Climate-compounded health effects and social justice intersections in regional, rural and remote Australia
This scoping review examines current academic literature that identifies how climate change (climate variability and extreme weather events) is impacting marginalised communities’ health and wellbeing in regional, rural, and remote (RRR) Australia. Specifically, this review examines socio-demographic sub-group differences (e.g. age, gender, disabilities, culturally or racially marginalised) of those affected by climate change and identifies how t…
Accounting for Culture in Evaluations of Climate-Induced Noneconomic Losses and Damages
Many Indigenous societies have effective resilience strategies that have served them well for centuries. These strategies have enabled generations of people to cope with, adapt, and overcome diverse forms of adversity. For many semi-subsistence-based societies, climate change poses a different threat; one that has rendered some traditional adaptation pathways partially ineffective as natural resources have become less abundant and natural systems…
Traditional knowledge for climate resilience in the Pacific Islands
Pacific Islands, many relatively remote and small, have been occupied by people for more than 3000 years during which time they experienced climate‐driven environmental changes (both slow and rapid onset) that challenged human survival and led to the evolution of place‐based coping strategies expressed through traditional knowledge (TK). In today's globalized Pacific Islands region, into which western worldviews and global adaptation strategies h…
"Investigating the "Thief in the Night
Across the Republic of Fiji, the combination of slow onset climate change and extreme weather events continues to wreak havoc. In addition to direct damages sustained from climate impacts, the uncertainties associated with changes to natural systems in combination with depletion of natural resources and declines in biodiversity provide substantial challenges for Indigenous cultures and rural semi-subsistence livelihoods. Consequently, the concept…
Transitions and Intersections between Communalism and Possessive Individualism in Rural Fiji
Indigenous Fijian traditions that are embedded within rural traditions of the vakavanua and the moral economy are often cited as exemplars of social protection and social resilience by the wider climate adaptation community. Recent ethnographic studies have, however, highlighted tensions created by the capitalist cash economy, which promotes individualism over other forms of engagement in the market. Accordingly, this article aims to examine thes…
Barriers to market for subsistence farmers in Fiji – A gendered perspective
A multi-scalar, mixed methods framework for assessing rural communities’ capacity for resilience, adaptation, and transformation
Resilience as a concept is often applied to address disaster risks and impacts. Metrics developed to measure the resilience of a community are often not applicable to other communities. In order for metrics to have utility and provide meaningful information to decision-makers, they need to be embedded within local contexts, be integrated across spatial scales, and address the community’s capacity for adaptation and transformation, in addition to …
Food security, remoteness and consolidation of supermarket distribution centres
There is a clear association between food prices, affordability and issues of food security. Australian food supply chains have lengthened in recent years in response to consolidation policies of the dominant supermarkets, which have reduced the number of distribution centres in order to maximise economic efficiencies. This study presents a spatial analysis of a healthy food basket survey undertaken across Queensland, Australia in order to identi…
