We study how people and institutions perceive and deal with the impact of climate change, focusing on everyday experiences and the politics of knowledge production in climate adaptation across time and space.
Exploring how adaptation responses are prompted by other drivers of change beyond climate, we show how climate governance is entangled in everyday livelihoods, politics, capitalist global economic intrusions, and wider processes of development and change. Linking past knowledge and inter-generational learning to present and future adaptation strategies, we position local communities both as foremost impacted groups and as front runners in climate adaptation responses.
Indonesia is experiencing severe problems with climate-related disasters in line with the current global situation. Hydro-meteorological disaster is the most common type of disaster in Indonesia in the last two decades, and flooding is the main feature. Therefore, flooding control is a crucial climate change adaptation agenda for Indonesia.
The indigenous Amerindian past of the Caribbean region is hidden in a vulnerable soil, which is under constant threat of natural disasters, climate change, looting and illegal trade, economic pressures, tourist development, and a lack of heritage awareness.
The threat of hurricanes, rising temperatures, and shifting rainfall patterns make the Caribbean particularly susceptible to the shocks of climate change. This research focuses on how climate change impacts agriculture, particularly the farmers who must adapt to it and related disasters.
Why do governance institutions and practices in protected areas generally fail to keep pace with ecological transitions due to climate change? Researchers from four institutes – KITLV, the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO), Wageningen University & Research and the Netherlands Institute of Advanced Study (NIAS) – will collaborate to find out.
This research proposal involves inventorying and researching the histories, practices, and uses multiple place-based agricultural calendars on Java, such as pranata mangsa. This research begins by reviewing previous literature about various agricultural calendars on Java, their origins, interactions, and how they evolve over time.
The islands and coastlines of Southeast Asia are home to Sea Nomads, including Moken/Moklen, Orang Laut, and Sama-Bajau, each with their own distinct yet related cultural identities, languages, and histories. For centuries, these groups have maintained a close relationship with the ocean, often living nomadic or semi-nomadic lives where their houseboat served as both homes and the primary means of sustenance.
Driven by the increasing public awareness of the impact of hurricanes and the devastation of coastal areas, Island(er)s at the Helm contributes to equipping (Dutch) Caribbean societies with proficient tools for confronting these challenging climatic phenomena.
This PhD research focuses on enriching refusal theory and methodology concerning ecological future-making involving more-than-human entities in Java, Indonesia.
