针对最近发现的气候变化适应综合评估面临的挑战，我们提出了一个纳入多学科适应观点的评估框架。该框架结合了三个主要组成部分，将面向自然灾害和气候变化的风险和脆弱性的系统导向概念与面向行动者的决策方法联系起来：风险背景、个人决策和适应评估。因此，我们开发了一种嵌入上下文和规模的方法，采用面向参与者的视角，并且适用于多种评估方法。我们采用混合方法对框架进行了实证测试，以评估越南湄公河三角洲洪水暴露地区的适应能力。这表明了良好适应的独特含义，并揭示了不同参与者在适应战略选择和评估这些战略方面存在的不匹配，阻碍了可持续发展。
Responding to recently identified challenges in the comprehensive evaluation of climate change adaptation, we suggest an assessment framework that incorporates a multidisciplinary viewpoint on adaptation. The framework combines three major components to link system‐oriented concepts of risk and vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change with actor‐oriented approaches of decision‐making: the risk context, individual decision‐making, and adaptation assessment. We have thereby developed an approach that is embedded in context and scale, takes an actor‐oriented perspective, and is applicable to multiple evaluation approaches. We tested the framework empirically with a mixed‐methods approach to assess adaptation in flood‐exposed areas of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. This has shown the distinct meanings of good adaptation and uncovered mismatches in choices for adaptation strategies and evaluations of those strategies across different actors hindering sustainable development.
