CfP: Special Issue on "Ethics of Climate Adaptation"
*** apologies for cross-posting *** <br> <br> <br> <br>Special Issue in Sustainability: Ethics of Climate Adaptation <br> <br> <br> <br>It is now widely accepted by climate scientists that climate change requires <br>both mitigation actions to reduce climate change and adaptation to cope with <br>its effects, such as increased droughts, heat waves, and flooding. In recent <br>years, resilience has emerged as one of the leading paradigms for adaptation <br>policies. These policies prompt important ethical questions. First, climate <br>adaptation and resilience 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, and which parties are beneficiaries, victimized, and forgotten. <br>These policies confront us with strong queries about social justice and <br>responsibility, necessitating critical reflection. Second, addressing the <br>different effects of climate change may require conflicting interventions. For <br>example, strategies to prevent flooding may conflict with drought strategies <br>or ecological objectives. This prompts questions about how to reconcile or <br>prioritize these different interventions and about whose claims to <br>acknowledge. Additionally, addressing issues of climate change involves a <br>long-term planning orientation taking place at different territorial scales. <br>This may shift the focus away from the everyday environmental justice <br>struggles that local communities are currently struggling with. Third, climate <br>adaptation policies demand new kinds of solutions, which to a large extent are <br>informed by scientific expertise. The way these science-based activities <br>affect matters of social justice often seem to focus mainly on the <br>effectiveness of policies instead of their legitimacy. This calls for critical <br>analysis of the interwoven character of scientific knowledge development, <br>policy-making, and societal impacts, and particularly the epistemic injustices <br>that emerge when local knowledge is dismissed. <br> <br> <br> <br>This Special Issue aims to address the different ethical questions raised by <br>climate adaptation from a multidisciplinary angle. We especially welcome <br>papers on the following topics: <br> <br>* The inclusion and exclusion of specific social groups in climate <br>politics; <br> <br>* The designation of responsibilities to actors regarding climate <br>adaptation and resilience policies; <br> <br>* Scalar politics in climate adaptation policy, as climate change issues <br>transcend geographical, administrative, and temporal scales; <br> <br>* The conceptual and/or empirical influence of resilience studies on <br>climate adaptation policies and the impact of social justice; <br> <br>* Questions of epistemic justice and the role of local knowledge in <br>climate adaptation and resilience policies; <br> <br>* Quantitative approaches that allow for modelling ethical <br>considerations in climate adaptation and resilience policies. <br> <br> <br> <br>For more information: https://www.mdpi.com/si/43526 <br> <br> <br> <br>Prof. Dr. Neelke Doorn <br>Dr. Udo Pesch <br>Guest Editors <br> <br> <br> <br>Prof.dr.mr.ir.
