There is a clear need for a state‐of‐the‐art review of how public participation in climate change adaptation is being considered in research across academic communities: The Rio Declaration developed in 1992 at the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) included explicit goals of citizen participation and engagement in climate actions (Principle 10). Nation states were given special responsibility to facilitate these by ensuring access to information and opportunities to participate in decision‐making processes. Since then the need for public participation has featured prominently in calls to climate action. Using text analysis to produce a corpus of abstracts drawn from Web of Science, a review of literature incorporating public participation and citizen engagement in climate change adaptation since 1992 reveals lexical, temporal, and spatial distribution dynamics of research on the topic. An exponential rise in research effort since the year 2000 is demonstrated, with the focus of research action on three substantial themes—risk, flood risk, and risk assessment, perception, and communication. These are critically reviewed and three substantive issues are considered: the paradox of participation, the challenge of governance transformation, and the need to incorporate psycho‐social and behavioral adaptation to climate change in policy processes. Gaps in current research include a lack of common understanding of public participation for climate adaptation across disciplines; incomplete articulation of processes involving public participation and citizen engagement; and a paucity of empirical research examining how understanding and usage of influential concepts of risk, vulnerability and adaptive capacity varies among different disciplines and stakeholders. Finally, a provisional research agenda for attending to these gaps is described.

公众参与、参与和气候变化适应：研究文献综述

显然需要对跨学术界研究如何考虑公众参与气候变化适应进行最先进的审查：包括 1992 年在联合国环境与发展会议 (UNCED) 上制定的里约宣言公民参与和参与气候行动的明确目标（原则 10）。民族国家被赋予了特殊责任，通过确保获得信息和参与决策过程的机会来促进这些。从那时起，公众参与的需求在气候行动的呼吁中占据了突出地位。使用文本分析生成摘自 Web of Science 的摘要语料库，对自 1992 年以来公众参与和公民参与气候变化适应的文献回顾揭示了词汇、时间、和该课题研究的空间分布动态。自 2000 年以来，研究工作呈指数级增长，研究行动的重点是三个重要主题——风险、洪水风险和风险评估、感知和交流。这些都经过严格审查，并考虑了三个实质性问题：参与的悖论、治理转型的挑战以及将心理社会和行为适应气候变化纳入政策过程的必要性。当前研究的差距包括对跨学科的气候适应公众参与缺乏共识；涉及公众参与和公民参与的过程表述不完整；缺乏实证研究来检验如何理解和使用有影响力的风险概念，不同学科和利益攸关方的脆弱性和适应能力各不相同。最后，描述了解决这些差距的临时研究议程。
