From sustainability perception to action in higher education
In the face of global sustainability challenges, society expects higher education to produce talent of the future to solve current and future problems. Little research exists on sustainability perceptions of all personnel in higher education institutions and their capacity to promote sustainability transition. This study explores sustainability perceptions among the university’s entire personnel, including faculty and staff, and how they perceive…
Connecting climate justice and adaptation planning
Considerations of justice with regards to climate change adaptation are increasingly called for in the academic literature, but little attention has been paid to the dimensions of justice regarding the development of adaptation policy and instruments used. Thus, there is a gap when it comes to connecting the dimensions of justice to different types of adaptation strategies and plans. Here, we synthesise the findings of previous studies to create …
Governance and everyday adaptations? Examining the disconnect between planned and autonomous adaptation through justice outcomes
Much of the current attention in research has focused on planned adaptation, i.e., public policy, but this overlooks the fact that human and societal responses to changes in the climate are ubiquitous.

This obscures the understanding to what extent autonomous and planned adaptation are synergistic or conflicting, resulting in maladaptive, unju…
