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.
