The justice conundrum in coastal adaptation: should we retreat or invest in floating climatopias?

Online

Next up in the Climate & Clean Energy series at Cal Poly Humboldt, guest speaker Jola Ajibade explores how justice intersects with possible solutions for sea level rise.

Dr. Ajibade is an associate professor of geography and a scholar activist who applies both environmental justice and political ecology lenses to study the intersections of climate risk, urban disasters, resilience planning, coastal management, and societal transformations. Her recent research examines how climate adaptation solutions such as managed retreat programs, floating cities, tree planting, blue-green infrastructures, and utopian development projects intertwine with exclusionary planning practices to reproduce structural and historical injustices, thereby exacerbating racial, gender, and class-based inequalities and undermining the capacities of marginalized communities to respond to climatic and socio-economic crises.

This webinar series is produced by the Schatz Energy Research Center at Cal Poly Humboldt. All events are free and open to the public.
