Conceptualizing Meso‐Level Organizations and Their Relations to Catalyze Transformative Climate Adaptation
Planned adaptation programs and projects typically span organizational levels. Adaptation resources are channeled through networks of actor relations, spanning macro‐level policy and finance actors to micro‐level communities and households. Although undertheorized and rarely the focus of adaptation research, a plethora of organizational actors operate between and across the macro‐ and micro‐levels, playing instrumental roles in the design, implem…
Negotiating informality and urban resilience
Informality is a distinguishing characteristic of cities in the Global South and is strongly associated with urban inequality. Yet, in pursuing resilience, urban resilience strategies and planning have yet to grapple with the role of informality in social-ecological dynamics, resulting in incomplete representations of the reality of these cities’ socioeconomic and demographic diversity. Neglect of informality has significant, but uncertain, impli…
Fostering transdisciplinary research for equitable and sustainable development pathways across Africa
The transformations required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals across the African continent demand new ways of mobilising, weaving together, and applying knowledge. Research, policymaking, planning, and action must be effectively inter-linked to address complex sustainability challenges and the different needs and interests of societal actors. Transdisciplinarity (TD) – the co-production of knowledge across disciplines and with non-aca…
Operationalising climate-resilient development pathways in the Global South
National and sub-national actors are grappling with how to urgently move from climate change commitments to widespread actions that drastically reduce the risks posed by a changing climate and greenhouse gas emissions driving this change in tandem with addressing socio-economic inequalities. A pivotal challenge is how to cohere and sequence interventions in light of competing priorities, changing risk profiles and deep structural inequalities. Id…
Private provisioning of public adaptation
Participation and marginalization in water governance
There is growing awareness that both the practice and science of participation in water governance continue to suffer from blind spots with regard to questions of power and equity. We present an analytical frame that helps explore how participatory processes initiated by water reforms can better address the needs and interests of marginalized groups. We build on recent arguments about the potential to enrich adaptive governance theory from a crit…
Advancing climate resilient development pathways since the IPCC’s fifth assessment report
Development processes and action on climate change are closely interlinked. This is recognised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its fifth assessment report, which reports on climate-resilient pathways, understood as development trajectories towards sustainable development which include adaptation and mitigation. The upcoming sixth assessment report dedicates a chapter to climate resilient development pathways. In this co…
