Adaptation dynamics
People living in climate hazard-prone regions have become regular, repeated targets of adaptation projects. These projects, modelled on development projects, make somewhat random interventions for local people: random in their objectives, timing, resources, and duration. This paper considers the question: what is the long-term reality of life in an adaptation-intensive region? Building on critical insights regarding adaptation projects’ shortcomi…
How to track progress on the Global Goal on Adaptation
In 2021, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change initiated a two-year work programme that, in part, would work to determine how to assess progress in achieving the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA). Set in the 2015 Paris Agreement, the GGA aims to “enhance[e] adaptive capacity, [strengthen] resilience, and reduc[e] vulnerability to climate change.” One possible outcome of the “GlaSS” work programme is the production of a set of gl…
A call for a sociology of adaptation
Interest in examining climate change adaptation has arisen in many disciplines in the past two decades; however to date, sociologists have given only sparse attention to the issue. This is both a missed opportunity for sociologists and a detriment to the study of adaptation. In this paper, we set out the following research agenda: bringing core concerns of sociology into the critically important conversation of how society will respond to climate…
Floating people, changing climate
Climate adaptation efforts in the Bengal Delta do not fully integrate migrants, who have moved between rural and urban spaces for decades for diverse reasons that now include the impacts of climate change. Despite the reality of mobile lives in the region, organisations implementing adaptation projects approach circular mobilities as undesirable, against ideals for development. These organisations play a crucial role in shaping how migrants as fl…
Vulnerability-based allocations in loss and damage finance
Tactical Opposition
In 1991, in meetings constructing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the small island state of Vanuatu introduced a proposal requiring wealthy countries to pay for damages related to sea level rise. More than thirty years later, countries finally agreed to establish a financing mechanism for loss and damage associated with climate change. Scholars have observed the slow progress on loss and damage finance, but what tactics…
Locally led adaptation
Locally led adaptation (LLA) has recently gained importance against top-down planning practices that often exclude the lived realities and priorities of local communities and create injustices at the local level. The promise of LLA is that adaptation would be defined, prioritised, designed, monitored, and evaluated by local communities themselves, enabling a shift in power to local stakeholders, resulting in more effective adaptation intervention…
The Ideal Delegation
In the UN climate negotiations, national delegations cannot contribute equally. Scholars have shown that 'developed' countries exert greater influence than 'developing' nations. This study examines how these inequalities between delegations materialize under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Drawing on 30 interviews and over 200 hours of observation at five UNFCCC meetings, I ask (1) how are institutional structu…
