Drought and precipitation variability are the most prevalent hazards in the adaptation literature, particularly in the context of food and livelihood security. Adaptation frequently occurs in response to specific rapid or slow-onset physical events that can have adverse impacts on people. In some cases, people adapt in anticipation of climate change in general or to take advantage of new opportunities created by hazards (e.g., increased navigability due to melting sea ice). There is evidence that prior experience with hazards increases adaptation response ( [[#Barreca--2015|Barreca et al., 2015]] ). Following drought and precipitation variability, the next specific hazards that are most frequently documented in the global adaptation literature are heat and flooding. Heat, while less salient, appears to be a driver of adaptation across all regions and sectors (Stone Jr et al., 2014; [[#Hintz--2018|Hintz et al., 2018]] ; [[#Nunfam--2018|Nunfam et al., 2018]] ). Drought, extreme precipitation, and inland flooding are commonly reported in the context of water and sanitation ( [[#Bauer--2015|Bauer and Steurer, 2015]] ; [[#Lindsay--2018|Lindsay, 2018]] ; [[#Kirchhoff--2019|Kirchhoff and Watson, 2019]] ; [[#Hunter--2020|Hunter et al., 2020]] ; [[#Simpson--2020|Simpson et al., 2020]] ). Flooding is frequently reported as a key hazard for adaptation in cities, followed by drought, precipitation variability, heat, and SLR ( [[#Broto--2013|Broto and Bulkeley, 2013]] ; [[#Araos--2016|Araos et al., 2016]] ; [[#Georgeson--2016|Georgeson et al., 2016]] ; [[#Mees--2017|Mees, 2017]] ; [[#Reckien--2018|Reckien et al., 2018]] ; [[#Hunter--2020|Hunter et al., 2020]] ).
