W. Neil Adger mostly deals with Climate change, Environmental resource management, Political economy of climate change, Vulnerability and Adaptive capacity.
His research integrates issues of Risk analysis, Identity, Sense of place, Livelihood and Development economics in his study of Climate change.
His Environmental resource management research integrates issues from Ecological resilience, Ecological systems theory, Public economics, Vulnerability assessment and Social group.
As part of one scientific family, W. Neil Adger deals mainly with the area of Political economy of climate change, narrowing it down to issues related to the Environmental planning, and often Greenhouse gas and Environmental health.
His Vulnerability study combines topics in areas such as Global warming, Fish stock and Food security.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Adaptive management and Natural resource management.
His most cited work include:
- Social and ecological resilience: are they related? (2495 citations)
- Successful adaptation to climate change across scales (1912 citations)
- Social-Ecological Resilience to Coastal Disasters (1688 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Climate change, Environmental resource management, Environmental planning, Natural resource economics and Vulnerability.
His research in Climate change intersects with topics in Environmental studies and Public economics.
W. Neil Adger interconnects Ecological systems theory, Livelihood, Ecosystem services, Sustainability and Adaptive capacity in the investigation of issues within Environmental resource management.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Economic growth, Poverty and Development economics in addition to Livelihood.
Environmental planning and Environmental change are frequently intertwined in his study.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
W. Neil Adger spends much of his time researching Climate change, Ecosystem services, Environmental planning, Livelihood and Sustainability.
He is studying Adaptive capacity, which is a component of Climate change.
The various areas that W. Neil Adger examines in his Ecosystem services study include Poverty, Policy analysis and Agriculture.
His Environmental planning research focuses on Sustainable development and how it relates to Human migration, Structural inequality, Land use, land-use change and forestry and Sustainable management.
His research investigates the connection with Sustainability and areas like Complex adaptive system which intersect with concerns in Disturbance, Risk analysis, Robustness, Community engagement and Community resilience.
As a member of one scientific family, W. Neil Adger mostly works in the field of Environmental resource management, focusing on Ecological systems theory and, on occasion, Mangrove.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Building adaptive capacity to climate change in tropical coastal communities (152 citations)
- Climate as a risk factor for armed conflict (82 citations)
- Transnational corporations and the challenge of biosphere stewardship (63 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Sustainability
- Ecology
- Climate change
