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. This article is categorized under:Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change > Institutions for AdaptationPolicy and Governance > Governing Climate Change in Communities, Cities, and Regions.
1992年联合国环境与发展会议（UNCED）制定的《里约宣言》包含了公民参与和参与气候行动的明确目标（原则10）。各民族国家被赋予特殊责任，通过确保获取信息和参与决策过程的机会来促进这些目标的实现。从那时起，公众参与的必要性在应对气候行动的呼吁中一直占据突出地位。利用文本分析从《科学引文索引》中生成一个摘要语料库，对1992年以来纳入公众参与和公民参与气候变化适应的文献进行综述，揭示了该主题研究的词汇、时间和空间分布动态。研究表明，自2000年以来研究力度呈指数级增长，研究行动的重点集中在三个主要主题——风险、洪水风险以及风险评估、认知和沟通。对这些主题进行了批判性综述，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在政策过程中纳入心理社会和行为层面气候变化适应的必要性。当前研究的不足包括跨学科对公众参与气候适应缺乏共识；对涉及公众参与和公民参与的过程阐述不完整；以及缺乏实证研究来考察不同学科和利益相关者对风险、脆弱性和适应能力等有影响力概念的理解和使用情况如何不同。最后，描述了一个弥补这些不足的初步研究议程。本文分类如下：气候变化的脆弱性与适应>适应机构；政策与治理>社区、城市和地区的气候变化治理。
