Rather than providing a new fixed definition, we offer a tool to help researchers and practitioners navigate the competing understandings of adaptation across contexts and scales. 🗺️

We propose a new heuristic framework that sees adaptation as a dynamic process that integrates risk reduction into broader development efforts to ensure the universal right to survival, while acknowledging its complexity, power dynamics, psychosocial dimensions, and limits. 🔥

Over 36 hours of recordings and 736 pages of transcripts, we trace the narratives, realisations, and catalysts that have shaped adaptation thought and practice over time. 💫

After 3 decades of research and practice, high-level definitions of adaptation still fall short of capturing its complexity🤯
In this paper, we draw from 50 in-depth interviews with leading global experts with 950 years of combined experience to reconceptualise adaptation beyond static definitions. 🙌

This article is so well-aligned with my views that it feels like I’ve written it myself.

“A more colour-blind society is, scientifically, a more racist one.

We’re not children any more. And it is silly to believe of a problem as large and as powerful as racism that, if we ignore it, it will just go away”

www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Are we a racist society? The majority of us say no – but science begs to differ

Although greater awareness of prejudice would suggest we are less bigoted than ever, empirical evidence indicates not

As of Jan 10, the richest 1% had burned through their share of the annual global carbon budget.
In stark contrast, it would take someone from the poorest half of the global population nearly three years (1022 days) to use up their share.

Es ist erschreckend zu sehen, wie der Widerstand gegen #Diversität, #Chancengleichheit und #Inklusion (DEI) in den #USA zunimmt. Dass große Unternehmen wie #McDonald’s, #Walmart oder #Ford ihre DEI-Bemühungen zurückschrauben, zeigt, wie polarisiert diese Grundwerte sind.

Watching Al Jazeera report 2024 as the hottest year ever, I saw a WMO rep say we’re ‘starting to have to adapt.’ Starting?! Communities have been ‘having to adapt’ for decades! The real issue now: we’re facing the harsh truth of adaptation limits and loss & damage.
