Topic: ADAPTATION



CALL FOR PAPERS

ClimaCom Scientific Culture - research, journalism and art Magazine is 
pleased to receive papers, reviews and artistic and cultural productions 
for its second number, to be published on 15 April 2015. "Adaptation" is 
the theme of this issue. We seek to reflect upon this concept through 
articles, reviews, drawings, photographs, videos, etc.

The intensification of extreme events, as a result of climate change, 
brings into play the notion of adaptation, rule of action when it comes 
to thinking about the future.

Many challenges take place on the development of indicators, the 
definition and range of the public policies scope, the construction of 
scenario and future projections, facing the changes in different areas 
such as agriculture, urban planning, water resources, health, economy, 
renewable energy, climate modelling, etc. They must deal with the 
spatial, demographic, cultural, economic and social heterogeneity of 
cities, forests, coastal areas and other environments and biomes. How to 
measure vulnerability to risk, the perception of danger, behaviours and 
adaptive capacities of populations, local experiences and initiatives in 
different countries?

Accommodation, resignation, aptitude, survival, mitigation, 
responsiveness, resiliency, change of function, invention, 
improvisation, experimentation... One of the goals of this issue is to 
multiply the possibilities of problematizing adaptation, as well as to 
explore how sciences, technologies, arts, architecture, design and 
philosophy can contribute to thinking about adaptation beyond the limits 
and attachments already given. How can we shed light upon adaptive 
experiences, expanding the availability of modes of existence, of 
inhabiting the world and dealing with climate change?
