Climate Captivity: when in-situ adaptation and moving out are no longer options Rather than ceasing efforts to reduce vulnerability, captive groups often experience repeated setbacks, leading to maladaptation over time. Denial might become the only coping mechanism left doi.org/10.1177/2753...

Il y a 40 ans on alertait. Il y a 20 ans on alertait. Il y a dix on alertait. Aujourd’hui on alerte. Qu’est-ce qu’on a raté? Que faut-il faire pour qu’au lieu d’écouter les scientifiques on les entende? Pensées aux victimes, aux secouristes et aux élus des communes qui gèrent les héritages.

While practitioners are prompt to call for more risk communication campaigns, the impacts of disadvantage on awareness are too often overlooked. Addressing the social vulnerability gap in disaster risk perception #IJDRR with Alexander Fekete & Eric Enderlin www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
