Inhaltsangabe

This book assesses the opportunities and outcomes for shared-action learning, participatory approaches, and university-community partnerships to support climate adaptation and climate justice in the US Caribbean. The authors explore the ways that project-based pedagogies and collaborative research can contribute not only to building climate resilience and social infrastructures, but more broadly to generating new modes of experimental climate creativity knowledge sharing. They investigate the potential in leveraging federal research funding for climate resilience, for experimenting with co-production of knowledge and the move towards greater climate justice through processes of creative collaboration. With a focus on Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, this book seeks to offer insights on how academic researchers can engage in ethical collaborations that will support climate vulnerable communities exercise self-determination, equitable climate adaptation, and place-keeping – rather than displacement.
