In the wake of the 2017 hurricane season, discussions across the Caribbean have turned to the need to develop more resilient energy systems, particularly through the deployment of renewable energy sources. In this paper, we examine the post-Hurricane Maria rebuilding of Dominica’s electricity system in light of recent scholarship around the Anthropocene and the Caribbean, work that has heightened awareness of the entanglements between the earth’s geophysical forces and its socio-economic and geo-political relations. Drawing on archival research and key informants in Dominica, we describe the history of Dominica’s energy system, and then provide an overview of some of the energy rebuilding efforts in the country’s ongoing recovery from Hurricane Maria, particularly around the question of resilience. While we acknowledge critiques of resilience as a framework for disaster management, we also argue that resilience initiatives foster the potential for an Anthropocene reimagining of geosocial formations within the Caribbean. In the conclusion, we argue that the domain of energy, and in particular electricity, opens up important questions at the interface of social-ecological relations and the organization of collective life.
2017年飓风季过后,加勒比地区的讨论转向了开发更具弹性的能源系统的必要性,特别是通过部署可再生能源。在这篇论文中,我们根据人类世和加勒比地区最近的学术成果,研究了飓风玛丽亚过后多米尼克电力系统的重建,这项工作提高了人们对地球地球物理力量与其社会经济和地缘政治关系之间纠缠的认识。根据多米尼克的档案研究和主要信息来源,我们描述了多米尼克能源系统的历史,然后概述了该国从飓风玛丽亚中持续恢复的一些能源重建工作,特别是在恢复力问题上。虽然我们承认对抗灾能力作为灾害管理框架的批评,但我们也认为,抗灾能力举措有助于人类世重新构想加勒比地区的地质社会结构。在结论中,我们认为能源领域,特别是电力领域,在社会生态关系和集体生活组织的界面上提出了重要问题。

Recipe for Resilience? Tracing the Biopolitics of Sint Maarten’s Recovery Efforts After Irma 韧性的配方?伊尔玛事件后圣马丁岛恢复努力的生物政治溯源
Pub Date : 2018-12-01 DOI: 10.1142/S234573761840002X

On 6 September 2017, hurricane Irma made landfall in Sint Maarten causing extensive infrastructural damage and leaving thousands homeless in its aftermath. Despite ongoing relief efforts, the country is still facing a huge recovery task nearly one year on. Amid a new hurricane season, many questions remain about the country’s future and its state of readiness for possible future climate impacts. In response to these concerns, the government of Sint Maarten has recently spearheaded several initiatives supported by the World Bank and the Netherlands, aimed at mobilizing resources to fuel the recovery efforts and build local-level capacity to prepare for future disaster events. These initiatives include several key pieces of legislations and plans that have set out the government’s vision and priorities. For this paper, I draw on these reports along with several key informant interviews conducted in summer 2018 to offer some preliminary insights on Sint Maarten’s post-hurricane situation. More specifically, I explore how ideas around resilience and “building back better”, get mobilized and incorporated in the recovery efforts and plans following Irma, and the particular work these perform both materially and discursively. The paper also highlights the various ways the post-hurricane situation has become a highly contested and politicized post/colonial terrain, fueled largely by the ongoing tensions and power asymmetries between the Netherlands and the Sint Maarten government.
2017年9月6日,飓风“伊尔玛”登陆圣马丁岛,造成基础设施大面积破坏,数千人无家可归。尽管救援工作仍在进行,但近一年来,该国仍面临着巨大的恢复任务。在新的飓风季节,该国的未来以及应对未来可能的气候影响的准备状态仍存在许多问题。为了应对这些关切,圣马丁岛政府最近率先采取了几项由世界银行和荷兰支持的举措,旨在调动资源,推动恢复工作,并建设地方一级的能力,为未来的灾难事件做好准备。这些举措包括制定政府愿景和优先事项的几项关键立法和计划。在这篇论文中,我利用这些报告以及2018年夏天进行的几次关键线人采访,对圣马丁飓风后的情况提供了一些初步见解。更具体地说,我探索了围绕复原力和“重建得更好”的想法是如何被动员起来并纳入Irma之后的恢复工作和计划的,以及这些想法在物质和话语方面所做的特殊工作。该文件还强调,飓风后的局势在很大程度上是由荷兰和圣马丁政府之间持续的紧张局势和权力不对称所推动的,成为一个充满争议和政治化的后殖民地。

