SUMMARY:Laws and Local Norms in Climate Change Adaptation: Experiences from
  Sweden\, Australia and Colombia
DESCRIPTION:Contact: ana_maria.vargas_falla@soclaw.lu.se\n\nKeynote present
 ationBeyond Rising Tides: Reimagining Pacific Islands' Climate Resilience 
 Through Land and IdentityRising sea levels threaten Pacific islands\, but 
 typical climate change stories focus too narrowly on water as the destroye
 r while ignoring the land's importance. This talk examines how island comm
 unities connect with their land – not just physically\, but culturally a
 nd spiritually. Drawing from research in Pacific and Indian Ocean islands\
 , I'll show how land provides identity\, livelihood\, and adaptation possi
 bilities that may allow islanders to remain in their homes despite climate
  challenges.Roundtable discussionGoverning the Climate Gap: exploring the 
 role of laws and institutions in Climate Change Adaptation: experiences fr
 om around the worldClimate adaptation unfolds across a fragmented legal la
 ndscape—where formal law meets soft norms\, and global goals collide wit
 h local realities (cultural and spiritual). This roundtable brings togethe
 r cases from Australia\, &nbsp\;Sweden\, and Colombia to explore how legal
  epistemologies\, legal pluralism\, and multilevel governance shape climat
 e responses from below. Through case studies and critical dialogue\, we’
 ll unpack how communities\, institutions\, and informal actors navigate th
 e uncertain legality of adaptation—revealing the promises and pitfalls o
 f governing in the climate gap.Guiding question: How do global and nationa
 l climate adaptation goals align—or clash—with local norms\, instituti
 ons\, and lived experiences\, and what does this reveal about the governan
 ce gaps shaping vulnerability and resilience?Dr Sergio Jarillo is an inter
 disciplinary socio-legal scientist and Australian Research Council Researc
 h Fellow in the School of Geography\, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (SGEA
 S) at The University of Melbourne. He has a background in Social Anthropol
 ogy and over sixteen years of experience conducting in-depth field-based r
 esearch on social change and the human dimensions of climate change in Oce
 ania (Papua New Guinea\, Australia and the Marshall Islands)\, the Indian 
 Ocean (Maldives) and Africa (Mozambique). Sergio uses ethnographic methods
  to study the social roots of climate change vulnerability and the environ
 mental and psycho-cultural elements that enable adaptation. He has an LLB 
 from the Universidad Autnoma de Madrid (Spain)\, a BA in Art History and M
 useum Studies from the Universit degli Studi di Urbino (Italy)\, as well a
 s an MPhil and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. He has previously h
 eld appointments at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC\, Columbi
 a University\, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and the Metro
 politan Museum of Art in New York. Using participatory approaches\, Sergio
  seeks to advance bottom-up framings of climate change adaptation that can
  benefit communities\, including Community-based Adaptation (CBA)\, Tradit
 ional Environmental Knowledge (TEK)\, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Eco
 systems-based Adaptation (EbA).\n\nMore information about the event: https
