本文提出了一个系统性框架，用于识别可能阻碍气候变化适应过程的障碍。该框架针对有计划的适应过程，并聚焦于具有潜在挑战性但可改变的障碍。三组关键要素构成了该框架的架构。首先，对一种理想化的、理性的适应决策方法进行分阶段描述，构成了过程要素。其次，一组相互关联的结构要素包括行为主体、他们所处的更大环境（例如治理环境）以及他们作用的对象（受气候变化影响的相关系统）。在每个阶段，我们都会问：（i）什么可能阻碍适应过程；（ii）行为主体、环境和相关系统是如何造成障碍的。为了便于识别障碍，我们提供了一系列诊断性问题。第三，通过一个简单的矩阵来完善该框架，以帮助确定克服特定障碍的干预点。它为回答关于如何在各级决策中支持气候变化适应的关键问题提供了一个系统性的起点。
This article presents a systematic framework to identify barriers that may impede the process of adaptation to climate change. The framework targets the process of planned adaptation and focuses on potentially challenging but malleable barriers. Three key sets of components create the architecture for the framework. First, a staged depiction of an idealized, rational approach to adaptation decision-making makes up the process component. Second, a set of interconnected structural elements includes the actors, the larger context in which they function (e. g., governance), and the object on which they act (the system of concern that is exposed to climate change). At each of these stages, we ask (i) what could impede the adaptation process and (ii) how do the actors, context, and system of concern contribute to the barrier. To facilitate the identification of barriers, we provide a series of diagnostic questions. Third, the framework is completed by a simple matrix to help locate points of intervention to overcome a given barrier. It provides a systematic starting point for answering critical questions about how to support climate change adaptation at all levels of decision-making.
