🌊New in Geo🌊 'Playful mapping for climate adaptation: Two case studies from Jakarta's coast' by Annika Kühn et al. This paper is part of an ongoing Special Section: 'Mapping Climate Change Perceptions'. doi.org/10.1002/geo2...
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Geo: Geography and Environment by Annika Kühn, Teresa Erbach, Hilke Marit Berger & Haratua Zosran (2026) entitled: 'Playful Mapping for Climate Adaptation: Two Case Studies From Jakarta's Coast' with an orange banner at the top.

While playful methods are increasingly used in participatory mapping processes, their strategic value, particularly in relation to climate adaptation, remains underexamined. This paper explores the potential and limitations of playful mapping approaches in climate adaptation, focusing on two qualitative case studies in Jakarta's flood-prone Kampung Akuarium: memory mapping with children and speculative gameplay with residents and government officials. Both approaches are examined in terms of their methodological strengths and weaknesses as well as their impact and scalability. The findings show that playful and participatory mapping tools open spaces for storytelling, imagination and collective reflection. They make visible immaterial cultural heritage and emotional aspects often excluded from technocratic planning, allowing participants to articulate the cultural dimensions of urban transformation. Yet, these insights often remain symbolic without pathways for institutional uptake. The paper argues that the context-specific potentials and the downsides of playful methods need to be evaluated carefully. Where their contribution to adaptation processes outweighs their resource-intensiveness, they should be treated not only as experiential formats but as strategic instruments embedded in long-term, co-creative research infrastructures.

🌍New in Geo!🌍 'Cultural heritage in motion: Adaptive mobile cultures of (semi)nomadic Indigenous people in changing climates' by Nuhu Adeiza Ismail et al. This paper draws on empirical research carried out in Thailand, Ethiopia and Senegal. doi.org/10.1002/geo2...
A graphical abstract for a paper in Geo: Geography and Environment. It shows a wheel graphic with 'Adaptive mobile cultures' in the centre, and different sections around it: Environmental mobilities, Beyond human, Adaptive livelihoods, and Indigenous knowledge. From each of these stems 'adaptive frictions' such as development-induced immobility, epistemic dominance of Western scientific paradigms, and sedentary adaptation approaches. These are explored in the paper.

Climate adaptation & governance are still stuck in sedentary thinking, neglecting mobility and Indigenous expertise. We need a rethinking: 👉https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/geo2.70054 #ClimateAdaptation #IndigenousKnowledge #ClimateMobility #MobilityJustice #LossAndDamage

How much CO₂ can the world emit while limiting global temperature rise?
Bar chart showing estimates of remaining carbon dioxide budgets that give a 50% likelihood of staying below each temperature level, relative to pre-industrial levels. 

A baseline label shows global emissions in 2025 at 42 gigatonnes (Gt) per year. Three vertical bars show remaining CO2 budgets: stay below 1.5°C — 170 Gt, labeled as 4 years of current emissions, with a note that if emissions stay at 2025 levels the 1.5°C budget will be exhausted within 4 years; stay below 1.7°C — 525 Gt, labeled as 12.5 years of current emissions; stay below 2°C — 1055 Gt, labeled as 25 years of current emissions, with an annotation saying that by 2050 we will have exhausted the 2°C budget unless emissions are reduced now. Footer note states these estimates have uncertainty and depend on changes in non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide. Data sources listed as IPCC, Forster et al. (2025) and Global Carbon Project (2025). License CC BY.

How over- and underrepresented are different causes of death in the media? Another way to visualize this data is to measure how over- or underrepresented each cause is. To do this, we calculate the ratio between a cause’s share of deaths and its share of news articles.
