Employing a qualitative, exploratory research paradigm and a non-experimental design, we analyzed secondary data, including scientific literature, gray documents, reports, and governmental publications. The sample comprised 83 participants, including 35 subject matter experts and 48 key farmers with significant experience in groundwater issues. Data collection primarily occurred through in-depth interviews. Findings indicate that the prevailing challenges stem from decades of unenforced extraction laws, fragmented institutional mandates, and politically driven water management. Factors such as unregulated extraction, political limitations in water management, and the absence of a systemic approach to integrated basin management, combined with ineffective enforcement of laws against violators, have exacerbated stress on water resources. Moreover, farmers prioritize water-intensive crops (e.g., sugar beet) due to market incentives and livelihood dependencies. Technical interventions alone are insufficient; restoring aquifer sustainability demands polycentric governance reforms, equitable enforcement, and livelihood diversification to align ecological and socio-economic priorities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100316"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145465148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing this gap, this study undertakes a comparative institutional analysis of community-level responses to climate threats in violence-prone settings. The research explores conditions that incentivize either cooperation or conflict, refraining from presuming one outcome as dominant. Using a structured analytical framework applied through a thematic analysis, it systematically examines environmental, relational, institutional, and systemic patterns across three case studies of localized collective adaptation to climate change under varying forms of violence. These case studies are located in Guatemala, Philippines and Kenya. The study identifies 18 factors that drive conflict or foster collaboration, revealing that while these factors are broadly consistent across contexts, their effects are highly context-dependent. In some cases, the same factor contributes to both conflict and collaboration within shared adaptation arenas, underscoring the complex interplay of drivers. These findings highlight the importance of analysing interactions among drivers when designing collective climate adaptation efforts, emphasizing opportunities to mitigate violence and foster collaboration. The study concludes that enhancing adaptive capacities and climate-resilient peace requires expanding adaptation strategies to address often-overlooked dynamics. These include the historical processes underpinning institutional multiplicity, the legitimacy of local security forces, and the cohesion among neighbouring communities. By realigning incentives toward collaboration, such interventions can simultaneously build resilience and advance peaceful relations, providing actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners working in violence-prone regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100276"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143161202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Taleghan mountain watershed in a semi-arid region of Iran was studied for the period 1999–2023 and the future period 2025–2040. The calculation was done for the past and two future emission scenarios, Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5, from the Dynamics Laboratory's Earth System Model 2 M (GFDL-ESM2M) (GCM). The reliability, resilience, vulnerability and SPI-RRV indicators in the health classification of the Taleghan Watershed had normal average values of 0.5, 0.57, 0.59 and 0.5 respectively, indicating a moderate health status. In the future period, average values for reliability, resilience, vulnerability, and SPI-RRV were 0.51, 0.54, 0.27, and 0.44 for RCP4.5, and 0.50, 0.56, 0.24, and 0.43 for RCP8.5. All indicators were classified as moderately healthy, except for the vulnerability index, which was classified as unhealthy. Therefore, the Taleghan Watershed will be more vulnerable to droughts in the future. The reductions in SPI-RRV indicated that the Watershed is not adapted to future droughts.

Data were collected from 383 farm households using structured and semi-structured questionnaires. The multivariate probit model (MVP) was employed to analyze the determinants of farmers' adaptation strategies. The findings reveal that crop diversification (79.9 %), drought-resistant varieties (62 %), early-maturing crops (55.6 %), and soil and water conservation (49.4 %) are the most widely adopted adaptation strategies across the three agroecological zones. The MVP model identified several key factors influencing farmers' choice of adaptation strategies, including age, education, family size, farm size, annual income, access to extension services, agroecological zone, livestock ownership, and market proximity. These factors play a significant role in shaping farmers' decisions and highlight the importance of tailored, context-specific policies.

In response to these challenges, several policy and on-the-ground efforts are being made towards advancing climate change adaptation (CCA). However, finding out what works, where and how is critical to the progress of CCA in India. To take stock of current adaptation practices and measures, we aim to review the existing adaptation research, providing valuable insights into India's adaptation measures. In this article, we present a systematic literature review that analyses the adaptation measures in India. We mapped English-language scientific journal articles that analysed CCA (<em>n</em> = 2124), particularly emphasising incremental and transformative adaptation in India between 2017 and 2023. We found that only (<em>n</em> = 28) per cent of articles focused categorically on adaptation measures, and the rest cursorily mentioned its importance in reducing the impacts of climate change. However, the number of publications steadily increased, peaking in 2021 (<em>n</em> = 10). Following the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge of adaptation-related articles was observed across various disciplines. Moreover, with only a limited number of articles focusing on CCA measures, there is a lack of clarity on how incremental and transformative measures are understood and explained in the literature. The literature focused mainly on technocratic approaches around agriculture sectors such as crop diversification, changing cropping and cultivation cycles, use of hybrid seeds, soil conservation practices, and livelihood diversification. Additionally, a geographical imbalance is evident, with limited research on adaptation in vulnerable regions such as northeast India. We conclude that while the impact of climate change on India is substantial, there are apparent knowledge gaps within the academic literature on CCA measures, including gender issues concerning women, soft adaptation measures such as capacity building and education and vulnerability of sensitive mountain systems. Given these gaps, future research should address the geographical and thematic imbalances in adaptation literature, emphasising vulnerable communities, gender dynamics and urban resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100291"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143838685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that Land System Science (LSS) needs to include more direct engagement with water as both a material and hydrosocially produced object integral to the study of land. Using Jevons' Paradox and the case of CPI growth in two counties/states between 2005 and 2020, we draw on a remote sensing analysis of irrigated and dryland agriculture, household surveys, and key informant interviews to triangulate results for more holistic understandings of land-water-people dynamics. Remote sensing results show large growth in CPI with a more recent slowing down of growth rates, while the proportion of irrigated to non-irrigated agriculture is increasing, raising questions of long-term water sustainability. The household survey results and key-informant interviews reveal a nuanced view of irrigation dynamics, illustrating tensions between residents' perceptions regarding water sustainability and the reality of their lived experiences. While ambiguity exists, most respondents perceive their situation to be more precarious <em>as a result</em> of irrigation (irrespective of the adoption and growth of CPI technologies). Moreover, decision-making is largely predicated on economic (rather than environmental) factors.
