This project is a partnership with Dr. Daniel Aldana Cohen’s Socio-Spatial Climate Collaborative. Together, we are examining the opportunities and pitfalls of linking the adaptation and decarbonization imperatives at the concrete project level, emerging financial mechanisms that could combine these imperatives, and how questions of equity and power pervade these new struggles. Fundamentally, the trillions of dollars invested in decarbonization and adaptation represent an essential opportunity to define new paradigms for transcending and replacing neoliberal climate governance.
How can the great imperatives of decarbonization and adaptation be more productively combined to deliver holistic climate action at the needed speed and scale? How can conjoined green investments to transform the built environment tackle climate vulnerabilities exacerbated by racial inequality and enduring colonialism?
