Questioning Climate Resilience with Marjahn Finlayson
“Resilience” is a buzzword in the climate space, more and more, adaptation and mitigation prove insufficient as we experience more devastating climate disasters at higher frequencies than ever before. We were in conversation with Marjahn Finlayson about the problem with the dominant framings of resilience, particularly for The Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Small Island Developing States. We spoke about climate financing, false solutions, the responsibility of individuals to be smarter, better, more conscious consumers, and the functions and benefits of community.
