“…These power differentials may occur within communities, or be apparent in the mismatch between community perceptions and top-down approaches (Lipset 2011 ; Pascoe et al 2021 ). In some articles, this mismatch and dismissal of local worldviews or loss of culture was framed as one of the legacies of colonisation (Grant 2019 ; Wentworth 2020 ; Pascoe et al 2021 ).…”

“…For example, the influence of power differentials on reporting of risk perceptions, and the 'subtle processes through which are risks are normalised or prioritised according to social, cultural or political influences' (Ensor et al 2018(Ensor et al , p. 1139) has a significant influence on 'which risks are perceived as significant and how they are acted on' (Ensor et al 2018(Ensor et al , p. 1139). These power differentials may occur within communities, or be apparent in the mismatch between community perceptions and topdown approaches (Lipset 2011;Pascoe et al 2021).

Linking gender, climate change and security in the Pacific Islands Region: A systematic review

This systematic review aims to address gaps in understanding how concepts of gender, climate change and security are given meaning and linked in empirical scholarship within the Pacific Islands Region. The review assesses the 53 articles returned through Web of Science, SCOPUS and ProQuest databases that are derived from empirical research and refer to gender, climate change and security. The findings indicate that this is an emerging topic in a region that is one of the most vulnerable to climate change across the globe. Most frequently gender analysis is given superficial treatment; there is limited literature that connects gendered vulnerabilities to historical legacies and structural inequalities; and women’s critical roles that create security are often overlooked and devalued. The review indicates that greater work is needed to question perceived threats to security and to reveal how climate change, gendered institutions, systems and spaces, historical legacies and politics interact to construct security in the Pacific Islands Region.

“…Before the land is some meters away from the sea, but now it is like digging away the soil and the sea level is coming close…. We can see coconut trees and some other big trees are out in the sea, so that makes it like the climate is changing” (Pascoe et al, 2019, p. 4). In the Marshall Islands, Rudiak‐Gould (2014) found that while people mentioned “higher” tides, physical effects were described in terms of shoreline erosion, expressed by some as the ocean “eating” the land.…”

“…Yet local residents refer more often to the inward movement of the sea including as is evident through encroaching seawater, coastal erosion and accretion, and breached coastal barriers and river embankments (cf., Dubey et al, 2017;Gray et al, 2014;Lazrus, 2015;Rey-Valette et al, 2015).

Spatial and temporal ways of knowing sea level rise: Bringing together multiple perspectives

Sea level rise presents risks to ecosystems, populations, and infrastructure in low‐lying areas. This article considers diverse ways of knowing, understanding, and experiencing these risks. It explores differences and connections between knowledge produced through the technological methods of scientific research and that which emerges through the experiences and insights of local people. For example, while scientific assessments measure and forecast, among other things, the height and rate of vertical change in the sea level using instruments such as tide gauges and radar‐firing satellites, for local populations sea level rise is largely perceived and knowable through everyday processes and lived experiences of coastal changes as sea waters encroach onto the land. The review article reveals this diversity of knowledge and how it is produced. It considers how these different forms of knowledge might coalesce in ways that can more effectively inform understandings of, and responses to, the varied effects of sea level rise. Focusing specifically on spatial and temporal understandings of sea level rise—as the vertical rise of sea levels and inward encroachment of sea water, and timescales from the everyday to the decadal and centennial—this article concludes by arguing for the importance of integrating scientific measurement and modeling with local knowledge. It suggests that local and Indigenous knowledge should not merely represent an enrichment of scientific facts, but rather that bringing together local/Indigenous and scientific knowledge can provide significant ways of knowing and sensing the world that can build the resilience of social‐ecological systems. This article is categorized under: Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Perceptions of Climate Change
