Request for readings on climate adaptation for a climate change course

[Navroz K Dubash]

Dear colleagues and friends,

May I ask for your advice and suggestions of readings on climate adaptation to include in a masters level or upper level undergrad course on climate politics and policy? I am particularly interested in two sorts of papers:

1. Conceptual or review papers that lay out a framework for thinking through adaptation challenges.

2. Good case studies of adaptation that highlight political and governance challenges, particularly those focused on the Global South. I have found quite a few of these, but I don't know this literature well, and would be grateful for suggestions of papers that you find particularly insightful.

As an aside, I am struck by the relatively thin attention to adaptation in the climate politics syllabi posted on the very helpful Brown University repository. Please do correct me if I am wrong, or share any reflections on this observation.

As always, I will compile the responses I receive and share them with the group. And thanks again to the organisers for providing this means for the community to interact.

with best wishes for the new year,

Navroz Dubash

Dear colleagues and friends,

Thank you all so much for the tremendously useful and fast response to my request for suggestions of adaptation related readings. This group is such a great resource. My apologies for not writing back individually to each of you who responded; I got a bit snowed under. But please allow me to express a group thanks. Super useful.

I compiled the responses I received in the attached word doc. I included descriptions of the papers as I received them, because these descriptions provide a useful guide and context in many cases. I hope you find them as useful as I have done.

Many thanks!
