dc.description.abstractThe importance of adaptation is widely acknowledged in the Arctic. Nevertheless, the literature remains dominated by impacts and vulnerability studies. While many of these projects have documented adaptations and coping strategies currently being utilized, few examine their effectiveness, durability, socio-economic and ecological implications, and long-term viability in light of multiple stresses and competing policy priorities. This review of literature shows that although major, multi-year research programs focusing on Arctic climate change have been initiated, much research is being duplicated and policy applications overlooked due to the proliferation of studies. Research needs to focus on identifying and characterizing sustainable and feasible adaptation interventions.en
