SUMMARY:Adaptation opportunities for transformative adaptation pathways planning
DESCRIPTION:Adaptation pathways provide an approach for long-term planning of adaptation under deep uncertainty by sequencing individual options over time while leaving future options open\, depending on the speed and extent of climate change. Within an adaptation pathway\, the implementation of a new option is traditionally triggered by (approaching) adaptation thresholds (also referred to as adaptation tipping points)\, namely the conditions or timing when current adaptation options stop performing as desired. In this research\, we complement these with the concept of adaptation opportunities. We here define adaptation opportunities as the conditions or moment in time when it is beneficial to implement new adaptation options\, before any thresholds of current measures have been reached or are even approaching. Such opportunities can result from the cost-efficiency of an action being particularly high at a specific moment in time\, and/or the presence of (multiple) specific enabling factors. \nWe start by identifying which categories of adaptation opportunities exist based on a review of adaptation literature\, and we position those within the existing adaptation pathways approach. We then assess how each adaptation opportunity category can be measured and map the different categories across Europe as of today. This results in the identification of present adaptation hotspots in Europe\, namely\, specific areas where adaptation opportunities are particularly high. Adaptation opportunities can serve to frame adaptation action more positively in such a way that goes beyond avoiding adaptation tipping points. In addition\, high opportunities for adaptation may serve as an initial trigger for adaptation action which goes beyond incremental measures and instead may trigger system transformations.

SUMMARY:Lessons from a decade of adaptation pathways studies
DESCRIPTION:Adaptation pathways planning is an approach that maps the adaptation solution space over time to inform decision making under uncertainty. Since its first applications on climate change adaptation in the late ’10s several research studies and practical applications have used and extended the approach and discussed its benefits\, limits and complexity. This presentation elaborates lessons learned on the use and value of adaptation pathways approaches for decision making using a set of guiding questions related to the decision context\, the methods used\, and contributions to decision making. Based on our experience and literature review we find that: a) a pathways analysis has been applied widely and is moving from theory to practice; b) can be tailored and typically follows a staged approach; c) methods include narratives\, impact models\, and stakeholder participation tools; c) complexity of pathways as a result of multiple sectors\, hazards\, and actions at various scales is a challenge\, and this is increasingly considered through various extensions of the approach. Ways forward to address the challenges and facilitate applications include model-based pathways\, nested pathways (at different scales) and incorporating pathways scenarios in climate risk assessments.

SUMMARY:Adaptive capacity in the water sector under socio-economic and climate uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Under the impelling challenges posed by climate change\, population growth\, and evolving socio-economic landscapes\, the ability of water systems to adapt to changing conditions is critical for ensuring resilience and sustainable resource management. As various regions face escalating water scarcity and more intense occurrences of droughts and floods\, many of these areas also grapple with underdeveloped infrastructure\, lack of access to sanitation services and essential water resources for both populations and agricultural activities.\nWhen rainfall patterns change and groundwater is at risk of exploitation\, water-saving techniques and alternative water sources such as desalination and water recycling need to be made available\, which implies higher costs compared to conventional water sources.\nUsing different datasets on technology adoption and country survey data\, we assess the historical development of potential adaptation technologies (desalination and wastewater treatment)\, as well as trends in water infrastructure providing access and sanitation services. We then study the relation of these variables to socio-economic factors (e.g. population\, GDP\, governance) and climate variables (temperature increase\, water stress\, flood intensity). We use regression models to understand the future capacity to develop and adapt under different socio-economic futures (identified with the Shared Socio-economic Pathways\, SSPs) and climate scenarios\, defined by levels of warming.\nPreliminary results show a strong linkage between water access and sanitation indicators with GDP and inequality\, while governance structure seems to play a significant role in the deployment of desalination technologies.\nComparative analyses of different technologies will help modelling communities to explore the effectiveness of different adaptive strategies and inform policy decisions on the most suitable and challenging adaptation options in the water sector and the most plausible adaptation scenarios.

SUMMARY:Adaptation effectiveness decreases with increasing warming
DESCRIPTION:At present\, we have a limited understanding of the effectiveness of adaptation to reduce risks in a warming world\, as adaptation remains insufficiently addressed in climate impact projections. Where projections exist\, these are mostly assessed in case study settings. Based on a meta-review of projections of adaptation\, we assess the ability of different modelled water-related adaptation options to reduce climate risk at 1.5°C\, 2°C\, 3°C and 4°C of warming and show that the effectiveness of the assessed options decreases with increasing warming across all world regions and options. Our study focusses on those adaptation options most readily represented in sectoral climate impact models and thereby have direct relevance in making progress on better representing adaptation potentials within quantitative adaptation scenarios.

SUMMARY:Keynote - What Works? IPCC evidence for understanding climate policy pathways and implementation
DESCRIPTION:Jim Skea is IPCC Chair for the seventh assessment cycle\, Chair of Scotland’s Just Transition Commission and Professor of Sustainable Energy at the Imperial College London (UK).\nKey messages: \n\nIPCC is a unique science-policy interface. Progress in international policy is directly linked to the various assessments by the IPCC synthesizing the state of scientific knowledge.\nImproving our solution-oriented knowledge is increasingly important for international climate negotiations and the global stocktake.\nThe solution-oriented knowledge around pathways to keeping warming well below 2ºC needs to be complemented with a sound understanding of what policies work\, under what conditions in any way.\n\nFollowed by a panel on Towards solution-oriented IPCC assessments
