在气候变化领域,随着对气候变化本身不断的关注,适应性研究不断涌现。因此,理清气候变化适应性研究的脉络、把握国际适应性研究的发展趋势和动向,对未来气候变化脆弱性的削减、针对性地提高人类适应和应对能力具有重要的意义。依据国际气候变化适应性研究的主要文献,分析了气候变化适应性的概念及其应用,适应性与适应能力、响应能力和恢复力之间的相互关系;综述了气候变化适应性的情景模型测算、适应性选择、不同尺度适应能力、主动适应策略研究的4个集中领域;总结了气候变化适应性社区尺度、自下而上手段、适应性过程研究的趋势。

　Analyses on adap tability in climate change field emerge concurrentlywith the growing awareness to climate change itself. It is of important significance for reducing the vulnerability of climate change and increasing the adap tability and adap tive capability of human beings to understand the research app roaches, analysis content under p resent situation and international tendency of research on the adap tability in climate change based on literature re2 view in this field. In this paper, the concep t of adap tability in climate change and its app lication aswell as the relations between the adap tability and the adap tive capability, and between the response capability and the resilience are analyzed. Moreover, the four focus research fields including the effect of the assumed adap tability, specific adap tation op tions, relative adap tive capability of different countries, regions or communities, and p ractical adap tation initiatives are reviewed, and a general summary of adap tability research orientation ( e. g. community2based adap ta2 bility, bottom2up app roach and adap tation p rocesses) is carried out.
