To date, research, public policies and interventions in adaptation to climate change have focused on a technocratic management based on natural science studies. This approximation doesn’t consider climate change as an object of research multifaceted, socio-politic and contested. Similarly, it doesn’t take into account that communities and individuals negotiate strategies responding to multiple and concurrent socio-economic, political, cultural and environmental drivers of changes.
In AGATA, research perspectives from a new feminist political ecology and a feminist critical epistemology converge to enquiry adaptation and its knowledge construction. We propose a focus based on situated knowledge, daily practices and experiences and intersectionality that help to reframe the debate on climate change and adaptation. Additionally, a new feminist perspective claims in AGATA for a pluralism of epistemology and trasdisciplinary methodologies.
