Throughout the past two decades, the number of studies examining the adaptive capacity of Arctic communities in the context of climate change has been increasing; however, little is known about Arctic communities’ ability to adapt to certain emerging changes, such as increased shipping activity. To address this knowledge gap, this study systematically analyses published scientific articles on community adaptive capacity in circumpolar Arctic, including articles published in Russian which may not be captured in English-only reviews. Throughout this review, the study focuses on three areas: the development of the adaptive capacity framework; the conditions that enable community adaption abilities; and the extent to which shipping developments are addressed in the literature. This study demonstrates that the adaptive capacity framework has been significantly developed both theoretically and methodologically and is broadly used to address new types of climatic and non-climatic changes. Though the impacts from the shipping development are discussed in some studies, there is a clear need for further examination of coastal communities’ ability to adapt to such changes. Additionally, the study reveals limitations in the application of the Western conceptual terminology when exploring community-based research by Russian scholars.

气候变化和航运增长背景下北极社区的适应能力：俄罗斯和西方文献综述

在过去的二十年中，研究北极社区在气候变化背景下的适应能力的研究数量一直在增加；然而，人们对北极社区适应某些新兴变化的能力知之甚少，例如航运活动的增加。为了解决这一知识差距，本研究系统地分析了已发表的关于环北极地区社区适应能力的科学文章，包括以俄语发表的文章，这些文章可能无法在纯英文评论中捕捉到。在整个审查过程中，研究集中在三个领域：适应能力框架的发展；具备社区适应能力的条件；以及文献中涉及航运发展的程度。本研究表明，适应能力框架在理论和方法上都得到了显着发展，并被广泛用于应对新型气候和非气候变化。尽管在一些研究中讨论了航运发展的影响，但显然需要进一步检查沿海社区适应这种变化的能力。此外，该研究揭示了俄罗斯学者在探索基于社区的研究时应用西方概念术语的局限性。显然需要进一步审查沿海社区适应这种变化的能力。此外，该研究揭示了俄罗斯学者在探索基于社区的研究时应用西方概念术语的局限性。显然需要进一步审查沿海社区适应这种变化的能力。此外，该研究揭示了俄罗斯学者在探索基于社区的研究时应用西方概念术语的局限性。
