Analysis of people affected by the 2019/2020 ‘Black Summer’ bushfires in Australia finds that a stronger sense of community cohesion and identification is linked to greater perceived adaptive capacity to engage in responses that reduce risks and maximise recovery. doi.org/10.1016/j.je...
Sense of community and adaptive capacity: Insights from the 2019/2020 Australian ‘Black Summer’ bushfires

The escalating threat of climate-related disasters is challenging vulnerable communities to adapt across the world. This study examined the relationship between people's sense of community (as assessed by perceived cohesion and identification) and their perceptions of adaptive capacity, along with the role that their willingness to include all stakeholders may play in moderating this relationship. Geo-targeted surveys were used to collect data from 363 participants affected by the 2019/2020 ‘Black Summer’ Bushfires in Australia. We found that increased community cohesion and identification were linked to greater perceived adaptive capacity, along with evidence that these relationships may depend upon attitudes towards accommodating diverse stakeholder interests, such that more positive attitudes strengthened some of these associations while less positive attitudes attenuated them. These findings highlight the fundamental social underpinnings of collective adaptative capacity for communities responding to the threat of future climate-related disasters.

Excited to share our JEP paper! We surveyed Black Summer victims and found sense of community → adaptive capacity—particularly when valuing diverse interests is endorsed. Thanks to @jolanda-jetten.bsky.social @hemapreya.bsky.social @drcharlie.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1mcBZzzKDTmk-

I think part of the reason everyone is so blown away by this Carney speech is it's so long since we heard an actual grown-up articulate serious thoughts about the world. Empty vessels have been making a lot of noise

Q. Why should LGBTIQ+ Australians trust the PM's answer that he would consider adding further grounds to hate speech laws *after* the current Bill is passed given his past broken promise on protecting LGBTQ+ students & teachers? A. We shouldn't. #auslaw #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A *huge* problem. It also includes search committee positions, review requests, letters of recommendation, P&T reviews (so, so many of these post tenure)—it goes on and on. And the social penalties for women saying no are so dramatically higher than when men say no.
