Pioneering Spanish experience in climate shelters practice
Beyond adjustment
Ambiguity and risk narratives dominate high-level definitions of adaptation. • Current debates call for a paradigm shift in climate adaptation. • We interview 50 global experts with 950 years of combined experience. • We identify 4 narratives, 4 realisations, and 2 catalysts shaping evolving views. • We propose an adaptation heuristic framework to fit current thought and practice. Climate change adaptation is central to political and scientific a…
Connecting the present to the future
Local priorities shape the way urban adaptation to climate change is envisioned. Yet processes to capture these priorities often overlook the power dynamics behind structural vulnerabilities. Approaches to positive futures thinking that are transdisciplinary offer a way to centre local communities in the process. However, these approaches are often limited as communities struggle to conceive climate change beyond their known realities and lived e…
What is limiting how we imagine climate change adaptation
Imaginaries of adaptation are currently dominated by technocratic, homogenous, top-down approaches that hinder sustainable, just, and effective adaptation worldwide. We have identified three practices that contribute to this problem: (1) an assumption of universality in adaptation; (2) a neglect of pluralistic knowledge systems and values; and (3) an oversimplification of adaptation processes. These three practices have been found to lead to repr…
Localising the Global Goal on Adaptation through intersectional thinking
Seeking refuge? The potential of urban climate shelters to address intersecting vulnerabilities
Climate shelters are critical urban infrastructures to support adaptation to extreme weather. They offer spaces – e.g., parks, libraries, and civic centers – where residents can take refuge during episodes of extreme temperatures. With over 200 public spaces designated as “Climate Shelters”, Barcelona (Spain) serves as an emblematic example of whether these emerging spaces are meeting the needs, expectations, and everyday experiences of the most …
