Relocation of communities is widely expected to be an adaptive response to sea‐level rise, albeit a last resort after exhausting other adaptation options. It is a phenomenon, however, from which there are few examples to learn. This paper examines relocation processes underway in three low‐lying coastal villages in Fiji, each affected by coastal erosion and flooding. Drawing on the concept of “everyday agency,” it considers how environmental changes and planned relocation initiatives are resisted, accommodated, or shaped through daily activities and decision‐making. For residents of these three villages, climate change adaptation is not only a matter of adapting to environmental changes, but a process of actively steering a way through unfolding dimensions of planned relocation. The findings respond to increasingly audible calls to recognise the agency of people living in climate‐vulnerable places, and to highlight everyday responses to climate impacts and adaptation initiatives.

斐济低洼沿海村庄的计划搬迁和日常活动

人们普遍认为，迁移社区是对海平面上升的一种适应性反应，尽管在用尽其他适应性选择之后是最后的手段。但是，这是一种现象，从中可以学到的例子很少。本文考察了斐济三个低洼沿海村庄正在进行的搬迁过程，每个村庄均受到沿海侵蚀和洪水的影响。它以“日常机构”的概念为基础，考虑了如何通过日常活动和决策来抵制，适应或塑造环境变化和计划的搬迁计划。对于这三个村庄的居民来说，适应气候变化不仅是适应环境变化的问题，而且是通过规划的搬迁规模积极引导道路的过程。
