Description
Luissa Vahedi and Carmen Logie ask what climate resilience talk hides: the fragility of governance itself. The head dates the piece to 2027, one year past the catalog's 2026. Since the 1990s, fragility has labeled poorer countries that cannot shield citizens from threats. The authors widen the lens to rich countries and to climate change in full, from its human drivers to adaptation.
Their framework locates fragility inside institutions, in three gaps: weak motivation to act, poor uptake of evidence, and thin capacity to carry plans out. The United States serves as the case study, where political ideology shapes all three. The authors propose a research to practice agenda that works with local climate governance when national levels falter.
