A Reparative Paradigm for Thinking With Disasters
The field of disaster studies remains largely committed to a modernist spatio‐temporal imaginary that persistently emphasises the singularity of a given disaster and often fails to account for the broader set of affairs in which disasters are situated and shaped, in turn leading to circumspect, uninventive and ineffective policy outcomes. In light of these trends, we argue for a paradigm shift in disaster research. In this commentary, we aim to a…
From rigidity traps towards reparative disaster governance and management
In this current wildfire crisis, acknowledge widespread suffering
With climate change causing more extreme weather events globally, climate scientists have argued that societies have three options: mitigation, adaptation or suffering. In recent years, devastating wildfires have caused significant suffering, yet the extent of this suffering has not been defined. To encapsulate this suffering, we determined impacts and effects of extreme wildfires through two systematic literature reviews. Six common themes of wi…
Connecting wildfire risk reduction and land stewardship
Wildfire management is becoming an increasingly complex issue that requires collaboration of diverse sectors. In addition, it is important to empower local communities to contribute to the decision-making processes. Social learning (individuals changing their understanding of an issue and furthering relationships) is a key ingredient in transdisciplinary collaborations aiming at complex social-ecological systems change. However, few studies in wi…
Uplifting local ecological knowledge as part of adaptation pathways to wildfire risk reduction
Living with wildfires in an era of climate change requires adaptation and weaving together many forms of knowledge. Empirical evidence of knowledge co-production in wildfire management is lacking in Mediterranean European areas. We explored how local ecological knowledge can be leveraged to reduce wildfire risk through an adaptation pathways process in the Montseny massif and wider Tordera River watershed of Catalonia, Spain: an area stewarded th…
