提交摘要截止日期:2021年6月30日


The International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts (ICEC) is a triennial event initiated by the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES). Six such conferences have been held in Hangzhou and Guangzhou, China; Sendai, Japan; Hanoi, Vietnam; Muscat, Oman, and Caen, France in 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2018, respectively. With support from different international associations and projects, and with the participation of experts and scholars worldwide, the ICEC has attracted wide attention and has become an important and popular event. The 7th International Conference on Estuaries and Coasts: Anthropocene Coasts will be held in Shanghai during October 18-21, 2021. The conference is hosted by the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation, and organized by the State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, East China Normal University.

Topics:
  1. Hydrodynamics in estuaries and coasts;
  2. Sediment transport dynamics;
  3. Multi-scale morphodynamics;
  4. Coastal management;
  5. Estuarine and coastal modeling;
  6. Filed monitoring and technology;
  7. Coastal ecosystem development;
  8. Anthropocene Coasts.

Abstract Submission Deadline:30 June, 2021


确定加速适应气候变化的解决空间
Defining the solution space to accelerate climate change adaptation
*Note of figure: Conceptualisation of the solution space (grey area), possible shaping actions, changes and shocks (arrows), and alternative adaptation pathways in the solution space (coloured lines). A changing solution space can indicate that adaptation options and pathways become available, thus opening up the solution space (full colour), or becoming unavailable/not possible to implement and thus closing down the solution space (transparent).
决策者需要对解决方案有更好的见解,以加快适应性工作的展开。 定义解决空间的概念并揭示影响该空间的力量和策略,将有助于决策者确定适应行动的途径。
作者将解决空间定义为机会和约束条件决定为什么、如何、何时以及由谁来适应气候风险。 解决空间是在给定的时间点上由生物物理、文化、社会经济和政治制度维度决定的。在这些维度内,存在“硬”限制(不可逾越的)和“软”限制(可逾越的)。 作者认为,需要考虑解决空间的四个关键特征,以加快适应气候变化。

Decision makers need better insights about solutions to accelerate adaptation efforts. Defining the concept of solution space and revealing the forces and strategies that influence this space will enable decision makers to define pathways for adaptation action.
The authors define the solution space as the space within which opportunities and constraints determine why, how, when, and who adapts to climate risks. The solution space is shaped by biophysical, cultural, socio-economic, and political-institutional dimensions at a given moment in time. Within these dimensions, there are ‘hard’ (unsurpassable) limits and ‘soft’ (surpassable) limits. The authors argue that there are four key characteristics of the solution space that need to be considered to accelerate climate change adaptation.

由谁以及如何管理撤退?确定和界定治理模式
Managed retreats by whom and how? Identifying and delineating governance modalities
*Note of figure: Retreat governance framework.

随着气候变化加剧了社会自然灾害风险和受灾社区迫在眉睫的隐患,有管理的撤退已成为当务之急。从国家到私营部门和民间社会,行动者可以通过各种手段在不同的时间和规模上发起撤退。然而,由于缺乏一致的战略构想、指导框架和管理撤退的能力,风险社区、他们选出的代表、决策者和规划者被迫开始撤退治理实验。因此,撤退被视为一项“高度遗憾”的政策,势必会对社区的福祉、政治和职业风险造成不利影响。为了帮助将管理撤退的理念转化为现实,本文提出了一个承认“管理撤退”多重性的治理框架。利用新西兰奥特罗亚的例子,确定和描绘了撤退模式,并澄清了术语,将此框架与国际文献相结合,从几十年的人类流动实践中汲取宝贵的经验教训。

Managed retreat has become a compelling policy imperative as climate change exacerbates socio-natural hazard risks and imminent harm looms for exposed communities. Retreats may be initiated over different times and scales using various instruments by actors, from the state to the private sector and civil society. However, in the absence of a coherent strategic vision, guiding frameworks, and capacity to manage retreats, at-risk communities, their elected representatives, policy makers, and planners are compelled to embark on retreat governance experiments. Consequently, retreat is perceived as a ‘high regrets’ policy imperative with potentially adverse impacts for community wellbeing, as well as political and professional risks. To help translate managed retreat rhetoric into reality, this paper presents a governance framework that acknowledges the multiplicity of ‘managed retreats.’ Using examples from Aotearoa-New Zealand, we identify and delineate retreat modalities and clarify terminology, converging our framework with the international mobility literature to harness the valuable lessons from decades of human mobility practice.
