Exploring the climate change, infrastructure, health nexus and everyday adaptation among vulnerable populations
Despite the strong relationship between climate change, infrastructure, and health outcomes, the impacts of climate change on infrastructure and on health are commonly studied separately. The current study addresses this gap by examining the pathways through which critical infrastructures impact climate-related health risks among vulnerable individuals and the everyday adaptation practices they adopt in response. Data from ten focus groups (n = 6…
Centering Communities in Conservation through Asset-Based Quality of Life Planning
Healthy environments are fundamental to the quality of life of communities worldwide. Yet, many efforts to integrate environmental conservation with human well-being have struggled to center local people or failed to be flexible enough to accommodate a diversity of priorities. We present a methodology for community engagement known as Quality of Life (QoL) Planning—a form of rapid assessment, reflection, and consensus-building rooted in community…
I don't do it for the money, I do it for the kids’
This study investigated social interactions between students and school foodservice staff in six US school districts. Qualitative data was analysed from 23 in‐depth interviews with school foodservice managers and 17 focus groups in five high schools, seven middle schools and five elementary schools. Applying the lens of school connectedness, findings highlight the various forms of care experienced by students and staff. However, structural constr…
Beyond the Shadow State
The public–private food assistance system (PPFAS) emerged during the 1970s to address “emergency” food needs and has since grown into a regularized social welfare system of grocery and meal provision and related program delivery, realized through the collective efforts of organizations and individuals. We explore the context, history, and organization of the PPFAS to better understand how and why public and private actors work together to provide…
Understanding the Use of Ecosystem Service Knowledge in Decision Making
The limited understanding of how ecosystem service knowledge (ESK) is used in decision making constrains our ability to learn from, replicate, and convey success stories. We explore use of ESK in decision making in three international cases: national coastal planning in Belize; regional marine spatial planning on Vancouver Island, Canada; and regional land-use planning on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Decision makers, scientists, and stakeholders c…
Assessing habitat risk from human activities to inform coastal and marine spatial planning
Integrated coastal and ocean management requires transparent and accessible approaches for understanding the influence of human activities on marine environments. Here we introduce a model for assessing the combined risk to habitats from multiple ocean uses. We apply the model to coral reefs, mangrove forests and seagrass beds in Belize to inform the design of the country’s first Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Plan. Based on extensive …
