Abstract

Mitigation and adaptation coping with the adverse effects of climate change are crucially important in managing the risk. Research on climate mitigation and adaptation serves as the foundational pillar upon which resilient strategies are constructed. By examining 1835 journal articles indexed by Scopus, geographic patterns of research efforts and collaborations on mitigation and adaptation to climate changes and risks merge out. Research efforts are predominantly from Western countries but depict an uneven intensity. Whereas international collaboration concerns primarily developed countries in North America and Europe, recent research bridging activities with developing countries in Asia and Africa are growing.

气候减缓和适应:研究工作的区域不平衡

缓解和适应气候变化的不利影响对管理风险至关重要。气候缓解和适应研究是制定有韧性战略的基础支柱。通过检查Scopus索引的1835篇期刊文章，缓解和适应气候变化和风险的研究工作和合作的地理模式融合在一起。研究工作主要来自西方国家，但研究强度参差不齐。尽管国际合作主要涉及北美和欧洲的发达国家，但最近与亚洲和非洲发展中国家的研究对接活动正在增加。

期刊介绍： Anthropocene is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed works addressing the nature, scale, and extent of interactions that people have with Earth processes and systems. The scope of the journal includes the significance of human activities in altering Earth’s landscapes, oceans, the atmosphere, cryosphere, and ecosystems over a range of time and space scales - from global phenomena over geologic eras to single isolated events - including the linkages, couplings, and feedbacks among physical, chemical, and biological components of Earth systems. The journal also addresses how such alterations can have profound effects on, and implications for, human society. As the scale and pace of human interactions with Earth systems have intensified in recent decades, understanding human-induced alterations in the past and present is critical to our ability to anticipate, mitigate, and adapt to changes in the future. The journal aims to provide a venue to focus research findings, discussions, and debates toward advancing predictive understanding of human interactions with Earth systems - one of the grand challenges of our time.
