A Chronicle of Disrupted Flows—Bordering of the Amphibious Bengal Delta
This paper examines the atmosphere of stagnation that has become characteristic of the contemporary Bengal Delta, particularly the Sundarbans. Although often framed as a climate crisis hotspot, this perspective risks naturalising a crisis that is historically produced. This paper argues that the region's present condition is rooted in its colonial past that systematically disrupted its dynamic and amphibious landscape, where seasonal floods, tide…
Climate-induced redistribution of people is not inevitable
Climate-induced redistribution of people is not inevitable, Boas, Ingrid, Sterly, Harald, Farbotko, Carol, Hulme, Mike, Benveniste, Hélène, Schewel, Kerilyn D, Bettini, Giovanni, Borderon, Marion, Hoffmann, Roman, van der Geest, Kees, Durand-Delacre, David, Selby, Jan, Wrathall, David J, Baldwin, Andrew, Benítez Cortés, Ailín, Bukari, Kaderi N, Bunchuay-Peth, Simon, Capisani, Simona, Codjoe, Samuel Nii Ardey, Dahm, Ruben, Dewan, Camelia, Dijstelb…
Food security beyond borders
Drought events can disrupt food security and increase the risk of violent conflicts. In an interconnected global food system, countries rely on both local food production and imports to meet domestic demand. When assessing the impact of drought risk on national food security, however, imported crops are often overlooked. This study incorporates international crop trade information to understand the role of crop imports in the drought risk profile…
Africa’s Great Green Mirage? Assessing the disconnect between global finance and local implementation in Africa’s Great Green Wall
The Great Green Wall of the Sahara and Sahel – also known as Africa’s Great Green Wall – aims to restore a band of land traversing the African continent south of the Sahara. Despite billions of dollars of pledges in donor funding, progress on restoration has been notoriously slow. This article explores the difficulty of translating financial pledges at the global level into local-level socioecological change. Using mixed quantitative and qualitat…
Reclaiming open climate adaptation futures
The narrative that certain areas will inevitably become uninhabitable owing to sea-level rise is powerful, yet may silence important debate about alternative climate adaptation futures. In particular, populations with low emissions and funding capacity should have their narratives centralized in adaptation
Grounding Big Data on Climate-Induced Human Mobility
How can site-based fieldwork support big-data research? We reflect on this question by sharing our experiences in combining on-site fieldwork with an existing big-data analysis using call-detail records (CDR), which detected anomalous population flows in Bangladesh during cyclone Mahasen. In the original study of the CDR, this mobility was hypothesized to reflect late evacuations from homes. We discuss how site-based fieldwork enabled us to disco…
Resilience in practice
The concept of resilience is used by many in different ways: as a scientific concept, as a guiding principle, as inspirational ‘buzzword’, or as a means to become more sustainable. Next to the academic debate on meaning and notions of resilience, the concept has been widely adopted and interpreted in policy contexts, particularly related to climate change and extreme weather events. In addition to having a positive connotation, resilience may cov…
