Let's get a hell yeah in the chat for this great write up of how we get more free as we adapt to climate change from @mills-novoa.bsky.social, @kimanh.bsky.social & @mmikulewicz.bsky.social

Co-authored with brilliant @kimanh.bsky.social + @mmikulewicz.bsky.social

Projects are not delivering the transformative change needed for climate change adaptation. This failure is due to the delivery of adaptation as projects. In this article, we explore real alternatives that can address the structural causes of vulnerability. DM for pdf! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're hiring in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley! Can be asst or associate level. It is an "open search" in enviro science, energy engineering OR qual/mixed-method social science. Critical social scientists of climate plz apply!

If anyone is in Detroit, we are going to be talking about @jmijin.bsky.social’s amazing book - A Just Transition for All at 4:10pm. DM for details!

9. Resistance can come at a high cost. It can be costly, fracturing and ineffective

8. Resistance is having an impact – creating material outcomes

7. The diverse goals of adaptation reflect the many imagined adaptation futures under climate change

6. Formal “participation” mechanisms can facilitate or seek to neutralize resistance

5. The state plays a critical, but not uniform role, in shaping adaptation and resistance

4. How people resist adaptation is creative and diverse

3. Resistance to adaptation initiatives often has little to do with climate change skepticism

2. It is not an anomaly, resistance spans adaptation project types, sectors, actors and geographies

1. Resistance to adaptation is likely being underreported in the peer-reviewed literature, silencing challenges and limiting our ability to learn and do better

Climate change adaptation is happening but so is resistance to these efforts. In our open-access article, @mmikulewicz.bsky.social and I look at 20 cases to understand why resistance is happening and highlight alternative visions for adaptation. We learned 9 key things. 🧵. doi.org/10.1002/wcc....

New forum in Contemporary South Asia on Threatening Dystopias with reviews by several scholars I've learned so much from (Andrea Nightingale, Ambarish Karamchedu, @mills-novoa.bsky.social, David Ludden) + my response

So honored by the chance to engage with them 🙏 www.tandfonline.com/toc/ccsa20/3...

It was time. X kept promoting Elon Musk messages. Dark days over there!
