  • Valuing a values-based approach for assessing loss and damage

    Douwe van Schie, Karen Elizabeth Mcnamara et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2024

    Anthropogenic climate change is causing widespread losses and damages to what people value. To date, non-economic loss and damage assessments are commonly guided by predefined ‘types’ of non-economic losses, similar to those proposed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Instead, we draw from studies conducted in Bangladesh and Fiji to emphasize the benefits of a values-based assessment approach to gain a context-sensitive…

  • Partial planned relocation and livelihoods: Learnings from Narikoso, Fiji

    Open AccessMerewalesi Yee, Celia Mcmichael et al.ARTICLEAsia Pacific Viewpoint2024Cited by: 1References: 23

    Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are vulnerable to climate change impacts, including sea level rise, extreme weather events and other environmental changes. Planned relocation can be an adaptive response to climatic threats. In Fiji, six communities have already relocated. While there is growing interest in planned relocation, there are few empirical case studies from which to learn. Narikoso village, in the Kadavu Province of Fiji, undertook part…

  • Navigating tensions in climate change-related planned relocation

    Open AccessGiovanna Antonella Gini, Annah Piggott-Mckellar et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024Cited by: 1References: 8

    The planned relocation of communities away from areas of climate-related risk has emerged as a critical strategy to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Empirical examples from around the world show, however, that such relocations often lead to poor outcomes for affected communities. To address this challenge, and contribute to developing guidelines for just and sustainable relocation processes, this paper calls attention to three fundamental …

  • Guiding our responses to climate change by what people value: Insights from Fiji

    Open AccessMoleen Monita Nand, Rachel Clissold et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2024Cited by: 1References: 7

    Pacific Island countries are experiencing and responding to significant and multiple climate change impacts. However, very few studies have examined how these climate change impacts affect what people value and how this then affects how people respond to these impacts. This study explores what people value and how climate change affects these values, and identifies values-based ways of addressing loss and damage. We draw on in-depth interviews wi…
