Strengthening European Climate Policy

I have published a chapter about climate change adaptation with colleagues from KLI (Austria). The chapter is the result of a grant I have directed with Corey Bunce (KLI fellow).
Here's the link to the chapter: 

Menatti, L., Brenner, AK., Chanam, J., Knickel, M., Sridhar, H., Bunce, C. (2024). Adapting to Heatwaves: Reframing, Understanding, and Translating Strategies from India to the EU. In: Galende Sánchez, E., Sorman, A.H., Cabello, V., Heidenreich, S., Klöckner, C.A. (eds) Strengthening European Climate Policy. Palgrave Macmillan, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-72055-0_4
​

• ​In the chapter we propose a reframing of adaptation as situated, relational, and long-term processes within socio-ecological systems to maximise the value of nature-oriented, place-based, and community-driven strategies.
• Interdisciplinary approaches integrating STEM and SSH perspectives provide better understanding of adaptation strategies and lead to innovative knowledge for guiding adaptation actions.
• Adaptation policies in the EU should draw upon the Global South given their long history of adaptation to extreme temperatures.
• Translating learning possibilities requires intercultural and intergeographical tailoring of policy according to local options, needs, and resources, and not just mere knowledge transfer.
• To foster mutually beneficial global interrelations, the EU should emphasise opportunities for social and epistemic justice, and interconnectedness.​​
