Day 1: Adaptation with Indigenous Knowledges

June 7: Philadelphia, EDT: 5pm - 6:30pm, Copenhagen, CEST: 11pm-12:30am / June 8: Auckland, NZST: 9am - 10:30am

  

Adaptation with Indigenous Knowledges presents design-oriented scholarship and/or indigenous or local understandings and practices of approaches to climate change adaptation. During this panel, we will seek to answer the following questions: How can local and Indigenous knowledges shape, challenge, or improve our understanding of climate change adaptation through the lens of spatial design, planning, and ways of living in the built environment? What are climate adaptation-related concepts or projects led or challenged by Indigenous people and communities?

Day 2: Adaptation Through Nature-based Solutions

June 8: Philadelphia, EDT: 6:30pm - 8pm, Copenhagen, CEST: 12:30am - 2:00am, / June 9: Auckland, NZST: 10:30am - 12:00pm

 

Adaptation Through Nature-based Solutions (NBS) examines the means to achieve multi-scalar and interdependent climate adaptation and ecological regeneration. This panel will seek to answer the following question: How are people currently working with, understanding, integrating with, and/or emulating nature in the built environment to aid and transform efforts to adapt to climate change?

Day 3: Adaptation Through Behavior Change and Action

June 9: Philadelphia, EDT: 5pm - 6:30pm, Copenhagen, CEST: 11pm-12:30am / June 10: Auckland, NZST: 9am - 10:30am 

 

Adaptation Through Behavior Change and Action investigates design strategies that support or challenge human behavior and elevates individuals and communities that witness, are impacted by, and directly respond to climate change. We will explore the following questions: How can the design of the built environment contribute to, support, and/or challenge changing human behaviors, values, and processes for working together to adapt to the impacts of climate change? How can innovative design and practice processes, including co-design and participatory design for climate change adaptation, make the design more effective as an agent of advocacy and positive change? How can architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design tangibly demonstrate and contribute to climate change activism?
