Abstract

Hotspots 2.0 embodies current thinking about planning. It looks at multiple drivers of change and the interrelation of human and natural systems from an integrated policy approach. This article assesses 114 relevant peer review cases and the usefulness of the “Hotspots 2.0” concept to examine integrative responses to climatic and non-climatic vulnerabilities in various hotspot regions. It underscores how integrated responses to climatic and non-climatic drivers of change can offer complementary policy directives to support National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs). Attention to both the social and natural realms is crucial for building adaptive capacity.
