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