“…The role of climate change responses in driving risks is not limited to unintended consequences, though: a decision-maker might very consciously accept an increased risk elsewhere as long as a climate change response delivers a solution to that decision maker's core concern. Clearer understanding and recognition of different people, populations, and ecosystems being affected by different responses, 75 including disproportionate effects, can help us better understand and characterize such risk trade-offs and the values that underpin such choices. Lastly, non-human response can also be included, such as migration of species in response to temperature change.…”

“…While climate change amplifies, exacerbates, and creates new forms of interconnected injustices and stresses, adaptation and planning processes to tackle climate breakdown in different locations can also exacerbate climate injustices if not undertaken carefully and critically (Eriksen et al, 2021;Sultana, 2018). Climate change is not a single-topic issue but is a stress multiplier.…”

“…Embracing a post‐adaptation turn in climate and development research, I started this paper by asking what possibilities – ethical, political, and otherwise – may be opened up when we engage with development “facts” as contested and contestable “matters of care.” Guided by the words of Puig de la Bellacasa (2010, 2011, 2017), I proposed a generative critique of development as care; as a strategy to overcome the impasse climate‐informed development practices “from above” currently find themselves in. In fact, while their solutions for reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing capacities for adaptation and resilience are increasingly adopted around the world, we have enough evidence to suggest that these strategies have been unable to engender transformative action towards more just and liveable futures (Eriksen et al, 2021; Nightingale et al, 2020).…”
