气候变化正在改变许多保护组织的决策格局。由于气候影响和适应办法的有效性存在不确定性，气候变化下的保护规划和实施具有挑战性。战略性地在保护计划中建立灵活性，以便随着时间的推移对不可预见的事件或新信息进行调整，是应对这一挑战的一个解决方案。然而，有各种各样的机制可供选择，以提高灵活性，因此有必要采取更有条理的方法，将建筑物的灵活性纳入保护计划。为了实现这一目标，我们将灵活战略概念化为三种类型，程序灵活性，资源灵活性和行动灵活性，并明确将其与气候风险和保护决策过程中的步骤联系起来。我们讨论了这个框架如何指导灵活的战略选择，包括确定成本和效益，并举例说明。这为保护组织提供了一个新的概念工具，以便就气候适应的灵活性作出战略选择。
Climate change is transforming the decision-making landscape for many conservation organizations. Conservation planning and implementation under climate change are challenging due to uncertainties about climate impacts and the effectiveness of adaptation options. Strategically building flexibility into conservation plans so they can be adjusted over time in response to unforeseen events, or new information, is one solution to this challenge. Yet, there are a wide range of mechanisms to choose from to enhance flexibility and so there is a need for a more structured approach to inform building flexibility into conservation plans. To achieve this, we conceptualize flexible strategies as three types, procedural flexibility, resource flexibility, and action flexibility, and explicitly link these to climate risks and steps in conservation decision-making processes. We discuss how this framework can guide choices of flexible strategies, including identifying the costs and benefits, and illustrate this using examples. This provides a new conceptual tool for conservation organizations to make strategic choices about flexibility for climate adaptation.
