Coastal TALES, Telling Adaptation: Living Environmental Stories for Coastal Resilience

Coastal TALES问：过去的实践故事如何帮助人们在快速变化的沿海环境中重新发现更可持续的生活方式？我们的目标是展示如何利用遗产故事来创造切实的地方行动，让各地的个人都能采取行动，帮助适应不断变化的气候。为了探索这一点，我们使用跨学科的方法，它汇集了当地社区的知识和专业知识，结合跨学科界限的学术技能，专注于三个北方沿海地区：阿拉斯加，爱尔兰和威尔士。人们正在感受到气候变化的后果，并在询问他们能在实地做些什么，但许多行动现在感到不够，而且所依据的承诺对当地几乎没有明显的影响。因此，这项研究关注日益增长的社会需求，以了解个人如何应对气候变化对家庭的影响。它提供了故事如何在不同地点转化为实际行动的例子，并为那些想要积极适应可持续发展的人提供了创造性的灵感。Coastal TALES与社会合作伙伴合作，了解遗产故事正在推动教育，政策和当地基于自然的创新行动。

Coastal TALES asks: How can stories of past practices help people rediscover more sustainable ways of living in their rapidly changing coastal environments? Our goal is to show how heritage stories can be used to create tangible local action that individuals everywhere can enact to help adapt to the changing climate. To explore this we use transdisciplinary methods, which bring together the knowledge and expertise of local communities in combination with academic skills working across disciplinary boundaries, to focus on three northern coastal regions: Alaska, Ireland and Wales. People are feeling the results of the climate changing and are asking what they can do on the ground, but many actions now feel insufficient and are predicated on undertakings that have little perceptible local effect. This research therefore attends to the growing social need to understand how individuals can address the effects of the climate changing at home. It provides examples of how stories can be transformed into tangible action in different locations and offers creative inspiration to those who want to actively adapt sustainably. Coastal TALES collaborates with societal partners to understand heritage stories are driving action in education, policy and local nature-based innovation.