Caribbean Reconstruction and Climate Justice: Transnational Insurgent Intellectual Networks and Post-Hurricane Transformation 加勒比重建和气候正义:跨国叛乱知识分子网络和飓风后转型
Pub Date : 2018-12-01 DOI: 10.1142/S2345737618400018

The devastating impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria across the northeastern Caribbean not only bring closer a world of immediate climate disaster and halting recovery, but also cast a long shadow of slow disasters and impossible futures for small island states in the face of significantly unstable and unpredictable climate patterns. In contrast to the mainstream idea of just “building back better” the paper underscores the need to also better account for the root causes of disaster risk and violent histories that still influence recovery processes at present. The paper draws on the recent debates over Caribbean reconstruction in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, but sets this immediate crisis in the context of longer debates over Caribbean reconstruction, reparations and climate justice. Revisiting arguments in W.E.B. DuBois’s classic sociological study of “Black Reconstruction in America”, this commentary also foregrounds Aldon Morris’s concept of “insurgent intellectual networks” to analyze the emergence of transnational “liberation capital” in the Caribbean region. These approaches help not only to ask how should we recover from or adapt to such storms, but how should major contributors to global warming pay for rebuilding, reparations, and restitution? What forms of deliberation, participation, procedural processes, and capabilities are necessary to make these determinations? Should restorative justice be linked to the Caricom demand for the European Union to pay reparations for slavery? And finally, what forms of epistemic justice are needed to recognize and support the work of insurgent intellectual networks?
飓风“厄玛”和“玛丽亚”在加勒比海东北部造成的破坏性影响,不仅使世界面临迫在眉睫的气候灾害和停滞不前的恢复,而且给小岛屿国家蒙上了漫长的阴影:灾害缓慢发生,气候模式极不稳定和不可预测,它们的未来不可能实现。与“更好地重建”的主流观点相反,该报告强调还需要更好地解释灾害风险和暴力历史的根本原因,这些原因目前仍在影响恢复进程。这篇论文借鉴了最近关于飓风“厄玛”和“玛丽亚”过后加勒比地区重建的争论,但将这一迫在眉睫的危机置于关于加勒比地区重建、赔偿和气候正义的长期辩论的背景下。这篇评论回顾了杜波伊斯的经典社会学研究“美国黑人重建”中的论点,并将奥尔登·莫里斯的“叛乱知识分子网络”概念置于分析加勒比地区跨国“解放资本”出现的前景。这些方法不仅有助于询问我们应该如何从这样的风暴中恢复或适应,而且还有助于询问全球变暖的主要贡献者应该如何支付重建、赔偿和恢复费用?什么形式的审议、参与、程序过程和能力是做出这些决定所必需的?恢复性司法是否应该同加勒比共同体要求欧洲联盟支付奴隶制赔偿的要求联系起来?最后,需要何种形式的认识正义来承认和支持反叛的知识分子网络的工作?

Landscape-Based Extreme Heat Vulnerability Assessment 基于景观的极端高温脆弱性评估
Pub Date : 2018-12-01 DOI: 10.1142/S2345737618500185

Extreme heat is becoming an increasingly dangerous threat to urban residents. However, unlike hazards such as storm surges which have been well studied by agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Commission in the United States, communities lack basic knowledge of where extreme heat threats are likely to have the most impact, and who is likely to be most affected. Here, we apply a mapping approach to identify areas of New York City where people are likely to be particularly vulnerable to extreme heat-related health effects based on both exposure to biophysical elements that exacerbate heat, and sensitivity to heat-related health impacts. Unlike most studies that develop indicators of heat vulnerability at Census-based aggregations, we disaggregate population data to a fine scale, in order to more precisely identify vulnerable communities. Using a landscape-based indicator that links exposure to properties of the urban built and natural landscape, we develop an approach for informing land-based strategies for mitigating micro-urban heat islands. Our findings indicate that African Americans and households living below the poverty line are disproportionately exposed to high surface temperatures. This study illustrates an approach for identifying multiple dimensions of vulnerability to extreme heat with improved location precision, in a way that informs spatially strategic extreme heat mitigation efforts.
极端高温对城市居民的威胁越来越大。然而,与美国联邦紧急事务管理委员会(Federal Emergency Management Commission)等机构充分研究的风暴潮等危险不同,社区缺乏极端高温威胁可能在哪里产生最大影响以及谁可能受到最大影响的基本知识。在这里,我们应用一种绘图方法来确定纽约市的哪些地区的人们可能特别容易受到与极端高温相关的健康影响,这既取决于暴露于加剧高温的生物物理元素,也取决于对高温相关健康影响的敏感性。与大多数在基于人口普查的汇总中制定热脆弱性指标的研究不同,我们将人口数据分解到一个精细的规模,以便更准确地识别脆弱社区。使用一个基于景观的指标,将暴露于城市建筑和自然景观的属性联系起来,我们制定了一种方法,为缓解微城市热岛效应的陆基战略提供信息。我们的研究结果表明,非裔美国人和生活在贫困线以下的家庭不成比例地暴露在高温下。这项研究展示了一种方法,可以通过提高定位精度来识别多个维度的极端高温脆弱性,从而为空间战略极端高温缓解工作提供信息。

