Designing monitoring arrangements for collaborative learning about adaptation pathways
Abstract Adaptation pathways approaches support long-term planning under uncertainty. The use of adaptation pathways implies a systematic monitoring effort to inform future adaptation decisions. Such monitoring should feed into a long-term...
