“…El desplazamiento climático implica el abandono transitorio o definitivo del lugar de residencia y la reinstalación en un lugar diferente que puede ir, desde distancias relativamente cercanas al lugar de origen, hasta el cruce de fronteras (Yamamoto, Serraglio, & Cavedon-Capdeville, 2018). En muchos casos esto genera una restructuración familiar que consiste en la redistribución de tareas en el hogar y la redefinición de roles, generando cambios en las actividades productivas, hábitos y prácticas (Amar-Amar et al, 2016;Amar-Amar et al, 2014).…”

“…Desde un plano institucional, el desplazamiento climático se traduce en la ausencia de un aparato socio-administrativo capaz de minimizar los costos sociales de esta movilidad humana, que conlleva a una gestión improvisada de la atención humanitaria debido a la ausencia de políticas que atiendan a la dinámica migratoria y sus impactos sobre los territorios (Amar-Amar et al, 2014;Yamamoto et al, 2018). Esto último se relaciona con una incorporación de baja intensidad y alta gradualidad en la formulación de políticas de cambio climático, por ejemplo, en América Latina, donde a pesar de no encontrarse una fuerte oposición a la agenda climática, las decisiones se toman ante la coyuntura de eventos de impacto nacional o a condiciones de oportunidad económica (Ryan, 2017).…”

“…Respecto a la distribución de responsabilidades en el hogar, es un aspecto poco atendido, pero una realidad presente en cualquiera de las tres situaciones (desplazamiento, reasentamiento o retorno). Muchas veces los adolescentes en su rol de hermanos o primos mayores, deben asumir el cuidado de los más pequeños (Pedone, 2006), mientras los adultos salen a buscar recursos, a distancias lejanas que llegan incluso más allá de las fronteras (Amar-Amar et al, 2012), situación que también se ha encontrado en otros casos de migración climática (Yamamoto et al, 2018). Así, los adolescentes cuidadores deben permanecer jornadas enteras con los más pequeños y muchas veces, ni los unos, ni los otros, asisten a la escuela.…”

Las prácticas de cuidado se ven afectadas por los dramáticos cambios a los que se enfrentan las familias en situación de desplazamiento, traduciéndose en la ruptura o transformación repentina de la cotidianidad. En ese sentido, el proyecto que se presenta, buscó conocer los retos en materia de cuidado infantil tras la ola invernal de 2010-2011, tomando como caso de estudio, las comunidades afectadas en el sur del departamento del Atlántico en Colombia.Palabras clave: Estrategias de adaptación, cuidado, desplazamiento climático.ABSTRACT. Climate displacement may be challenging to child development, since strategies adopted by families and communities, as well as those public initiatives and measures in order to ensure survival in this new order, are not always oriented to infants' full development. Care practices are affected by the dramatic changes faced by displaced families, resulting in a sudden rupture or transformation in everyday life. In this regard, the following project seeks to identify the challenges in terms of care after the 2010-2011 rainy season, taking as its point of reference the case of the communities affected in the South of the department of Atlántico in Colombia. RESUMO.As mudanças climáticas podem constituir um agravamento para o desenvolvimento infantil, dado que as estratégias adotadas pelas famílias e comunidade, assim como as iniciativas e medidas institucionais para garantir a sobrevivência nesta nova ordem, nem sempre são adequadas ao desenvolvimento integral das crianças. As práticas de cuidados são afetadas pelas mudanças dramáticas enfrentadas pelas famílias em situações de deslocamento, resultando na quebra repentina ou transformação da vida cotidiana. Neste sentido, o projeto apresentado, procurou conhecer os desafios da assistência à infância após o inverno de 2010-2011, tomando como estudo de caso, as comunidades afetadas no sul do departamento do Atlântico na Colômbia.

“…This article presents a surrogate framework to identify important facets of social resilience indicators, and the operationalization of the framework to assess a sample social resilience indicator in southeastern coastal Sri Lanka-mobility of people in the disaster context. The mobility of people in this article is defined as an aspect of movement of people individually or collectively in a disaster situation through available means such as transport facilities (Yamamoto et al 2018). The potential surrogates explored in this study can capture a relatively comprehensive picture of the target indicator and also offer a uniform approach for understanding and identifying surrogates.…”

Understanding social resilience can assist in the formulation of disaster management policies to help communities better prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. However, direct social resilience measurement methods such as household surveys are not always a practical option as they are a time-and resource-exhaustive process. Existing measures mainly utilize publicly available census data, which often provide a poor and outdated assessment of current social resilience status. Another limitation includes a failure to capture multiple facets of indicators that are process-oriented and dynamic in nature such as mobility of people. These challenges can be addressed by employing a surrogate approach. Surrogates are alternative measures to depict the target indicator. The surrogate approach can capture key facets of a target indicator, which can be used as potential measures for the target indicator. A framework to conceptualize the surrogate approach is presented, and operationalized using a case study approach on the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka to identify surrogates to measure mobility of people as a resilience indicator. Six higher-order themes were identified as potential surrogates to measure mobility of people in a disaster context. The approach proposed to methodically identify potential surrogates and their measurement protocols can help to improve the current knowledge base and understanding of complex interrelationships of social resilience.

Tropical Dry Forest Diversity, Climatic Response, and Resilience in a Changing Climate

Central and South America tropical dry forest (TDF) is a water-limited biome with a high number of endemic species and numerous ecosystem services which has experienced a boom in research in the last decade. Although the number of case studies across these seasonal, water-limited, tropical forests has increased, there has not been a comprehensive review to assess the physiological variability of this biome across the continent and assess how these forests respond to climatic variables. Additionally, understanding forest change and resilience under climatic variability, currently and in the future, is essential for assessing the future extent and health of forests in the future. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a literature review on the variability of TDF diversity and structure across a latitudinal gradient and to assess how these components respond to differences in climatic variables across this geographic area. We first assess the current state of understanding of the structure, biomass, phenological cycles, and successional stages across the latitudinal gradient. We subsequently review the response of these five areas to differences in precipitation, temperature, and extreme weather events, such as droughts and hurricanes. We find that there is a range of adaptability to precipitation, with many areas exhibiting drought tolerance except under the most extreme circumstances, while being susceptible to damage from increased extreme precipitation events. Finally, we use this climatic response to provide a commentary on the projected resilience of TDFs under climatic changes, finding a likelihood of resilience under drying scenarios, although model projections do not agree on the magnitude or direction of precipitation change. This review of quantitative studies will provide more concrete details on the current diversity that encompasses the TDF, the natural climatic ranges under which this ecosystem can survive and thrive, and can help inform future forest management practices under climate change scenarios.
