While climate change adaptation research has increasingly focused on aspects of culture, a systematic treatment of the role of legal culture in how communities respond to climate risk has yet to be produced. This is despite the fact that law and legal authority are implicated in most, if not all, of the ways in which actors seek to reduce the risks posed to communities by climate change. Using a scoping review methodology, this article examines the intersection of climate change adaptation and legal culture in existing research. Overall, we find that the significance of legal culture for adaptation actions has been under-explored. Yet, it is also clear that a focus on legal culture holds significant promise for our understanding of climate change adaptation. We set out a research agenda for the field, highlighting the ways in which a focus on legal culture may enrich existing key themes within climate change adaptation research.

法律文化和气候变化适应：研究议程

虽然气候变化适应研究越来越侧重于文化方面，但对法律作用的系统处理社区如何应对气候风险的文化尚未形成。尽管法律和法律权威涉及大多数（如果不是全部）行为者寻求减少气候变化对社区造成的风险的方式。本文使用范围界定审查方法，审视了现有研究中气候变化适应与法律文化的交集。总的来说，我们发现法律文化对适应行动的重要性尚未得到充分探索。然而，同样清楚的是，对法律文化的关注对我们理解气候变化适应具有重要意义。我们为该领域制定了研究议程，强调关注法律文化可以丰富气候变化适应研究中现有关键主题的方式。
