Habitability of low-lying socio-ecological systems under a changing climate

Climatic Change, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 177(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Abstract Climate change will push the planet worryingly close to its boundaries, across all latitudes and levels of development. One question therefore is extent which climate does (and will) severely affect societies’ livelihoods, health, well-being, cultures. This paper discusses “severe risks” concept developed under Working Group II’s contribution Fifth Sixth Assessment Reports Intergovernmental Panel on Change (IPCC, AR5, AR6). Focusing low-lying coastal socio-ecological systems (LCS) acknowledging that attempts define “severe” risk have been problematic at level global syntheses, we argue for a more place- people-based framing relating “habitability changing climate.” We summarize habitability in terms five pillars: land, freshwater, food, settlement infrastructure, economic subsistence activities; acknowledge social cultural factors (including perceptions, values, governance arrangements, human agency, power structures) as critical underlying rather than separate pillars. further develop examine future health three “hotspot” archetypes (arctic coasts, atoll islands, densely populated urban areas). Building IPCC AR6 severe risks, discuss key parameters describing risks LCS: point irreversibility changes, physical thresholds , cascading effects various dimensions. also highlight variability conditions both between within each them. Further work should consist refining case study find right balance capturing context-specificities through real-world local studies commonalities derived from generic archetypes. In addition, there need identify appropriate methods assess thus habitability.

Climate-induced migration in the Global South: an in depth analysis

npj Climate Action, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(1)

Опубликована: Июнь 14, 2024

Abstract Scientists predict ongoing global climate change to trigger adverse events affecting about 143 million people in the Global South by 2050, leading various forms of migration and mobility. While existing literature extensively examines climate-induced migration, there is a lack studies considering compounding impacts multiple hazards on mobility, immobility. To address this gap, we conducted systematic review explore how stressors, specifically rising temperatures, water stress droughts, floods sea-level rise, have affected populations South, voluntary and/or forced migration. Our findings show that these stressors displaced profoundly impacted millions people, resulting both internal transboundary Climate-induced often through indirect pathways influenced intervening institutional, political, socio-economic factors programmatic policy gaps. Effectively addressing challenges related necessitates adaptation strategies adequately consider while recognizing their differential effects socio-demographic groups. We argue support from North countries, including compensation for loss damage, along with continued institutional financial international non-governmental organizations, crucial managing South. Without proper planning adequate resources, may escalate significantly impact human security. The study can inform policies assist experts identifying intervention mechanisms opportunities people-centered solutions.

Understanding and responding to climate-driven non-economic loss and damage in the Pacific Islands

Climate Risk Management, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 33, С. 100336 - 100336

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2021

Communities throughout the Pacific Islands region have experienced, and will continue to experience, extensive non-economic loss damage (NELD) from climate change. Assessments of damage, however, often fall short on their coverage these dimensions, which can distort our understanding change impacts, discount experiences some skew future decision-making. This paper explores how stakeholders in understand NELD what they perceive be best ways responding it. An open-ended questionnaire was used collect qualitative quantitative data representatives governments, donors development partners, civil society, intergovernmental organisations, relevant others. study found that is understood, perceived experienced through lens intangible values, identity cultural landscapes, this encapsulated by a typology with eight interconnected core dimensions. These dimensions include: health wellbeing, being, sites sacred places, Indigenous local knowledge, life sustaining tools, biodiversity ecosystem services, connection land sea. complex, entangled interconnected, thereby significantly undermining entire socio-ecological systems.

Evaluating migration as successful adaptation to climate change: Trade-offs in well-being, equity, and sustainability

One Earth, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 6(6), С. 620 - 631

Опубликована: Июнь 1, 2023

The role of migration as one potential adaptation to climate change is increasingly recognized, but little known about whether constitutes successful adaptation, under what conditions, and for whom. Based on a review emerging science, we propose that if it increases well-being, reduces inequality, promotes sustainability. Well-being, equity, sustainability represent entry points identifying trade-offs within across different social temporal scales could potentially undermine the success adaptation. We show assessment at various requires incorporation consequences such loss population in source areas, risk destination, material non-material flows economic synergies between destination. These dynamics evaluation criteria can help make visible tractable policy an effective option.

‘My appetite and mind would go’: Inuit perceptions of (im)mobility and wellbeing loss under climate change across Inuit Nunangat in the Canadian Arctic

Опубликована: Фев. 16, 2024

Abstract The academic literature on personal experiences of climate-induced wellbeing erosion (often conceptualised as ‘non-economic losses and damages’) is still limited. This represents a serious climate policy gap that hinders support for marginalised people across the world including Indigenous People. Lately, we have seen rapid growth in empirical studies exploring linkages between change mental health among Inuit Canada. However, its association with human (im)mobility remains unexplored. review article brings together evidence perceptions climate-related loss while providing guidance appropriate action. systematic investigates how Arctic Canada felt climatic changes impacted their putting these feelings into wider context colonial violence, forced child removal, residential schools, other rights abuses. Twelve electronic databases (four specific to research) were searched English French, peer reviewed, qualitative published 2000 2021. Fifteen selected articles analysed using NVivo thematic narrative analysis from climate-violence-health nexus systems approach. Three overarching themes, all strongly intertwined immobility, emerged namely ‘identity cultural loss’, ‘land connection source healing’, ‘changing environment triggering emotional distress’. narratives circled around land temporary interrupted this relationship. Climatic isolated away cut off ability partake activities. eroded wellbeing, expressed through distress, anxiety, depression, social tension, suicide ideation deep loss. findings showed depend sustained land. Further research People or nomadic groups involuntary immobility urgently needed.
