Re: New open access article - Climate adaptation institutional arrangements in Atlantic and Indian Ocean SIDS

[Stacy-ann Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

I hope you are well.

My recent co-authored article - The dynamics of institutional arrangements for climate change adaptation in small island developing states in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans - may be of interest to you or colleagues.

Appearing open access in the journal Sustainability Science, the article uses semi-structured interview data to construct "networks of action situations". 

It finds that there are a few strategic actors (e.g. EU, The Nature Conservancy, World Bank) involved in multiple, mutually-reinforcing and sometimes conflicting arrangements, which are simultaneously being shaped and reshaped at different scales.

It also finds varying patterns of power, politics and participation that act as both drivers of and barriers to adaptation in these countries.

Regards,
