NEW ARTICLE --> The role of colonial pasts in shaping climate futures: Adaptive capacity in Georgetown, Guyana

[Stacy-ann Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to bring your attention to a new open access article: The role of colonial pasts in shaping climate futures: Adaptive capacity in Georgetown, Guyana.

Appearing in the journal Habitat International, the article explores the colonial history of Georgetown, Guyana in the context of its vulnerability to various climate change impacts, including flooding, and demonstrates the links between the city's colonial governance and its present-day adaptive capacity.

It finds the city's adaptive capacity being influenced physically by the Dutch colonial period, and socially, politically, and economically by the British colonial period.

The article recommends reparations to right the wrong.

Please feel free to on-share with interested colleagues.

Regards,

Dr Stacy-ann Robinson
