Frontiers in Research on Adaptation to Climate Change

Who should attend?

All researchers are welcome from across the social sciences, humanities and environmental sciences.

What is the event about?

Adaptation has been a long standing research strength across social sciences and humanities Exeter and this workshop seeks to highlight current theories, methods and modes of research and stimulate collaboration and thinking for its next phase.

Responding to the impacts of climate change involves every sector of the economy and every sector of society – no place or no population is immune. As such, adaptation poses significant research challenges in understanding its evolution, in evaluating its impacts, and assessing its future pathways. The UK government and governments around the world are preparing for adaptation and seeking to engage with public sector, private sector and civil society actors in such processes.

Building on David Schlosberg’s visit (University of Sydney, Professor of Environmental Politics) who will elucidate international experience in Adaptation and Community Discourse: Risk, Vulnerability, and Just Transformation, as well as giving an evening HASS Lecture on environmental justice.
