件影响的反应与哥伦比亚加勒比地区依赖红树林的社区的脆弱性之间的关系。使用两个案例研究站点，我们展示了社区如何受到厄尔尼诺和拉尼娜事件的影响并对其做出反应的短期反应，以及这种反应如何影响他们对环境逐渐恶化的适应能力。我们表明，某些应对气候变化的措施目前会产生不适应的结果，导致可能导致系统‘锁定’的情况，并产生不受欢迎的生态状态，加剧未来的生计脆弱性。我们强调社会障碍在区域内脆弱性方面的重要作用，包括对国家被遗弃、不信任和与当局冲突的看法。减少脆弱性的机会包括提高社区的能力，以便在可证明的经验学习能力的基础上采取更积极和预防性的应对措施。然而，这将需要不同级别的正式和非正式组织之间的密切合作，并制定共同的协调一致的适应战略，以管理多种相互作用的环境和气候压力的复杂性。
Cumulative and synergistic impacts from environmental pressures, particularly in low-lying tropical coastal regions, present challenges for the governance of ecosystems, which provide natural resource-based livelihoods for communities. Here, we seek to understand the relationship between responses to the impacts of El Niño and La Niña events and the vulnerability of mangrove-dependent communities in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Using two case study sites, we show how communities are impacted by, and undertake reactive short-term responses to, El Niño and La Niña events, and how such responses can affect their adaptive capacity to progressive environmental deterioration. We show that certain coping measures to climate variability currently deliver maladaptive outcomes, resulting in circumstances that could contribute to system ‘lock-in’ and engender undesirable ecological states, exacerbating future livelihood vulnerabilities. We highlight the significant role of social barriers on vulnerabilities within the region, including perceptions of state abandonment, mistrust and conflicts with authorities. Opportunities to reduce vulnerability include enhancing the communities’ capacity to adopt more positive and preventative responses based on demonstrable experiential learning capacity. However, these will require close cooperation between formal and informal organisations at different levels, and the development of shared coherent adaptation strategies to manage the complexity of multiple interacting environmental and climatic pressures.