Managed Retreat — A Strategy for the Mitigation of Disaster Risks with International and Comparative Perspectives 有管理的撤退——国际和比较视角下的减灾战略

Currently, potentials of spatial planning in disaster risk mitigation have not yet been fully tapped, especially in the context of managed retreat regarding both inhabitants and infrastructure in hazard prone areas. Retreat as a development opportunity in adjusting spatial patterns, diverging urban growth, reducing risks in pre- and post-disasters, achieving urban resilience and “Build Back Better” is undervalued. Besides little success achieved so far, there is a lack of context-specific lessons learnt, particularly in how to prioritize planned retreat. In this paper we attempt to investigate potential barriers, challenges and opportunities of disaster risk-related retreat in both developing and developed countries. Using several country studies, we review and categorise retreat strategies in different development settings and disaster contexts and highlight comparative discussions of both reactive and proactive retreat strategies. We argue that managed retreat can be an effective spatial resilience strategy in disaster mitigation. We propose to examine success factors of retreat, its indicators and criteria, a balance with on-site upgrading and an application of retreat typologies. We emphasise critical aspects including the enhancement of institutional capacity in risk governance, the adoption of legally binding hazard maps and hazard-controlled land use, especially prior to disasters. We vote for embedding of affordable housing with planned retreat schemes and sustaining resettlement sites with viable livelihood strategies, and finally monitoring and evaluating impacts of retreat schemes along with urban development and livelihood performance. We also emphasise community-driven retreat strategies with participation mechanism to ensure inhabitants’ concerns in retreat planning processes to its local context.
目前,空间规划在减轻灾害风险方面的潜力尚未充分发挥,特别是在灾害易发地区的居民和基础设施管理撤退的背景下。撤退作为调整空间格局、分化城市增长、降低灾前灾后风险、实现城市韧性和“重建得更好”的发展机遇被低估。除了迄今取得的成功很少之外,还缺乏针对具体情况的经验教训,特别是在如何确定计划撤退的优先次序方面。在本文中,我们试图调查发展中国家和发达国家灾害风险相关撤退的潜在障碍、挑战和机遇。通过对几个国家的研究,我们对不同发展环境和灾害背景下的撤退策略进行了回顾和分类,并强调了对被动和主动撤退策略的比较讨论。我们认为,有管理的撤退可以成为一种有效的减灾空间弹性策略。我们建议研究撤退的成功因素,其指标和标准,与现场升级的平衡以及撤退类型的应用。我们强调一些关键方面,包括加强风险治理的机构能力,采用具有法律约束力的灾害地图和灾害控制的土地使用,特别是在灾害发生前。我们投票支持将经济适用房嵌入规划的撤退方案,并通过可行的生计策略维持安置点,最后监测和评估撤退方案的影响以及城市发展和生计表现。我们还强调以社区为导向的撤退策略和参与机制,以确保居民在撤退规划过程中关注当地环境。

The innovation process is central to effective adaption to climate change and development challenges, but models from business and management tend to dominate innovation theory, which sits outside the adaption-development paradigm. This paper presents an alternative conceptual framework to visualize innovations as pathways across the adaption-development landscape for humanitarian and development goals. This useful tool can reveal, map and coordinate innovation strategy. To demonstrate and validate this approach, we analyze a case study of innovation in aftershock forecasting for humanitarian decision-making and show that the most effective strategy is for multiple innovation strands and hubs to move concurrently and cumulatively towards transformative humanitarian and development goals.
创新过程是有效适应气候变化和发展挑战的核心,但来自商业和管理的模式往往主导创新理论,而创新理论位于适应-发展范式之外。本文提出了另一种概念框架,将创新可视化为实现人道主义和发展目标的适应发展景观的途径。这个有用的工具可以揭示、映射和协调创新战略。为了证明和验证这种方法,我们分析了一个用于人道主义决策的余震预测创新案例研究,并表明最有效的策略是让多个创新链和中心同时、累积地朝着变革性人道主义和发展目标迈进。

