| Summary: | This inaugural editorial introduces the research
topics addressed by the journal Change and Adaptation
in Socio-Ecological Systems (CASES). A recent literature
analysis revealed that the amount of integrative, interand
transdisciplinary research activities on climate and
global change, adaptive strategies, actor behaviors and
response opportunities has increased significantly in the
last few decades. Also, research activities on major drivers
for the change and adaptation of socio-ecological systems,
namely climate change, socio-economic and political
changes and technological development have increased
considerably since the 1950s. A publication platform
that allows for overarching perspectives, integrative
viewpoints, and the exchange of ideas among related
disciplines in Socio-Ecological Systems (SES) science is
provided by the new journal CASES.
