<br>Abstract Open Panel 159. Social justice in Climate Adaptation Policies
<br>
<br>As the effects of climate change become increasingly manifest, policies to
<br>cope with these effects are being developed at different territorial scales.
<br>These climate adaptation policies establish a role division in terms of who
<br>has to do what, with that settling questions about which parties are included
<br>and excluded, which parties are beneficiaries, victimized and forgotten.
<br>
<br>Climate adaptation policies confront us with strong queries about social
<br>justice, necessitating critical reflection. However, while there is a lot of
<br>scholarly attention for climate mitigation policies, the justice impacts of
<br>climate adaptation policies are hardly subject of study.
<br>
<br>In this, two deeply interconnected issues are of major importance. First, as
<br>effective climate adaptation policies will have to cross territorial scales
<br>and concomitant jurisdictions, a plurality of partly overlapping communities
<br>is involved giving rise to contrastive justice claims.
<br>
<br>Second, climate adaptation policies demand new kinds of solutions, which to a
<br>large extent are informed by scientific expertise. The way these science-based
<br>activities affect matters of social justice often seem to focus mainly on the
<br>effectiveness of policies instead of their legitimacy.With its strong
<br>tradition of critical research, covering the interwoven character of
<br>scientific knowledge development, policy-making and societal impacts, STS
<br>provides a major platform to engage in discussions on social justice as they
<br>are instigated by climate adaptation policies.
<br>
<br>As such, this panel aims at authors presenting papers that relate to impacts
<br>of climate adaptation policies on social justice. Such papers could for
<br>instance focus on:
<br>
<br> * The inclusion and exclusion of specific social group in climate
<br>politics
<br> * The designation of responsibilities to actors regarding climate
<br>adaptation
<br> * Scalar politics in climate adaptation policy, as climate change issues
<br>transcend geographical, administrative, and temporal scales
<br> * The establishment of trans-local networks both in the societal and in
<br>the political realm in reaction to climate change
<br> * The conceptual and/or empirical influence of resilience studies on
<br>climate adaptation policies and the impact of social justice
<br>If you are interested in participating in our open panel, please submit your
<br>250 word abstract for an oral presentation.
