Small islands can be perceived as complex social-ecological systems. Many Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face a number of global climate change risks which threaten a sustainable development process. Conceptually based on complexity theory and resilience perspective, the project objectives are to analyze how social agents respond to natural pressures and stressors, and how risk and environmental knowledge are produced, integrated and employed to strengthen adaptability and social-ecological resilience. For this purpose, it is necessary to examine knowledge exchange processes across various scales from global to local. Specifically, focus will be put on the interrelations of trans-local expert knowledge and local lay knowledge as well as on the role that hybrid forms of knowledge play in specific contexts. Furthermore, particular emphasis will be laid on the modes of communication and learning processes which influence an adaptive environmental and risk management. In a final step it is aimed to utilize the results for the improvement of adaptive and participatory modes of social-ecological systems governance.

小岛屿可被视为复杂的社会生态系统。许多小岛屿发展中国家面临着一些全球气候变化的风险，威胁着可持续发展进程。基于复杂性理论和复原力的观点，项目的目标是分析社会主体如何应对自然压力和压力源，以及风险和环境知识如何产生，整合和使用，以加强适应性和社会生态复原力。为此，有必要审查从全球到地方的各种规模的知识交流进程。具体而言，重点将放在跨地方的专家知识和当地知识的相互关系，以及在特定情况下的知识的混合形式发挥的作用。此外，将特别强调影响适应性环境和风险管理的交流和学习过程的模式。在最后一步，其目的是利用这些成果来改进社会生态系统治理的适应性和参与性模式。
