In this webinar, the editors of a new interdisciplinary volume of essays will highlight the local experiences of Islanders around the world who are now situated at the forefront of climate change.

Offering multiple perspectives from 13 small island nations, Island territories and Canadian sub-national jurisdictions, this discussion will touch upon place-based innovative actions, including creative responses to climate change, the strength of islanders’ dynamic knowledge systems to weather climate impacts, the desire to move towards food sovereignty, and institutional responses to climate change that include culturally informed solutions.

While recognising that the scope of climate change is planetary and global, Turning the Tide brings the conversation down to earth by navigating climate futures through an island lens.