Engaging Vulnerable Populations in Multi-Level Stakeholder Collaborative Urban Adaptation Planning for Extreme Events and Climate Risks — A Case Study of East Boston USA 极端事件和气候风险的多层次利益相关者协同城市适应规划中弱势群体的参与——以美国东波士顿为例

Pressing challenges in urban adaptation planning to extreme events include: (1) involving vulnerable populations in the impacted area; and (2) employing a multi-level stakeholder collaborative process to build consensus for action. These processes become even more important as adaptive urban planning is recognized as an effective governance model for adaptation to climate change. In a case study of a low to moderate income community vulnerable to present and increased coastal storm surge flooding, the Supported Community Planning Process was employed because (a) most residents of East Boston affiliate primarily with their own local neighborhoods and (b) the residents need targeted expertise to help them understand some of the scientific and technical aspects of adaptation planning. Collaboration was necessary among three sets of critical stakeholders interested in adaptation strategies in East Boston — the local residents and small businesses, the City of Boston, and the agencies that provide infrastructure services — because some adaptation actions will collectively protect assets of all. The overall process occurred successfully because of positive, knowledgeable, and direct exchange of values and goals. The research illustrates how marginalized populations can be effectively engaged in urban adaptation planning, and how that process can be combined in multi-level stakeholder collaborative planning so that plans might be developed that meet multiple shared and individual goals in a cost-effective manner.
城市极端事件适应规划面临的紧迫挑战包括:(1)涉及受影响地区的弱势群体;(2)采用多层次的利益相关者协作过程来建立行动共识。随着适应性城市规划被认为是适应气候变化的有效治理模式,这些过程变得更加重要。在一个低收入至中等收入社区的案例研究中,由于(a)东波士顿的大多数居民主要与他们自己的当地社区联系在一起,(b)居民需要有针对性的专业知识来帮助他们了解适应规划的一些科学和技术方面,因此采用了支持社区规划过程。对东波士顿适应战略感兴趣的三组关键利益攸关方——当地居民和小企业、波士顿市和提供基础设施服务的机构——之间的合作是必要的,因为一些适应行动将共同保护所有人的资产。由于积极的、知识渊博的、直接的价值观和目标交换,整个过程得以成功进行。该研究说明了边缘化人群如何有效地参与城市适应性规划,以及如何将这一过程与多层次利益相关者协作规划相结合,从而制定出符合多个共同目标和个人目标的计划,并具有成本效益。

In a case study of a low to moderate income community vulnerable to present and increased coastal storm surge flooding, the Supported Community Planning Process was employed because (a) most residents of East Boston affiliate primarily with their own local neighborhoods and (b) the residents need targeted expertise to help them understand some of the scientific and technical aspects of adaptation planning. Collaboration was necessary among three sets of critical stakeholders interested in adaptation strategies in East Boston — the local residents and small businesses, the City of Boston, and the agencies that provide infrastructure services — because some adaptation actions will collectively protect assets of all. The overall process occurred successfully because of positive, knowledgeable, and direct exchange of values and goals. The research illustrates how marginalized populations can be effectively engaged in urban adaptation planning, and how that process can be combined in multi-level stakeholder collaborative planning so that plans might be developed that meet multiple shared and individual goals in a cost-effective manner.","PeriodicalId":73748,"journal":{"name":"Journal of extreme events","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S2345737618500136","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45429100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unprecedented number of devastating disasters recently experienced in the United States is a clarion call to revisit how we understand our vulnerability in the face of global change, and what we are prepared to do about it. We focus on the case of Hurricane María’s impact in Puerto Rico to underscore five critical concerns in addressing vulnerability and adaptation planning: (i) vulnerability as a product of flows; (ii) how our beliefs about the capacities of ourselves and others affect local vulnerability; (iii) the role uncertainty, politics, and information access play in amplifying vulnerability and complicating adaptation; (iv) the need for a better distribution of risk and responsibility in adaptation; (v) and the challenge of seizing the opportunity of disasters for transformative change. These five issues of concern were particularly evident in the case of Puerto Rico where Hurricane María’s 155 mph winds exposed existing infrastructural vulnerabilities, institutional incapacities, and socio-economic disparities. We argue that addressing these issues requires fundamental shifts in how we prepare for environmental change and disasters in the 21st century. We discuss promising approaches that may assist researchers and practitioners in addressing some of the underlying drivers of vulnerability, stemming from cross-scalar dynamics, systemic interdependencies, and the politics and social relations associated with knowledge, decision-making and action. We argue that society needs to broach the difficult topic of the equity in the distribution of risk in society and the burden of adaptation. Addressing these challenges and response imperatives is a central task of this century; the time to act is now.
美国最近经历了数量空前的毁灭性灾难,这是一个号角,呼吁我们重新审视我们如何理解我们在全球变化面前的脆弱性,以及我们准备如何应对。我们重点关注飓风玛丽亚对波多黎各的影响,以强调在解决脆弱性和适应规划方面的五个关键关切:一脆弱性是流动的产物;(ii)我们对自己和他人能力的信念如何影响当地的脆弱性;(iii)不确定性、政治和信息获取在扩大脆弱性和使适应复杂化方面发挥的作用;四需要更好地分配适应方面的风险和责任;(v) 以及抓住灾害机遇进行变革的挑战。这五个令人担忧的问题在波多黎各的情况下尤为明显,飓风玛丽亚每小时155英里的风速暴露了现有的基础设施脆弱性、机构能力和社会经济差距。我们认为,解决这些问题需要从根本上改变我们应对21世纪环境变化和灾难的方式。我们讨论了一些有前景的方法,这些方法可能有助于研究人员和从业者解决脆弱性的一些潜在驱动因素,这些驱动因素源于跨标量动态、系统相互依存以及与知识、决策和行动相关的政治和社会关系。我们认为,社会需要提出社会风险分配的公平性和适应负担这一难题。应对这些挑战和应对当务之急是本世纪的中心任务;现在是采取行动的时候了。

