Special Issue : Rhythms of the Earth
Indigenous and rural societies that have contributed least to the anthropogenic climate crises are facing its harshest consequences. One of the greatest challenges is the lack of predictability, especially at local scales. Indigenous and rural societies face an ever shifting “new normal” through increasing inconsistency in the seasonality of temperature and precipitation, and greater frequency of extreme weather events. With global food systems dependent on local producers, climatic variability disrupts access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally relevant food. Social and biophysical scientists are collaborating with communities to build revitalized ecological calendars based on a combination of Indigenous and scientific ecological knowledge, thus contributing to anticipatory capacity. This special issue:
- Communicates research findings from diverse sociocultural and ecological contexts
- Presents replicable participatory research methodologies
- Demonstrates the global applicability of ecological calendars to build anticipatory capacity
- Articulates policy and adaptation strategies
- Engages diverse perspectives
