Congratulations to SDEC Lab members Associate Professor Michele Barnes and Dr Henry Bartelet and their colleague Sandra Alday (Business School) on their new climate adaptation research project funding. The funding is provided by the Sydney Environment Institute as part of their collaborative grant scheme. The project will develop a novel social network and systems mapping approach to understand who benefits—and who may be disadvantaged—by climate adaptation initiatives, and why.
Focusing on coastal communities in the Philippines, the research will examine how social ties, power, and access to resources shape adaptation outcomes associated with grey infrastructure (a large seawall), with future potential applications across countries including Kenya.