Towards a More Resilient Delhi: Rapid Urbanization and Climate Change 迈向更具韧性的德里:快速城市化与气候变化

The discourse on resilient cities encapsulates various analogies, which are further constructed through the work of researchers in creation of several resilience assessment methodologies and toolkits. Despite the presence of numerous resilience assessment tools, there is an apparent lack of participation of residents of the global south within the assessment and iterative transformation processes. The situation, hence, is not truly represented through application of these tools in certain socio-political climates such as of India. Consistent economic growth of India has resulted in rapid urbanization of major cities. But, this has not been supplemented with proper planning, resulting in imbalances in all spheres of city infrastructure. Delhi, capital city of India, has been one of the worst hit cities. The hot seasons have caused thousands of fatalities in the past few years. An attempt is made to review the application of current resilience tools in Delhi against the backdrop of the sustainable development goals. In an attempt to improve the approach of these existing tools, an initial iteration is conducted, hinging on qualitative data obtained through surveying a sample population of the city and accessible quantitative metric data. Possible intervention scenarios are further suggested in view of aforementioned stressors and resilience scores. Research question: Where are the current resilience tools found lacking in the case of the global south, specifically in Delhi? How can the applicability of these tools be improved without compromising the deliverables yet ensuring an all-inclusive approach? Key findings: (1) The city is found lacking in adequate infrastructure facilities to its residents especially within the ambits of basic water and sanitation provision and healthcare services. (2) The city is relatively unprepared to face unforeseen events, both at the administrative and the grassroots levels. The lack of knowledge transfer and cooperation are largely evident.
关于韧性城市的论述概括了各种类比,这些类比是通过研究人员在创建几种韧性评估方法和工具包方面的工作而进一步构建的。尽管有许多复原力评估工具,但全球南方的居民显然没有参与评估和迭代转型进程。因此,在某些社会政治气候下,例如在印度,这些工具的应用并不能真正代表这种情况。印度持续的经济增长导致了主要城市的快速城市化。但是,这并没有得到适当规划的补充,导致城市基础设施各个领域的不平衡。印度首都德里是受灾最严重的城市之一。在过去的几年里,炎热的季节已经造成数千人死亡。试图在可持续发展目标的背景下审查德里目前的复原力工具的应用情况。为了改进这些现有工具的方法,进行了初步迭代,重点是通过调查城市样本人口获得的定性数据和可访问的定量度量数据。鉴于上述压力源和恢复力得分,进一步提出了可能的干预方案。研究问题:在全球南部,特别是德里,目前缺乏的恢复力工具在哪里?如何在不影响可交付成果的情况下提高这些工具的适用性,同时确保采用包罗万象的方法?主要发现:(1)该市缺乏足够的居民基础设施,尤其是在基本水和卫生设施以及医疗保健服务范围内。(2) 无论是在行政层面还是在基层层面,这座城市都没有做好应对突发事件的准备。知识转让与合作的缺乏在很大程度上是显而易见的。
