Figure 16.7 |  Evidence on constraints and limits to adaptation by region and sector. Data from Thomas et al. (2021), based on 1682 scientific publications reporting on adaptation-related responses in human systems. See SM16.1 for methods. Low evidence: <20% of assessed literature has information on limits; literature mostly focuses on constraints to adaptation. Medium evidence: between 20% and 40% of assessed literature has information on limits; literature provides some evidence of constraints being linked to limits. High evidence: >40% of assessed literature has information on limits; literature provides broad evidence of constraints being linked to limits.
