Tribal consultation in environmental and land-use planning: Lessons from planners and tribal leaders
Growing Adaptability Among Undocumented Communities During Climate-Induced Disasters: An Analysis of the Role of Migrant-Serving Organizations
This research explores the conditions and contexts that make undocumented communities uniquely vulnerable to climate-induced disasters, as well as the role of migrant-serving organizations (MSOs) in supporting them throughout these events. We apply the framework of adaptive governance to examine how climate change has forced MSOs, including those without previous disaster-related experience, to become disaster experts, advocates, and direct aid p…
The Emergence of Environmental Justice in General Plans: Lessons From California's Senate Bill 1000
At the center of demands for cleaner air, water, and soil in communities disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards, are often cities and counties. Local jurisdictions are uniquely positioned to shape policies and engage with residents in processes that can transform land-use patterns that have negatively impacted low-income, people of color communities. This study assesses the approaches to environmental justice (EJ) that California lo…

Queer and present danger: Understanding the disparate impacts of disasters on LGBTQ+ communities
LGBTQ+ communities comprise 16 million individuals in the United States, yet this population is often rendered invisible within disaster policies. Bias in federal disaster response programmes, a lack of recognition of LGBTQ+ families, and the prevalence of faith-based organisations in disaster relief services together heighten the risks that LGBTQ+ individuals face. This paper describes the ways in which this reality combines with the contextual …
The (in)visible victims of disaster: Understanding the vulnerability of undocumented Latino/a and indigenous immigrants
Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review
The varied effects of recent extreme weather events around the world exemplify the uneven impacts of climate change on populations, even within relatively small geographic regions. Differential human vulnerability to environmental hazards results from a range of social, economic, historical, and political factors, all of which operate at multiple scales. While adaptation to climate change has been the dominant focus of policy and research agendas…
