Nevertheless, transformational change is deemed promising, but uncertainties remain as to what activates such processes and how maladaptation outcomes can be avoided. While the science on extreme events is advancing fast, little is known about livelihood adaptation and transformation processes in the context of single or compound ocean extreme events. We identify a set of research priorities: 1) the identification of hotspot areas for coastal compound extreme events, 2) the development of bottom-up case study analysis of adaptation to extreme events, 3) the identification of constrainers and enablers to livelihood adaptation and transformation under abrupt change, and 4) directing research to contribute to climate-change policy. An effort addressing these key gaps will inform seafood-dependent livelihood adaptation policies for the 2030 Agenda and beyond. specialized 030OCECAM 032CLIMET 040PECHE 040AQUAC 61 101264 [8 ] 2023 1877-3435 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010089821 10.1016/j.cosust.2023.101264 1877-3435 [F B010089821] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010089821 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2024-05/010089821.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2024-03-04 2025-02-24 fdi:010089821 fre
