Accentuating Climate Change Adaptation and Vulnerability (CCAV) Challenges

Le résumé fourni par la source

This analysis explores the intricate landscape of climate change adaptation, underscoring the necessity of crafting strategies that address vulnerabilities within diverse socio-political contexts. It highlights that vulnerabilities are not solely the result of environmental hazards but are profoundly intertwined with societal and economic structures, adversely affecting marginalised communities. Factors such as adaptation capacity, exposure, and sensitivity significantly influence how vulnerable communities are to climate change impacts. The chapter also examines spatial violence as a crucial framework for understanding how adaptation measures can sometimes cause harm, including forced evictions and urban policies that displace the most vulnerable populations. Addressing climate change adaptation and vulnerability (CCAV) challenges necessitates a multifaceted approach that considers technical, financial, social, and institutional factors. Through case studies in regions like Small Island Developing States, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia, the chapter showcases the unique adaptation challenges in different settings, stressing the importance of context-sensitive and inclusive strategies to bolster resilience and promote climate justice.
