Ecofeminism
Ecofeminism is both an ideology and a movement with historical roots in intellectual inquiry and political activism that makes connections between environmentalism, gender equality, and social injustice. By linking environmentalism and gender equality, ecofeminism relates the oppression of marginalized groups (e.g., women, those who are poor, communities of color, LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities) to the exploitation of nature (e.g., anim…
Racialized downgrading and upgrading
Dis/articulation offers critical insight into exclusionary practices embedded in global commodity chains. In Fiji, powerful actors engage in dis/articulation strategies to limit access to kava consumption domestically while ensuring its availability to Western audiences. Repurposing colonial rhetoric associated with Fijian kava consumption, state officials and lead firms portray kava as over-consumed, unhealthy and harmful in relation to Indigeno…
Climate change adaptation, gender, and mainstreaming
Climate change has elucidated already existing gender inequalities associated with unequal access to resources, decision-making processes, and higher exposure to environmental shocks and stressors. The policy perspective of gender equality is universalized, but how it transcribes in local climate change adaptation projects remains elusive. Using the relocation of Vunidogoloa, Fiji, this article explores the tension and compatibility between the w…
The US Blue New Deal
The ocean and coasts are largely absent from the 'Green New Deal' proposal. In response to the limited attention paid to the sustainability and equitable governance approaches of the blue economy, a US 'Blue New Deal' has been proposed aiming to protect the health of the ocean and support coastal communities' adaptation to climate change. The Blue New Deal emerged as a central policy proposal from 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth …
Beyond maladaptation
Around the world adaptation projects are being implemented, with the hope of essentially climate proofing communities. While there is an abundance of failed adaptation schemes in developing and developed countries alike, there has been little scholarship on this problem. Through interviews with twenty-two climate change adaptation practitioners, we identify four structural challenges that contribute to maladaptation: the focus on technological fi…
Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds
This informative book moves the field of religion and ecology in significant ways into dialogue with climate studies around the world.What the contributors present here is local knowledge that has global implications for our shared planetary future
The role of power in community participation
As the impacts of climate change intensify, potential relocation is becoming more of a reality for coastal communities throughout the world. This is furthering the demand for the implementation of governance relocation frameworks. In order to stay true to the principles of environmental justice while at the same time ensuring an effective policy that meets the needs and wants of affected communities, an adaptive relocation framework requires coll…
The Impact of Faith-Based Narratives on Climate Change Adaptation in Narikoso, Fiji
Most research on climate change in South Pacific island communities has privileged people’s observations of physical environmental change with less attention paid to how people interpret the causes of these changes. Increasingly, more studies are focusing on how communities are receiving messages about environmental degradation, and from whom they are receiving them. This case study draws upon ethnographic research conducted in November 2015 in N…
Relocation as an Adaptation to Sea-Level Rise
Relocation as an adaptation strategy to coastal degradation remains on the fringes of climate change discourse. Yet, as sea levels are projected to rise, relocating is an inevitable response for vulnerable coastal communities worldwide. In fact, some Fijian villages are facing such severe coastal erosion that they have already begun the process of shifting to higher ground, and many more villages throughout the islands have been slated for reloca…
