The IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report Working Group II report of (2022) has brought greater attention to the issue of limits to the capacity to adapt to climate change. But the report also showed that research in the field continues to be fragmented and under-developed, and that the problem of limits is not widely considered in policy. In this paper, we argue for a more coherent, interdisciplinary approach to research on adaptation limits, linked to the concept of transformative adaptation. A risk-based approach to adaptation limits offers a framework to deepen, broaden and connect research which responds to the needs of policymakers. We set out four promising directions for future research on: the dimensions of limits; the dynamics of limits; formalization of research on limits; and ethics and justice challenges underpinning adaptation limits.

适应的局限性：建立综合研究议程

IPCC（2022年）第六次评估报告第二工作组报告更加关注气候变化适应能力的局限性问题。但该报告还表明，该领域的研究仍然是零散和不发达的，政策中没有广泛考虑限制问题。在本文中，我们主张采用一种更连贯的跨学科方法来研究适应性限制，并将其与变革性适应的概念联系起来。基于风险的适应限制方法提供了一个框架来深化、扩大和联系响应决策者需求的研究。我们为未来的研究设定了四个有前途的方向：极限的维度；限制的动态；极限研究的形式化；以及支撑适应限制的道德和正义挑战。
