The team spoke with #fishing communities to learn about how they use #dunes for storage of #fishing equipment like boats, nets and also for shade. As we reimagine these spaces through a #netzero lens, incorporating local needs is crucial. Learn more: transitionsresearch.org/pull…

Sand dunes in Panaji not only prevent #coastalerosion but also aid in carbon #sequestration. However, their degradation poses challenges to both the efficacy of ecological services and #livelihoods of local fishing communities. #netzero #adaptation #urbanresilience

Last week, the #PULL team was in Panaji, exploring how the city’s diverse #NaturebasedSolutions can contribute to combating #climatechange while also supporting local #livelihoods. We uncovered potential tradeoffs between restoration efforts for #sequestration & social use (1/3)

Our panel at the recent #4SHonolulu2023 conference showed how the framing of a #climateemergency enabled institutional changes to manage emerging risks. However, if not carefully managed such declarations can reinforce the existing #power structures. shorturl.at/qCDKO
