“…After a flooding in 2015, a local initiative to strengthen the connection between local care networks and residents was established. The event included a biannual event and allowed for processes of care to happen during which structural relationships could be re-worked and become more just ( Bond and Barth, 2020 ). Caring is incremental to sustainable and just adaptation, while current understandings of climate justice are too narrow in epistemological terms ( Bond and Barth, 2020 ).…”

This becomes problematic in cases in where analyses of SES limits the focus and underrepresent the role of justice and power ( Bond and Barth 2020 ).…”

“…We are more interested in how affects serve to shape collectives (Nightingale, 2013; Singh, 2017). Affective adaptation pushes forward recent work on the importance of emotion in adaptation and sustainability (Bond & Barth, 2020; Brown et al, 2019) by probing how affect, emotions and so‐called “inner worlds” 1 Ives et al, 2020) must not be seen as individual traits, but distinctly relational and underpinning the politics of adaptation. For us, if affects are the result of encounters between bodies, they help elucidate how emotions translate into actions.…”

Alarming rates of environmental change have catalyzed scholars to call for fundamental transformations in social-political and economic relations. Yet cautionary tales about how power and politics are constitutive of these efforts fill the literature. We show how a relational framing of adaptation and transformation demands a political, cross-scalar, and socionatural analysis to probe the affects and effects of climate change and better grasp how transformative change unfolds. We bring affect theory into conversation with the literature on adaptation politics, socio-environmental transformations, subjectivity, and our empirical work to frame our analysis around three under investigated aspects of transformation: (i) the uncertain and unpredictable relations that constitute socionatures; (ii) other ways of knowing; and (iii) the affective and emotional relations that form a basis for action. Affective adaptation represents a different ontological take on transformation by reframing the socionatural, normative and ethical aspects as relational, uncertain, and performative. This directs analytical attention to processes rather than outcomes. The emphasis on the encounter between bodies in affect theory points to the need for experiential and embodied ways of knowing climate to effect transformative change. Effective transformation requires recognizing uncertainty and unpredictability as part of transformative processes. This is not because all outcomes are acceptable, but rather because uncertainty and unpredictability are elements which help generate affects (action) and emotional commitment to shared human and more than human relations in action, projects, and policies.

“…At the countrywide scale, in a report on adaptation action across sectors, the National Adaptation Technical Working Group identified some examples of proactive adaptation action. Those identified occurred in circumstances of high exposure and large inaction costs, and typically involved investment in flood risk and coastal hazard management, and some transport and food-security projects (Bond and Barth, 2020;Cradock-Henry et al, 2020;Paulik et al, 2020).…”

Path Dependency and Future Adaptation of Coastal Cities: Examples From the Asia-Pacific

The need for Asia-Pacific coastal cities to adapt effectively and sustainably to accelerating (relative) sea-level rise is growing. If such adaptation does not occur in a timely manner, then it could result in socio-economic problems that will reverberate throughout the region. Using examples of coastal Asia-Pacific cities that are characterised by contrasting geographical settings and cultural contexts, this study argues that the main barrier to such adaptation is path dependency. In this sense, path dependency is a legacy of past decisions that have been influenced by topography, economic goals, and the cultural-political characteristics of key decision-making groups. These path dependencies manifest as various adaptation preferences, which to date have been dominated by hard engineering solutions. In an era of accelerating climate change there is now a need to seek alternatives to in-situ urban growth. This paper argues that an understanding of a city’s path dependency is key to optimizing the effectiveness of future adaptation.
