Navigating the temporalities of place in climate adaptation: Case studies from the US [Chapter 2]

Abstract

Current trajectories of global climate change call for a dramatic rethinking of the ways in which human communities navigate their relationships with each other and the natural world. In lieu of global mitigation efforts, communities, governments and other resource managers around the world are consequently being forced to adapt their livelihoods, values and practices to a rapidly changing climate. As scholars increasingly recognise, responding to the impact of dramatic changes across scales, landscapes and communities requires substantial collaboration, and many have identified ‘place’ as a potentially powerful collaborative tool for aiding stakeholders in navigating the global challenge of climate adaptation (e.g. Masterson et al., 2019; Chapin and Knapp, 2015; MacGillivray and Franklin, 2015; Wilbanks, 2015; Devine-Wright, 2013; Fresque-Baxter and Armitage, 2012.
