北极地区正在经历全球最迅速的气候变化，适应已被确定为各规模的优先事项。适应气候变化影响的预见性规划通常遵循一系列步骤：评估当前和未来的脆弱性，确定潜在的适应，确定备选方案的优先顺序，实施按优先顺序排列的备选方案，以及监测和评估执行情况。虽然这些步骤中的大多数都有很好的记录，但对北极社区适应优先次序的进程进行了有限的审查。在这篇文章中，我们在现有工具的基础上，提出了一个框架，用于确定适应选择的优先顺序并指导北极地区实施的决策。我们的适应优先排序框架使用四个适应绩效标准(时间尺度、公平、可持续性和总成本)，通过多标准决策分析和以网络为中心的方法来评估备选方案，促进采用参与式方法确定适应优先顺序和规划。我们使用加拿大北极努纳武特地区的一个假设例子来说明该框架的应用。
Arctic regions are experiencing the most rapid climate change globally and adaptation has been identified as a priority across scales. Anticipatory planning to adapt to the impacts of climate change usually follows a number of steps: assess current and future vulnerability, identify potential adaptations, prioritize options, implement prioritized options, and monitor and evaluate implementation . While most of these steps are well documented, there has been limited examination of the process of adaptation prioritization in Arctic communities. In this paper, we build upon existing tools and propose a framework for prioritizing adaptation options and guiding decision-making for implementation in Arctic regions. Using four adaptation performance criteria (timescale, equity, sustainability and total costs) to evaluate options through a multi-criteria decision analysis coupled with a network centric approach, our Adaptation Prioritization Framework promotes a participatory approach for adaptation prioritization and planning. We illustrate application of the framework using a hypothetical example from the territory of Nunavut in the Canadian Arctic.
