Purpose
What does this network do?
Research asserts that local cultural differences in perceiving and handling climate change leads to local limits of adaptation and inadequate transfer of climate-related knowledge and practices. This presents a crucial challenge for current planning-oriented research on climate change adaptation, because it often overlooks how local/regional differences in ‘climate-cultures‘ are rooted in policy planning. In turn, these challenges are the foremost hurdles to sustainable development at the time of climate change. Developing a comprehensive and holistic understanding of how similarities and differences in climate-cultures have been evolving can inform us whether a global understanding of climate-culture can feed into designing local solutions.
