ODI: Think changeInstitutional capacity, useability of data, and evidence-based decision-making for sustainable development in Small Island Developing StatesThis paper outlines the challenges, opportunities and gaps for SIDS institutions when utilising data and evidence-based decision-making for sustainable development in SIDS. It explores the applicability of ‘big’ and ‘small’ data in SIDS contexts, the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge and local experiences into policy decisions, and the role of regional data platforms in enhancing capacity and supporting evidence-based policies.

"#ClimateChange, #CommunityAction, and #Health in the Anglophone #Caribbean: A Scoping Review"
doi.org/10.3389/phrs.2023.1605

Led by Sonja Myhre with Michelle Scobie Eija Meriläinen Unni Gopinathan.

FrontiersClimate Change, Community Action, and Health in the Anglophone Caribbean: A Scoping ReviewObjective: This scoping review investigates the status of research focusing on the nexus of community action, climate change, and health and wellbeing in anglophone Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS).Methods: This review was guided by Arksey and O’Malley framework and utilized the PRISMA-ScR checklist. We searched Medline/OVID, PsychInfo, VHL, Sociological Abstracts, Google Scholar, and Scopus to capture interdisciplinary studies published from 1946 to 2021.Results: The search yielded 3,828 records of which fourteen studies met the eligibility criteria. The analysis assessed study aim, geographic focus, community stakeholders, community action, climate perspective, health impact, as well as dimensions including resources/assets, education/information, organization and governance, innovation and flexibility, and efficacy and agency. Nearly all studies were case studies using mixed method approaches involving qualitative and quantitative data. Community groups organized around focal areas related to fishing, farming, food security, conservation, and the environment.Conclusion: Despite the bearing these areas have on public health, few studies explicitly examine direct links between health and climate change. Research dedicated to the nexus of community action, climate change, and health in the anglophone Caribbean warrants further study.

Journal of Design for Resilience in Architecture and Planning · Land body ecologies: The London hub This photo essay and accompanying text visualize and represent the work that was based in London, UK of a collective project called Land Body Ecologies (LBE), a global transdisciplinary network exploring the deep interconnections of mental health and ecosystem health. LBE's research and action work combined science, art, and public engagement to understand and redress the ongoing crisis of land trauma among land-dependent and Indigenous peoples who nonetheless display remarkable resilience. The research and action have been rooted within communities seeking resilience for their interlinked culture, environment, and land rights, so that they could comprehend, document, and overcome the crises and traumas endured when their land suffers. LBE's London-based work is presented through photos of the arts-science-community space that anchored the work around the world.

"Between tinkering and #transformation: A contemporary appraisal of #ClimateChange #adaptation research on the world's #islands"
doi.org/10.3389/fclim.2022.107
Led by Jan Petzold.

FrontiersBetween tinkering and transformation: A contemporary appraisal of climate change adaptation research on the world's islandsIslands are at the center of discourses on climate change. Yet despite extensive work on diverse island systems in a changing climate, we still lack an understanding of climate change-related responses amongst islands and what shifting from what might be called “tinkering” (perhaps heat warnings) to “transformational” adaptation (perhaps relocation) means for these vastly different landmasses which are often grouped together by default. Through a systematic review of the climate change adaptation scientific literature, this paper critically reflects on how considering islands as a homogenous ensemble and the use of buzzwords such as “transformational adaptation” may be problematic for diverse island realities under climate change. Our findings show that the adaptation evidence base actually provides literature on contrasting island types and cultural and political contexts, including Small Island Developing States as well as other island territories. This study finds research gaps with respect to regions (e.g., South America, Africa, and Mediterranean) and that there is overall both little evidence of and a lack of context-specific definitions of transformational adaptation in island contexts. The adaptation literature does not yet fully reflect the experiences or needs of islands regarding transitions and transformations throughout history.

First post here to introduce myself. I am an early modern #historian in Maastricht and specialise in #geohumanities and #islandstudies. I am looking forward to making contact with other researchers in my areas of interest. I am currently co-coordinating the #DigiKAR project and have just published our recent teaching project on clerical mobility in early modern Mainz. ieg-dhr.github.io/DigiKAR_Proj
