The concept of limits to adaptation is dynamic in terms of the temporal, spatial and contextual dimensions of climate change risks, impacts and responses . Adaptation limits depend on a complex function of interactions between social, ecological, technological and climatic elements, which appear to have thresholds beyond which adaptation can be infeasible and represent limits to adaptation. Such thresholds are endogenous to society and hence contingent on ethics, knowledge, attitudes, culture, governance, institutions and policies . Since AR5, the evidence on limits to adaptation has been advanced across regions and sectors. Many adaptation constraints  lead to soft adaptation limits . The ability of actors to overcome these constraints including social constraints to behavioural changes, depends on additional adaptation implementation. . Thus, socioeconomic, technological, governance and institutional systems or policies can be changed or transformed in responses to the different dimension of adaptation limits to climate change and extreme events.
