A systematic review of community-based volcanic risk reduction and adaptation to the compound and cascading impacts of climate change in volcanic Sids
Surging seas, rising sea levels, and sinking communities
"Understanding "Islandness
Islandness is a contested concept, not just between disciplines but also cultures, entangled with what islands, \nisland studies, and island identity are understood to be. The purpose of this article is to explore some of these \ndifferent meanings, without necessarily unifying or reconciling them, with the aim of keeping multiple \nunderstandings of islandness in creative tension. We begin by considering islandness as smallness, recognizing \nth…
Small Island Developing States in a post‐pandemic world
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have been impacted by and responded to COVID‐19 in ways that give us clues about vulnerabilities under climate change, as well as pathways to resilience. Here, we reflect on some of these experiences drawing on case study examples from the Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean SIDS, exploring how SIDS have responded to COVID‐19 and considering the potential for coping mechanisms enacted for the pandemic to sup…
Small island developing states, tourism and climate change
Tourism resembles an indispensable source for financing national development and securing local livelihoods in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) with their sun-sea-sand tourism. Related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions counteract sectoral development as climate impacts have begun to severely reduce the attractiveness of destinations. This is valid especially for disaster-prone SIDS where slow and rapid onsetting phenomena and severe, frequent w…

Collecting water
A water point was installed in 2012 as part of a biogas \ndevelopment initiative in an informal urban community \nof 200 households. The facility provides sanitation, gas \nfor cooking, and organic fertiliser. It consists of four \nlatrines and an inlet for animal waste, a fermentation \nchamber where the biogas (methane) is produced, and a \ncommunal kitchen with four stoves. The slurry byproduct \nis rendered safe by fermentation and used as \n…
Climate change and health vulnerability in informal urban settlements in the Ethiopian Rift Valley
Climate change in Ethiopia is occurring against a backdrop of rapid population growth and urbanization, entrenched poverty and a heavy burden of disease, and there is little information on specific health risks with which to approach adaptation planning and strengthen adaptive capacity. Using detailed household surveys (400 households, 1660 individuals, 100% participation) and focus groups in two informal urban communities in the Southern city of…
A Framework for Participatory Impact Assessment
Morris, J. B., V. Tassone, R. De Groot, M. Camilleri, and S. Moncada. 2011. A Framework for Participatory Impact Assessment: involving stakeholders in European policy making, a case study of land use change in Malta. Ecology and Society 16(1): 12. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-03857-160112
From Incremental to Comprehensive
The sustainability challenges faced by islands in the European Union (EU) are not well reflected in EU policy, where the approach to island issues has been incremental and fragmented. This paper identifies EU islands and their main sustainability issues, and argues for a stronger awareness of island issues in EU policy processes. It notes in particular the current restrictive definition of islands, which excludes island states, and the fact that …
