ABSTRACT

The institutional and political contexts of climate action matter. Planning and sustainability science have parallel interests in politics and institutions, particularly in institutional reforms that balance continuity and change. Our theorizing inert resilience highlights micro (individual) and meso (institutional) foundations of macro-state capacities for climate adaptation through social learning and transformative capacity building. Using survey, conversations, and participant observation in a Philippine case study, we discuss six inertia-inducing institutional traps shaping climate adaptation challenges in inert resilience contexts. Examining resource constraints, value conflicts, and colonial legacies influencing inertia, we propose pathways toward local capacity-building and social learning for climate adaptation.

抽象的

气候行动的制度和政治环境至关重要。规划和可持续性科学在政治和制度上有着平行的利益，尤其是在平衡连续性和变化的制度改革中。我们理论上的惰性弹性强调了通过社会学习和变革型能力建设来实现气候适应的宏观国家能力的微观（个体）和中观（机构）基础。通过在菲律宾案例研究中的调查，对话和参与者观察，我们讨论了在惰性弹性环境下形成气候适应挑战的六个惯性诱导机构陷阱。考察资源限制，价值冲突和影响惯性的殖民遗产，我们提出了通往当地能力建设和社会学习以适应气候变化的途径。
