This thematic collection focuses on responses to climate change taking place in, and / or led by, non-traditional ‘research’ communities. It aims to provide a platform to record and disseminate the insights from many community-level and community-led research projects that are currently poorly visible (or completely invisible) to many researchers and practitioners.
We suspect that some of the most grounded, creative, innovative and transformative work on preparing for and responding to climate change impacts is and will be coming from communities around the world who are themselves foreseeing or currently grappling with the impacts of climate change. Communities of all kinds hold and constantly evolve important knowledge, skills and insights highly relevant to addressing climate change.
This collection aims to provide a platform to record and disseminate the insights from many community-scale and community-led research projects that are currently poorly visible to researchers and practitioners.
For a further detailed overview of the collection please read the Editorial article, available open access here.
