尽管国际社会关注如何促进适应气候变化，但大量的适应措施将不可避免地由家庭和社区在地方层面实施。本文介绍了印度南部渔业村庄的适应情况。普利卡特泻湖被呈现为一个动态环境趋势和冲击的系统。对生计多样化的分析表明，一些家庭比其他家庭更能适应环境变化。出乎意料的是，适应能力最差的并不是最贫穷的人，而是被困在过度专业化渔业中的渔民。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Despite international focus on how to facilitate adaptation to climate change, a good deal of adaptation will, inevitably, be enacted by households and communities at the local level. This paper provides an account of adaptation among villages in a south Indian fishery. Pulicat lagoon is presented as a system of dynamic environmental trends and shocks. An analysis of livelihood diversification, illustrates that some households are more adaptable to environmental change than others. Unexpectedly, it is not the poorest who are the least able to adapt, but rather fishers who have become locked into an overly specialised fishery. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
